Last update: 25 minutes ago

US–China Trade Reset: After Trump’s Beijing summit, the White House says China will buy at least $17bn a year of US farm goods (beef, poultry and more) in 2026–2028, with beef access restored and poultry imports resumed from USDA-approved, bird-flu-free states—while China’s commerce ministry points to progress on “non-tariff barriers.” Taiwan Leverage Fight: Trump has frozen a Taiwan arms deal as a bargaining chip tied to China, while Taiwan’s US representative insists the island is only trying to stop being “swallowed.” Markets vs Oil: Asian stocks slipped as oil climbed, pushing Japan’s 10-year bond yield to a 29-year high. Japan Policy Pressure: Japan debates whether to allow a female empress as succession rules strain. China Domestic Signals: Home-price declines in China eased for a third month, hinting at stabilization. Security & Courts: Australia’s Daniel Duggan appeals extradition to the US over claims he trained Chinese military personnel. Local Governance: Sapporo tackles bus-driver shortages by training foreign drivers overseas. Regional Watch: Taiwan is again kept out of the World Health Assembly.
