US-China Shockwave: Xi warned Trump that mishandling Taiwan could push relations into a “dangerous place,” as Trump left Beijing touting “fantastic” trade deals and saying both sides are aligned on Iran and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. North Korea Deterrence: Seoul will run next week’s Taegeuk command-post drill to sharpen crisis management against evolving North Korean threats. Counterterror Overhaul: The government plans to expand the counterterrorism center under the Prime Minister’s Office into a national control tower, aiming to coordinate responses to online extremism and drone risks. Teacher’s Day Pressure: Celebrations are being overshadowed by gift limits and social-media photo worries under the Kim Young-ran law. Defense Industry Spotlight: KF-21’s prototype took off in Sacheon, underscoring South Korea’s push to field its homegrown fighter. Markets Mood: KOSPI briefly topped 8,000 on AI-led rallies, then slid as oil-price and inflation fears returned.
