Digital Silk Road Spotlight: China’s “Digital Silk Road” is moving beyond cables and smart-city pilots into AI, 5G, digital finance and surveillance-style governance—an influence play that’s now drawing heavy Middle East state investment. AI Rulemaking: China confirmed it is drafting a “comprehensive” AI law, with plans to tighten data, computing power, algorithms, IP and cybersecurity—signaling faster, broader tech governance. India-Netherlands Pivot: PM Modi and Dutch PM Rob Jetten elevated ties to a strategic partnership, with CEOs pushing cooperation in semiconductors, ports, logistics and clean energy; the Tata-ASML semiconductor fab deal in Gujarat stole the spotlight. India Banking Push: Assam CM Sarma inaugurated India’s first AI-powered “phygital” bank branch, using UPI-linked credit access. Security & Diplomacy: India-held Kashmir leaders backed renewed India-Pakistan dialogue, while India also reported its first major Captagon bust. China Influence Watch: A US local China-influence case resurfaced after a plea deal unsealed, keeping scrutiny on foreign-agent claims in the spotlight.
