The show begins by discussing the turmoil surrounding Meta’s takeover of Manus AI, a deal China has rejected. It then shifts to Apple’s efforts to keep the situation in China peachy. Subsequently, it roams to the topic of the Italian government putting the brakes on Sinochem, the largest Pirelli shareholder, before shifting to BYD’s challenges in Brazil. Next, it travels to the United Kingdom, which has banned the use of Ming Yang wind turbines. The last segment covers the U.S. push to restrict the sale of chip-making equipment to China, block foreign router sales in the U.S., and hang up on on Chinese telecom companies as well as China's unwillingness to buy billions of high-end American AI chips.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
