The foreign ministers of #SouthKorea and China met in #Qingdao, China Tuesday and pledged to develop closer relations and maintain stable industry supply chains, which has drawn close attention in the semiconductor sector as U.S. President Biden signed the #CHIPSAct into law.
According to Korea Times, the $280 billion U.S. #CHIPSAct included billions of incentives to prevent chip manufacturers from upgrading facilities for the next 10 years in countries such as #China, which accounted for 60 percent of #SouthKorea’s semiconductor exports last year.
The two countries didn’t disclose talk details about the potentially quadrilateral group “Chip 4.” Park stressed #China as a “strategic cooperative partner,” and expected to repeat the country’s stance that the group should not be a tool of “excluding a certain country.”

According to Chinese military expert and TV commentator Song Zhongping, “combat readiness” means #China will carry out security patrols to expel enemy planes and ships whenever its sovereignty is threatened, fully equipping with weapons and personnel.

#CrossStrait

According to data from the Ministry of Oil and Mineral Resource, #Syria produced around 80300 barrels of oil per day in 2022. Only around 14200 barrels were sent to the country’s oil refinery, which means over 83 percent of Syria’s oil output is missing.

The Syrian Arab News Agency reported at least 7 cases of large convoys of U.S. tankers with stolen #Syrianoil in 2022. Bouthaina Shaaban, the media adviser to the President of Syria, said the U.S. had made #Syria, an oil-producing country, suffer from natural resource shortages.
