16.07.2025 ⇢ The Verdict's Corporate Response
⌹Japanese media significantly prioritized the evolving implications of China's sentencing of a Japanese Astellas employee for espionage. This development progressed from an initial report to prominent discussions around Japanese companies establishing "self-defense measures" against growing business risks in China, reflecting heightened anxieties over its judicial system. Parallel to this, the economic ripple effects of US tariff policies continued to dominate regional reporting; Indonesia notably cut interest rates in direct response to Trump's tariffs, while Chinese solar companies began shrinking their US footprint. Domestically, the approaching Upper House election remained a key focus, with discussions on parties' manifestos and challenging poll numbers for the ruling coalition. Later in the day, a new major international development emerged, with Russia reportedly ignoring US ceasefire pleas and continuing its attacks on Ukraine.
