Earthquake Shock: A 6.3-magnitude quake hit northern Japan near Miyagi, with Shinkansen services suspended and no tsunami warning or immediate nuclear plant issues reported. Discovery Buzz: Thailand researchers say they’ve found Southeast Asia’s biggest dinosaur yet—Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis—pushing the region’s fossil record further back into the Early Cretaceous. US–China Diplomacy: Trump’s Beijing summit with Xi ended with big claims but thin specifics: a “strategic stability” framework, Taiwan warnings front and center, and talk of China buying 200 Boeing jets (with talk of up to 750 later) plus possible US oil/soybean interest—while key items like Nvidia’s H200 chip deal still appear stuck. Russia–China Pivot: Putin is set to visit Beijing next week, underscoring how both capitals juggle ties amid a fractured global order. India’s Push for Reform: India led BRICS foreign ministers with calls to overhaul global governance, especially the UN Security Council, citing West Asia differences. Regional Practicalities: Japan donated emergency-response gear to Namibia’s University of Namibia, while China activated flood response in Guangdong and Guizhou.
