US–China Aftershocks: Trump returned from Beijing calling it a “G-2” moment, but left Taiwan and Iran largely unresolved—he warned Taipei against declaring independence and said Xi agreed Tehran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while China’s foreign ministry urged US-Iran talks and a swift strait reopening tied to a ceasefire. Russia–China Pivot: The Kremlin confirmed Putin will visit China May 19-20, days after Trump’s trip, to deepen the “comprehensive partnership” and coordinate on trade and security. Aviation Deal Watch: Boeing says China committed to buy 200 aircraft, with talk of up to 750 more—its first big China order since 2017. Japan Wildlife Tech: Japan is running short of “monster wolf” robots as bear encounters surge, after 50,000+ sightings and reported fatalities. China Tech, Unusual Twist: China’s first commercial underwater data center is now operating off Shanghai, using seawater cooling powered by offshore wind. Sports Spotlight: South Korea named Son Heung-min in his fourth World Cup squad as Group A opponents are set.
