🗣👏🇨🇳🤝🇭🇺 — 🇹🇼 Taipei Times |Xi praises Victor Orban as a model for China-EU ties | May 9, 2024:

"Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) is set to announce a range of new investments in Budapest as he touts Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Hungary as a model for what the EU’s relationship could look like with the world’s second-largest economy.

Xi was received by Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok yesterday as he started the final leg of his trip to Europe in five years, following stops in France and Serbia. During a meeting with Orban he is expected to announce more than a dozen deals covering rail, road and energy projects. Hungary’s cash-strapped government is also looking to lock in financing for some of the investments.

Xi is urging Europe to work with him to overcome trade tensions that threaten to derail a global economic recovery, holding up Hungary as an EU member where Beijing has managed to create a “strong, fruitful and dynamic” relationship."

🇺🇸🚫🇨🇳🔫©️— 🇯🇵 Nikkei Asia | U.S. moves to sanction China military vendor CETC's chip arm | Latest additions to trade restrictions list further limit Beijing's access to American tech | May 10, 2024:

"NEW YORK -- The U.S. Department of Commerce on Thursday added more Chinese companies to its Entity List, including CETC Chip Technology, one of the country’s largest military vendors.

Thirty-seven companies were added to the trade restriction list, including Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences, Shanghai Center for Quantum Science Research and several other high tech research institutes that fall under the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC).

"Chips are almost always being made with U.S. technology, even when being manufactured abroad, so this could have a very broad reach," said Clif Burns, senior counsel at Crowell & Moring. "I think we can expect [more sanctions to come]."

📱🆕📱❌🇺🇸— 🏴 ZeroHedge | Huawei's New 'Made-In-China' Smartphone Sources More Chips Locally Amid US Tech War | May 09, 2024:

"With draconian export controls and blacklisting by Washington elites, Chinese tech giant Huawei is still operating and, in fact, producing new high-tech smartphones with components increasingly sourced from domestic suppliers.

A new teardown analysis by tech repair company iFixit and consultancy TechSearch International, first reported by Reuters, shows Huawei's Pura 70 Pro has a NAND memory chip sourced domestically from the Chinese telecom equipment maker's in-house chip unit, HiSilicon.

iFixit and TechSearch found the Pura 70 handset was operating on a Huawei-made advanced processing chipset called the Kirin 9010. They said the new chip is likely an "improved version" of the advanced chip used by Huawei's Mate 60 series, which was launched last year to compete with Apple's iPhone 15 lineup."
