Korea Sports Diplomacy: North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s FC arrived in South Korea for the Asian Champions League semi-final—its first visit in eight years—drawing a sell-out crowd and heavy security, but officials warn it won’t thaw relations on its own. US–China Friction: After Trump’s Beijing trip, Taiwan anxieties are rising again as he called US arms sales a “negotiating chip” tied to China, even as experts argue Taiwan should never be treated as leverage. China–Russia Pivot: Xi and Putin sent congratulatory letters for the 10th China-Russia Expo, while Putin is set to visit China May 19–20 to deepen the “comprehensive partnership.” Industrial Moves: China’s market regulator outlined new steps to back private firms, and Balrampur Chini is betting on ₹2,000 crore annual revenue from a new Uttar Pradesh bio-plastics plant. Business & Tech: Samsung’s strike risk rattled South Korea’s market, but pay talks are set to resume Monday.
