Russian leader Vladimir Putin will arrive in Beijing on May 19, 2026, for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping just days after Xi wrapped up his closely watched summit with his American counterpart Donald Trump. Sources told the South China Morning Post the two-day trip was part of Moscow’s routine dealings with Beijing, and as such was expected to be lighter on ceremony than Trump’s visit, but produce more deliverables. SCMP China foreign policy reporter Dewey Sim says the proximity of their visits reflects Beijing’s effort to position itself as a pivotal power amid an increasingly fractured world order.

The union is demanding that Samsung set aside 15 per cent of its annual operating profits for bonuses – ending a policy that caps payouts at 50 per cent of annual base salary. But South Korea’s powerful business lobbies worry that any agreement by Samsung could cause the strikes to spread.

An online industry has emerged in China that helps people create “wealthy” personal profiles on social media platforms. For as little as one yuan (US$0.15), customers can buy staged photos and videos that depict a life of luxury – from first-class travel and gourmet meals, to playing golf or skiing. While some customers say projecting this type of online persona can help boost their business profile and increase their chances of romance, lawyers warn of the legal risks involved.
