Samsung Strike Watch: Samsung Electronics and its union will resume government-led mediation Monday, just days before an 18-day walkout that could disrupt memory-chip output and reignite fears for the AI supply chain. Markets on a Knife-Edge: Seoul’s Kospi briefly surged past 8,000 on AI-chip optimism, then slipped as global funds sold—showing how fast sentiment can flip. AI Meets Labor Politics: The core fight is bonus pay tied to AI profits, with the union pushing for broader sharing beyond memory workers. US–China Trade Signals: China says tariff, agriculture and aircraft deals from Trump’s Beijing visit are “preliminary,” while both sides agreed to set up trade and investment boards to negotiate product-specific cuts. Culture, Tech, and Faith: Robot monks marched through Seoul for the Jogye Order’s lantern procession, as Buddhism tries to modernize its image for younger followers.
