US tightens its grip on AI chip flows across the globe
The U.S. government said on Monday it would further restrict artificial intelligence chip and technology exports, divvying up the world to keep advanced computing power in the U.S. and among its allies while finding more ways to block China's access.

I remember wanting to grab AP Moeller stock at the height of the pandemic before it sky rocketed as things opened up. Now it's coming back down to earth. Hopefully not a foreshadowing of what's to come in the global economy www.ft.com/content/a73e...
