reut.rs/3U9O7d5
Quick Glance: Samsung to Receive Generous Chip Subsidies for Texas Expansion

ft.com/content/49a7a751-febe-4db1-9d24-a5b99eb694dc
Quick Glance: South Korean Exporters Warn of China as Rival
- South Korea's economy needs to urgently adapt to the increasing competition from China, as the country's biggest exporters battle for market share in sectors like chips, shipbuilding, and display panels, warns the finance minister.

- The government recently indicated it would reverse a cut in the R&D budget for 2024 to reform the country's research and development efforts and enhance economic competitiveness.
