China defends ban on US chipmaker Micron, accuses Washington of 'economic coercion'

The Chinese government has defended its ban on products from U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. in some computer systems after Washington expressed concern BEIJING -- The Chinese government on Wednesday defended its ban on products from U.S. memory chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. in some computer systems after Washington expressed concern, adding to strains over technology and security. The security review of Micron products was “conducted in accordance with the law," said a foreign ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning.

That came after Washington, Japan and the Netherlands blocked Chinese access to Technology to make advanced processor chips on security grounds at a time when the ruling Communist Party is threatening to attack Taiwan and is more assertive toward its other Asian neighbors. ...

15 Best Things to Do in Johannesburg

Image
Here I use my expert knowledge of South Africa to highlight the best things to do in Johannesburg. It’s a city which took me some time to love, but look beyond its obvious problems and you’ll find a vibrant forward-facing city packed with attractions just as I did. Johannesburg, Jo’burg, Jozi, eGoli. Call it what you will, the reputation of South Africa’s biggest city won’t have passed you by. But high crime rates – now thankfully on the turn – aren’t the end of the city’s story. Plus, as the site of the country’s primary international airport, there’s a good chance you’ll end up in Johannesburg at least overnight. It would be a real shame to waste that time locked up in a hotel in one of the city suburbs. Born out of the discovery of gold in 1896, Johannesburg fell into decline with the ‘white flight’ of the transition between apartheid and multiparty democracy a hundred years later. As families moved out to the suburbs, undesirables moved in. Now however, communities are tak...

WATCH: McLaren hint at special one-off livery for Monaco Grand Prix

McLaren have become the latest Formula 1 team to tease of a potential one-off livery for the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend. After Williams sponsor Gulf hinted at a fresh livery for the race in the Principality, McLaren have joined the fun, hinting that the MCL60s of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri could be decked out in new colours. In a video celebrating McLaren's exploits in the Triple Crown of Motorsport – Monaco, the Indy 500 and Le Mans 24 Hours – the team teased a potential black and white livery with a blurred image of this year's car not in its traditional orange. If the team commit to running such a livery, it could be in honour of the 1966 Monaco GP where founder Bruce McLaren entered his eponymous team into a World Championship Grand Prix for the first time – lasting nine laps before retiring with an oil leak. McLaren have won in Monaco a record 15 times between the first with Alain Prost in 1984 and Lewis Hamilton in 2008. They are contenders for vic...

Regulators dust off rule books to tackle generative AI

As the race to develop more powerful artificial intelligence services like ChatGPT accelerates, some regulators are relying on old laws to control a technology that could upend the way societies and businesses operate. The European Union is at the forefront of drafting new AI rules that could set the global benchmark to address privacy and safety concerns that have arisen with the rapid advances in the generative AI technology behind OpenAI's ChatGPT. But it will take several years for the legislation to be enforced. "In absence of regulations, the only thing governments can do is to apply existing rules," said Massimilano Cimnaghi, a European data governance expert at consultancy BIP. "If it's about protecting personal data, they apply data protection laws, if it's a threat to safety of people, there are regulations that have not been specifically defined for AI, but they are still applicable." In April, Europe's n...
