US–China Summit Watch: Trump and Xi opened talks in Beijing with a “partners not rivals” message, but the agenda is loaded—trade, Taiwan, and the Iran war—while lawmakers and officials press Washington to raise North Korea-related human rights and security concerns. North Korea Personnel Crackdown: Pyongyang dismissed and reassigned South Pyongan officials after a military rear-support drive tied to the 94th army anniversary, signaling tighter loyalty tests. Summit Prep Uncertainty: Seoul says a Trump–Kim meeting is possible but “almost no preparations” are underway. Hormuz Security: South Korea sees low odds of a non-Iranian role in a May 4 attack on a South Korean-operated vessel, though attribution is pending. Crypto & DPRK Risk: North Korea-linked theft remains a major threat theme as DeFi recovery efforts continue in parallel with broader AI-driven cyber escalation.
