Green Diplomacy: India and Norway launched a “green strategic partnership” in Oslo, aiming to scale clean energy, climate resilience, Arctic research and green shipping, with leaders also pushing to double bilateral trade by 2030. China-US Trade Truce Watch: After Trump and Xi’s Beijing summit, the White House says China will ramp up purchases of U.S. beef and poultry to about $17bn a year—another attempt to steady markets while broader tensions linger. Banking Pressure in China: China’s banks eked out higher 2025 profits, but net interest margins slid to record lows, keeping pressure on earnings and credit demand. Human Rights Spotlight: Amnesty says Iran carried out 2,159 executions in 2025—the highest since 1981—while noting China’s figures are hard to track due to secrecy. Tech & Industry Moves: India’s Tata Electronics signed with ASML to build its first front-end chip fabrication plant, while Bain Capital announced a $10.5bn Asia fund close. Tourism & Culture: China’s summer travel buzz includes a beer museum push in Qingdao and fresh debate over “NPC” performers in cultural tourism.
