After much talk of patching things up, a grand rapprochement has failed to materialise, with Beijing seen to be playing a “waiting game”.
2. US Senate, passing Trump bill, bars energy tax credits for China-linked firms
The US Congress is poised to bar companies with ties to China from gaining clean energy tax credits – a move that critics warn could jeopardise dozens of planned projects.
3. Round-the-clock live fire, urban survival drills: Taiwan to test war readiness

For the first time, Taiwan’s largest annual military exercise will combine conventional war games and urban survival drills under “unprecedented” live-fire conditions.
4. China’s Xi singles out ‘disorderly low-price competition’ for attention
Officials have favoured a vaguer term – “involutionary competition” – but the president cut to the chase at top-level economic meeting.
5. China mostly unscathed by turbulent 6 months, but 2025 still an uphill climb

Analysts said Beijing has a number of challenges to reckon with this year, but largely agreed the country can still meet its economic growth target.
6. China boosts tech outreach to Global South as US collaboration dips: analysts
Washington is said to be missing out on “big” opportunities while Beijing reaches agreements with “dozens and dozens of countries”.
