US–China Summit: Xi Jinping warned Donald Trump that mishandling Taiwan could push relations into “a very dangerous place,” as the leaders wrapped a two-day Beijing visit with talks on trade and Iran. Middle East Energy Shock: With tensions flaring near the Strait of Hormuz, ships were seized and another sank, keeping oil-price pressure in focus. AI Meets Publishing: South Korea’s publishers’ chief says the industry must brace for “AI readers,” pushing for standards on copyright and compensation. Air Arabia Earnings: The airline reported Q1 2026 net profit of AED 278m (down 22% y/y) as airspace restrictions hit capacity, even as passenger demand held up. Japan Inflation: Japan’s wholesale prices jumped 4.9% y/y in April, driven by higher import costs tied to the Iran conflict. Gaming Deals: Nexon extended EA’s FC publishing partnership in Korea and renewed Tencent’s Dungeon&Fighter publishing in China for another decade.
