Nvidia CEO Huang says China's military unlikely to use US AI chips to improve capabilities
Addressing the largest concern Washington has cited in placing increasing restrictions on US technology exports to the Asian nation,
Huang said the Chinese military will avoid using US technology because of the risks associated with doing so.
'We don't have to worry about it,' he said in an interview on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS broadcast on Sunday.
'They simply can't rely on it,' he added. 'It could be, of course, limited at any time.'
Huang and his peers have lost out on billions of dollars of revenue under increasingly tough rules designed to shut off
China from access to the most powerful artificial intelligence capabilities.
Successive administrations in Washington have maintained that unfettered use of the most capable components would pose a risk to national security.

China on track to break ETF issuance record amid booming investor demand
China is likely to issue a record number of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this year, having already crossed the halfway mark of the all-time high of 277 ETFs launched four years ago, spurred by favourable regulations and growing investor demand. Fund managers in mainland China launched 166 ETFs tracking stock indexes, bonds and overseas markets up to the end of June, according to ETFGI, a research and consulting firm. 'If the pace of launches continues, we will see the previous record of 277 ETFs in 2021 being surpassed,' said Deborah Fuhr, founder and managing partner at ETFGI. The surge in ETF listings in China reflects a broader global trend, with more than 1,300 ETFs launched worldwide in the first half of the year, putting the industry on track for a potential record.

Most of the ETFs launched on the mainland this year track equities, with the rest tracking bonds and foreign stocks, according to Z-Ben Advisors, a Shanghai-based fund tracker. In China, favourable regulations – such as streamlined approvals and reduced fees – along with growing investor demand for returns, were all contributing to the momentum, according to analysts.

What's Anwar's big surprise? Malaysians dread more taxes – or a pardon for Najib
A cryptic promise from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has become the latest lightning rod for Malaysia 's restless public, whose patience is wearing thin after months of new taxes, political scandals and economic anxiety. Late on Monday, Anwar posted a stylised silhouette and the words Akan Datang (Coming Soon) across his social media accounts, promising a special gesture of 'extraordinary' appreciation for all Malaysians. The post, which was met with widespread derision, appeared just hours after nearly 1,000 lawyers had marched to the prime minister's office in Putrajaya, protesting alleged government meddling in judicial appointments. Malaysia's digital town square fired back with its trademark blend of wit and scepticism. Comments flooded in, many laced with biting humour about the government's recent expansion of taxes on goods and services , which came into force on July 1. The social media post shared by Anwar late on Monday. The central text reads 'Coming Soon: an extraordinary tribute to the people of Malaysia'. Photo: X/AnwarIbrahim
