🇨🇳🇺🇸 US chipmakers warn Biden's semiconductor spat with China could backfire
Three global giants in the chip-making industry - Nvidia, Intel and Qualcomm – have reportedly been meeting with officials in the Biden administration, such as Antony Blinken and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, along with representatives of an array of think tanks to press the case for reconsidering additional chip restrictions regarding China.
The CEO’s of these companies have warned that Washington’s attacks on Beijing could result in China speeding up creation of its own independent chip industry. Thus, they claimed, America’s ill-conceived semiconductor trade war would result Chinese-created chips dominating on a global scale.

🇷🇺⚓️🇨🇳 First ship from Shanghai arrives in Kaliningrad region via Northern Sea Route, Governor Alikhanov says
The Northern Sea Route is the shortest maritime route between Europe and Asia, with the ability to shave upwards of 9,000 km off transit from the East China Sea to the North Sea, compared to shipments via the Suez Canal.
Once fully operational, the NSR is expected to allow the shipment of goods between Asia and Europe in as little as 19 days, 40% - 60% faster than shipments via the Suez Canal or the Cape of Good Hope, respectively.

Pepe Escobar: Putin and the Magic Multipolar Mountain
In his latest piece, Pepe Escobar reflects on the 20th annual Valdai meeting, which was held under the slogan “Fair Multipolarity.”
💬 “Beyond Valdai, and especially throughout the crucial year of 2024 - while Russia holds the presidency of BRICS - there will be much further discussion about “poles” of ancient civilizations. A broad coalition of states that support multipolarity actually do not support the “civilization” concept; instead, they support the notion of people sovereignty.”

🇩🇪💉 Tino Chrupalla, the co-leader of Germany's conservative populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, was jabbed in the arm with needle containing an unknown poisonous substance, the party said.
The incident took place as people were taking selfies with Chrupalla at a campaign rally. He felt a pain in the shoulder and went to the hospital, the German Prosecutor's Office said.
German officials have been considering banning the party, whose popularity in the polls has surged recently to surpass that of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats. AfD politicians have been outspoken critics of Berlin's lavish financial and military support for Ukraine, and called for measures to normalize relations with Russia.
