US-China Afterglow: China’s commerce ministry called Trump-Xi trade, agriculture and aircraft deals “preliminary,” while both sides set up new trade and investment boards—signaling stability, but no hard break from the wider standoff. India-Netherlands Power Move: PM Modi and Dutch PM Rob Jetten elevated ties to a strategic partnership, with CEOs praising momentum in semiconductors, ports, logistics and defence; the ASML-Tata semiconductor push and a Chola-era copper plates repatriation ceremony underlined the tech-and-heritage angle. Middle East Energy Shock: Strait of Hormuz concerns stayed front and center as leaders discussed closure impacts and the need to end West Asia conflict. Regional Business Tensions: Indonesia’s Chinese business group warned tougher rules are spooking investors, while Jakarta says it’s protecting sovereignty. Everyday Science: Japan’s study suggests cats’ eating changes with smell—appetite can rebound when scent shifts, not just the food.
