The level of economic cooperation between South Korea and India is still very low. Going forward, we will expand that space and make the relationship between South Korea and India completely different from what it is now.

The Minamitorishima operation, conducted with the scientific deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu, represents the world's first attempt to sample at such depths.

Instead of paralyzing China's AI sector, these controls have promoted domestic self-reliance. With no choice but to develop indigenous workarounds and architectural innovations, Chinese businesses are decoupling AI progress from sheer hardware volume. U.S. policies have undoubtedly bought time, but they have also ushered in a parallel innovation ecosystem totally independent of Western influence.

Nvidia's Q3 FY2026 earnings call revealed China data center revenue grew sequentially on "export-compliant copper products," but CFO Colette Kress noted it "remains well below levels prior to the onset of export controls." Nvidia has been selling export-compliant chips to China for two years, and China previously represented 20-30% of revenue share. NVDA is up 0.77% over the past week while Advanced Micro Devices ( NASDAQ:AMD) surged 12%. Nvidia's stock has shown limited movement following the news, while AMD has captured significant momentum.

"We decided the leadership was so unpredictable, anything could happen," he said, adding that tariff volatility made long-term commitments difficult. "If the tariff goes up to 25 per cent and we become uncompetitive, the whole store proposition is at risk," he said. "I'm not going to sign a five-year lease in this environment." His comments follow a US Supreme Court ruling that many of the tariffs introduced since 2024 were unlawful. However, the administration subsequently confirmed a temporary 10 per cent global tariff, later raised to 15 per cent, adding to market uncertainty.

President Trump hates the United States' trade deficit. Indeed, he is so concerned about the "economic and national security risks" the deficit creates that he imposed a tariff regime that raised geopolitical tensions across the globe.The only problem is that his tariffs don't appear to be rebalancing the huge volume of goods and services the U.S. imports, versus its declining exports.

Oil built the 20th century. Rare earths and critical minerals is building the 21st. Every electric vehicle, wind turbine, solar panel, and guided missile depends on materials one country controls. China dominates the majority of rare earth processing and lithium refining. That's not a supply chain. That's a geopolitical weapon. The energy transition isn't optional. Neither is national security. The companies extracting lithium, neodymium, nickel, and copper are infrastructure for everything that comes next. Here are five stocks positioned to capture that demand.

China's official discourse centres on the idea of peaceful rise, the commitment to non-interference in internal affairs, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and economic partnerships based on mutual benefit. Beijing insists that relations with Washington should not slide into conflict, calling for a system of global governance built on cooperation rather than confrontation. Yet the geopolitical landscape reveals a wide gap between this discourse and reality. Donald Trump's return to the White House has brought back rhetorical escalation and increased geopolitical pressure.

A decade ago, China's political leaders laid out an ambitious industrial plan: By 2025, they pledged, their country would be a world capital, with the goal of moving from "Chinese speed to Chinese quality, the transformation of Chinese products to Chinese brands." This is the difference, they wrote, between "Made in China" and "Created in China." At WIRED, we never take what the government (ours or anybody else's) says at face value.

The secret to BYD's success is simple: The company makes high-tech electric and hybrid cars and sells them at incredible prices. The tiny BYD Seagull costs as little as $8,000 in China, and it's a megahit in several countries. The Chinese car industry-not just BYD but also its many competitors that also make affordable cars-is quickly taking over the world.
