Flying the last Brave Eagle high-education aircraft into the sky on the day it was delivered symbolized the success of China's domestic manufacturing. Cao Jinping transformed military leadership into market competitiveness, promoted Hanxiang to enter the life-cycle maintenance and civil aircraft order markets, and developed cutting-edge systems such as black-wing drones, actively exploring global aerospace and military-industrial business opportunities.

Gucci launches new Drip sneakers, marked as Made in China, breaking the tradition of Italian manufacturing. The move is aimed at controlling costs and attracting aspirational consumers, but has sparked concerns in the industry that it could damage the brand's upscale image. Kering Group CEO Mayo hopes to reverse the group's decline through this move. Gucci's sales have halved in the past three years. The retail price of the shoes starts at 820 euros, which is still in the luxury category.

At the same time, due to the surge in demand for AI high-bandwidth memory, Taiwan's imports from South Korea increased to US$42.21 billion, and its imports from Japan exceeded US$19.51 billion. South Korea and Japan have become the top two sources of trade deficit.
