Exclusive-China's ByteDance working with Broadcom to develop advanced AI chip, sources say
China's ByteDance is working with U.S. chip designer Broadcom on developing an advanced AI processor, two sources familiar with the matter said, a move that would help TikTok's owner secure sufficient supply of high-end chips amid U.S.-Sino tensions. The 5 nanometre chip - a customised product known as an application-specific integrated chip (ASIC) - would be compliant with U.S. export restrictions and manufacturing work would be outsourced to Taiwan's TSMC, the sources added. ByteDance's tie-up with Broadcom, an existing business partner, would help slash procurement costs and ensure a stable supply of higher-end chips, said the sources, who declined to be identified due to the sensitivity of semiconductor issues in China.

Nvidia to launch in Middle East amid U.S. curbs on AI exports to region, Ooredoo CEO says
Nvidia has signed a deal to deploy its artificial intelligence technology at data centres owned by Qatari telecoms group Ooredoo in five Middle Eastern countries, Ooredoo's CEO told Reuters. The agreement marks Nvidia's first large-scale launch in a region to which Washington has curbed the export of sophisticated U.S. chips to stop Chinese firms from using Middle Eastern countries as a back door to access the newest AI technology. It will make Ooredoo the first company in the region able to give clients of its data centers in Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait and the Maldives direct access to Nvidia's AI and graphics processing technology, Ooredoo said in a statement.

STORY: GERMANY ECONOMY MINISTER ROBERT HABECK "...the doors are open for discussions and I hope that this message was heard."China and the European Union have agreed to start talks on the planned tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) being imported into the European market, senior officials on both sides said on Saturday (June 22). The news comes as Germany's economy minister, Robert Habeck, visited Beijing and Shanghai... the first trip by a senior European official to China since Brussels proposed hefty duties on EV imports to combat what the EU considers excessive subsidies.Habeck said he had been informed by EU commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis that there would be concrete negotiations.The confirmation came after the head of China's commerce ministry and Dombrovskis had agreed to start consultations over the EU's anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese EVs.Habeck called it a first step and said many more would be necessary. Zheng Shanjie, the chairman of China's National Development and Reform Commission, denied accusations of unfair subsidies, saying the development of the country's new energy industry was the result of fierce competition.He told Habeck that he hoped Germany would demonstrate leadership within the EU and that proposed EU duties on Chinese-made EVs would hurt both sides.The EU's provisional duties of up to 38.1% on imported Chinese EVs are set to apply by July 4, with the investigation set to continue until Nov. 2, when definitive duties, typically for five years, could be imposed.
