The day was dominated by the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing, which began in the morning with Trump calling Xi a 'great leader.' By early afternoon, Xi warned that mishandling Taiwan could lead to a 'clash,' a message echoed across multiple outlets. The summit concluded with agreements on Iran's nuclear non-proliferation and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but Taiwan remained a sticking point. In the evening, Trump invited Xi to the White House in September. Domestically, a robbery-murder in Tochigi led to the arrest of a 16-year-old, and Honda reported its first post-IPO net loss due to EV write-downs. The day's coverage reflected a shift toward a 'G2' dynamic, with China appearing more confident.
