China's exports in May grew by 7.6%, exceeding expectations and marking the fastest pace in over a year, while imports fell short of estimates based on customs data released. The growth is attributed to a lower base from a year before and a boosted demand for steel, automobiles, home appliances, and ships. Despite escalating trade tensions with the U.S. and Europe, China's trade surplus widened, with exports to the ASEAN nations leading the growth. The strong performance in exports is expected to continue, supported by a weaker exchange rate and government spending boosting the import-intensive construction sector.

During a World Cup Asian Qualifier match in Hong Kong, three citizens were arrested for not standing or facing the field while China's national anthem was played before the match against Iran. The individuals were detained by the police on suspicion of violating the National Anthem Law, which could lead to a fine or three years of imprisonment. This incident reflects the tense sentiment in Hong Kong towards China since the 2014 Occupy Movement, with fans often expressing dissent during international football matches by booing the Chinese national anthem. The law in mainland China regarding the national anthem came into effect in 2020, outlining penalties for improper use or disrespect of the anthem. Hong Kong now implements certain national laws from mainland China post-sovereignty transfer, including the National Flag and National Anthem Laws.
