JAXA reported a successful first lift-off and landing test of its RV-X prototype reusable rocket at the Noshiro test site, reaching about 10m altitude over roughly 40 seconds. The milestone supports Japan’s effort to improve launch competitiveness as reusable systems become central to global and regional space-launch competition.
IMD’s 2026 World Competitiveness Rankings place Singapore back at No. 1, with business efficiency cited as the key driver amid rising global fragmentation. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China also improved, while trade conditions emerged as a notable constraint, particularly for China’s economic performance pillar.
The Semiconductor Industry Association argues U.S. export controls should be narrowly targeted, evaluated for effectiveness, and aligned with other key supplier nations to protect national security without undermining competitiveness. The source highlights risks of foreign substitution, compliance strain, and reduced scale for an industry with significant overseas sales and high R&D intensity.
The Semiconductor Industry Association argues U.S. export controls should be narrowly targeted, coordinated with allied supplier nations, and informed by sustained industry consultation. The source warns that overly broad restrictions can incentivize foreign substitution, weaken U.S. competitiveness, and erode the innovation base that underpins national security.
The 2026 Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants ranking places Hong Kong’s The Chairman at No. 1 and reinforces Hong Kong’s top-tier positioning, while Greater China and Bangkok show strong depth across the list. Singapore posts multiple entries led by Odette and gains a major reputational boost with Odette’s Lesley Liu named Asia’s Best Sommelier.
A report cited by the source warns the United States may face a critical shortage of China expertise within ten years as senior specialists retire and fewer Americans study in China. The document suggests the resulting talent gap could affect national security decision-making and economic competitiveness.
