In a twist that feels straight out of a high-stakes drama 🎭, Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson Gua Jiakun fired back at the U.S. on Thursday, accusing it of politicizing and weaponizing technology and trade issues.
The U.S. Justice Department recently charged two Chinese nationals with sending advanced AI chips made by Nvidia Corp. to China in violation of export restrictions. In response, Gua Jiakun said, "China opposes the U.S. politicizing tech and trade issues and using them as weapons to maliciously blockade and go after China."
He also stressed that the U.S. should "earnestly safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese nationals."
As tech, trade and geopolitics continue to intertwine, this latest spat raises questions about the future of global supply chains and digital collaboration. Stay tuned as we track the fallout and what it means for investors, entrepreneurs and tech lovers around the world! 🌐
