Last update: 8 hours agoUS–China Summit Fallout: After a whirlwind Beijing visit, Trump left with “fantastic” trade claims but no clear breakthroughs—while Xi’s sharp Taiwan warning stayed front and center.

Taiwan Security: Taiwan’s government pushed back, stressing US arms sales are a deterrent under the Taiwan Relations Act, even as uncertainty grows over what Washington will actually approve next. Iran Shock Spillover: Trump claimed Xi agreed on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but China offered no commitment—keeping the Iran conflict’s ripple effects on energy and regional risk alive. Semiconductor Pulse: TSMC’s Kumamoto unit fab turned profitable in Q1, while Samsung’s labor dispute risked production disruption—both underscoring how quickly geopolitics and industry pressures feed into Taiwan’s tech ecosystem.
