North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Un is trying to claim his country's stake in the multibillion-dollar global tourism industry by opening a brand-new beach resort. But not many foreign tourists will be able to take advantage of the new facilities, as the country has mostly been closed to visitors since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Charles Pellegrin speaks to Simon Cockerell, the general manager of Koryo Tours, a company that has been running tours in North Korea since 1993 and more recently in Afghanistan.

China moves to tame 'irrational competition' as EV price war persists
Beijing has poured vast state funds into the EV sector, supporting the development and production of less polluting battery-powered vehicles. But a price war has left many startups bust as firms flood the domestic market with low-cost cars and trade-in schemes, offering huge discounts to customers to give up their old auto for a new one. Domestic criticism has mounted in recent months against intra-industry "involution" -- a popular tag used to describe the race to outcompete that ends up nowhere. A meeting of top officials in Beijing -- chaired by Premier Li Qiang -- called Wednesday for tighter price monitoring and improving long-term regulation of competition in the sector, state news agency Xinhua said. Officials called for stronger order in the new energy vehicle market to "curb irrational competition" and spur more healthy development, Xinhua said. "It is necessary to... strengthen industry self-discipline" and help companies enhance their competitiveness through technological innovation, the agency quoted officials as saying. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, a top industry group, warned in May that "disorderly" competition would exacerbate harmful rivalry and hurt growth. Analyst Bill Bishop wrote in his Sinocism newsletter that the wording of Wednesday's readout could suggest Beijing will place "price controls" on electric vehicles. "The language on the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry was tough, in another sign that the government is going to intervene to rectify the 'irrational competition' in the industry," he wrote.

'Shop local': Bad Bunny brings tourism surge to Puerto Rico
The ethos is core to his 30-show concert series in San Juan which, after nine performaces exclusive to residents, will open up to fans from elsewhere -- what many Boricuas, as Puerto Ricans are known, are hoping will serve as an exercise in responsible tourism. "It's an incredible moment for the island," said Davelyn Tardi of the promotional agency Discover Puerto Rico. The organization conservatively estimates the residency will bring in some $200 million to Puerto Rico over the approximately three-month run, which falls during the typically less-trafficked summer months. Azael Ayala works at a bar in one of San Juan's popular nightlife zones, telling AFP that business was already booming even though the residency was only in its first weekend. It's "completely changed," the 29-year-old said, as crowds buzzed about La Placita where some bars were slinging Bad Bunny-themed cocktails. "We're thrilled," Ayala said. "The tips are through the roof." The fact that people are coming from across the globe to see Bad Bunny "is a source of pride for Puerto Rico, too," he added. Arely Ortiz, a 23-year-old student from Los Angeles, couldn't score a ticket to a show -- but said Bad Bunny was still the draw that prompted her to book her first trip to Puerto Rico. "I really love how outspoken he is about his community," she said. "Just seeing him, that he can get so far, and he's Latino, it encourages more Latinos to be able to go for what they want." "He has for sure empowered Latinos, like 100 percent." Tourism: it's complicated But while tourism has long been an economic engine for the Caribbean island that remains a territory of the United States, the relationship is complicated. Concerns around gentrification, displacement and cultural dilution have magnified on the archipelago beloved for stunning beaches with turquoise waters -- especially as it's become a hotspot for luxury development, short-term rentals and so-called "digital nomads" who work their laptop jobs remotely while traveling the world. Visiting foreigners sample the island's beauty but are shielded from the struggle, say many locals who are coping with a chronic economic crisis exacerbated by natural disasters, as rents soar and massive blackouts are routine. Bad Bunny -- who was born and raised Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio -- himself has pointed to such issues and more in his metaphor and reference-laden lyrics. "In my life, you were a tourist," reads one translation of his track "Turista." "You only saw the best of me and not how I was suffering." Historian Jorell Melendez Badillo told AFP that Puerto Rico by design has long catered to foreign investment: "A lot of people see tourism as sort of like this colonial undertone," he said. But when it comes to Bad Bunny and his residency at the affectionately nicknamed venue El Choli, "we cannot negate the fact that it's going to bring millions of dollars" to the island, he added. "We can celebrate what Benito is doing while also looking at it critically, and having a conversation around what type of tourism will be incentivized by this residency." Ana Rodado traveled to Puerto Rico from Spain after a friend native to the island gifted her a ticket. She booked a five-day trip with another friend that included a visit to beachside Vega Baja, the municipality where Bad Bunny grew up and worked bagging groceries before gaining fame. After posing for a photo in the town square, Rodado told AFP that she'd been trying to take the artist's "shop local" plea to heart. "Tourism is a global problem," she said. "To the extent possible, we have to be responsible with our consumer choices, and above all with the impact our trip has on each place." "We try to be respectful, and so far people have been really nice to us." Ultimately, Bad Bunny's residency is a love letter to his people -- a show about and for Puerto Ricans whose narrative centers on heritage, pride and joy. "We're here, damn it!" he shouted to ecstatic screams during his sweeping first show, which at times felt like a giant block party. "I'd come back for the next 100 years -- if God lets me, I'll be here." © 2025 AFP

Nvidia's Huang says 'doing our best' to serve Chinese market
Huang is in the Chinese capital this week to attend the China International Supply Chain Expo, a forum for the country to boost its image as the global defender of free trade in contrast to the tariff chaos sparked by US President Donald Trump. He said officials had told him the country was "open and stable". "We spoke about... China welcoming foreign companies to invest here and build businesses here, and that China is open and stable," he told reporters at the expo. Huang also said he had told them his firm, which this week became the first to hit $4 trillion in market value, was keen to serve the massive Chinese market for microchips needed in everything from mobile phones to electric vehicles. "They want to know that Nvidia continues to invest here, that we are still doing our best to serve the market here," he said. Huang also addressed the expo's opening ceremony on Wednesday morning, when he hailed China's role in pioneering artificial intelligence. "China's open-source AI is a catalyst for global progress, giving every country and industry a chance to join the AI revolution," he said in a reference to Chinese AI startup DeepSeek. "AI is transforming every industry, from scientific research and healthcare to energy, transportation and logistics," he said. Huang praised China's "super-fast" innovation, powered by its "researchers, developers and entrepreneurs". Opening up Nvidia announced on Tuesday that it will resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing restrictions that had halted exports. The California-based company produces some of the world's most advanced semiconductors but cannot ship its most cutting-edge chips to China due to concerns that Beijing could use them to enhance military capabilities. Nvidia developed the H20 -- a less powerful version of its AI processing units -- specifically for export to China. However, that plan stalled when the Trump administration tightened export licensing requirements in April. But Nvidia said this week Washington had told it that "licences will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon". The announcement from Nvidia boosted tech firms around the world, with Wall Street's Nasdaq exchange rising to another record high. Asked on Wednesday about whether he had sought to sway President Trump before heading to China, Huang said: "I don't think I changed his mind". "It's my job to inform the President about what I know very well, which is the technology industry, artificial intelligence," he told reporters. 'Multiple risks intertwining' The tightened US export curbs come as China's economy wavers, with domestic consumers reluctant to spend and a prolonged property sector crisis weighing on growth. President Xi Jinping has called for greater self-reliance in the face of increasing external uncertainty. Vice Premier He Lifeng, in a thinly veiled swipe at Trump in his opening remarks at the expo, said: "... some countries are interfering in the market under the pretext of reducing risk, using measures such as imposing tariffs". "Global changes of a century are accelerating, with multiple risks intertwining and piling up," he added. "We need to further build a shared consensus on development, firmly oppose the politicisation... and over-securitisation of economic and trade issues." The foreign ministry in Beijing also hailed Wednesday's expo as a "new calling card for China's high-level opening up to the outside world". "China is willing to continue working with all parties to safeguard the stability and smooth operation of global production and supply chains and promote the building of an open world economic system," spokesman Lin Jian said.
