SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE, March 29 (Reuters) - Investors are piling into China's tech, media and telecom shares, with speculative bets on chatbot development crowding out other sectors in a scenario that offers a stark contrast with global caution. On some days, including several last week, turnover in tech, media and telecom (TMT) stocks made up more than 40% of total market trade, according to China Merchants Securities' research, for a record concentration of trading volume. "In the stockmarket, AI will be an epic opportunity," said Niu Chunbao, a fund manager at Wanji Asset Management who worried he was missing the rally and bought AI stocks in recent weeks, after cutting exposure to new energy in February. An eye-catching tripling in the share price of chipmaker Cambricon Technology Corp (688256.SS) has driven its market value above $10 billion, despite the company reporting losses since 2017.

And the Chinese government’s authoritarian approach to numerous other issues clashes with important American values, said many Asian Americans interviewed for this article. Concerns about China have gone mainstream as US national security officials and lawmakers have publicly grappled with state-backed ransomware attacks and other hacking attempts. People rallied during a "Stop Asian Hate" march to protest against anti-Asian hate crimes on Foley Square in New York, on April 4, 2021. But to Chu, the incident was an example of the way politics surrounding China, technology and national security have fueled anti-Asian sentiment. “Asian American issues are American issues, and all Americans deserve to be treated with respect.

Feb 12 (Reuters) - China should enhance incentives for people to build families and boost the birth rate as the country's now-falling population could threaten the world's second-biggest economy, a Chinese family planning expert said. Wang Pei'an, deputy director of the China Family Planning Association, said on Saturday more tax incentives should be created based on the family unit that could encourage births. Speaking at the third Chinese and Development Forum in Beijing, Wang cited a growing trend among younger generations to forestall having children. He called for more incentives around employment, medical care, social security and housing that could encourage people to build families.

Feeling defiant, I told him, I will let the world know what you police are doing," said Pei, 27. He asked to be identified only by part of his name for fear of repercussions. China's Ministry of Public Security did not respond to a request for comment on the laws they might use against protesters. Zhang Dongshuo, a Beijing-based lawyer who has handled rights cases in the past, said the levels of punishment for protesting in China vary widely. "They just sprang up organically because people were driven by a sense of hopelessness and desperation about the never-ending COVID restrictions," Wu said.
U.K.-based consumer tech company Nothing is setting its sights on the U.S., with ambitions of taking on Apple's iPhone. The startup, the hardware venture of Carl Pei — co-founder of Chinese mobile phone maker OnePlus — is in early conversations with American carriers about launching a new smartphone in the U.S., Pei told CNBC, without naming any of the carriers. In July, Nothing launched Phone (1), a mid-range device with a design, price and specs similar to Apple's entry-level iPhone SE. "Now we are in discussions with some carriers in the U.S. to potentially launch a future product there," said the Chinese-Swedish entrepreneur. And if we launch our smartphones there, I'm sure we could obtain significant growth," he said.
Over what has been a stunning week, China has erupted in mass protests calling for an end to the country's restrictive COVID lockdowns. Easing the COVID lockdowns could spur a potentially devastating public health crisis. Accepting Western vaccines or rolling back zero COVID would be a tacit admission that he is fallible. There's lots of money to be made in China, and its economy would almost certainly improve if zero COVID restrictions were loosened. Under Xi, China was already shuttering its doors long before the pandemic struck.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians were without power Saturday after former hurricane Fiona slammed into the country’s Atlantic provinces, causing what officials called a shocking and devastating amount of damage. More than 471,000 customers across Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island New Brunswick and Newfoundland were without power Saturday, according to utilities. “PEI (Prince Edward Island) has experienced storm damage like they’ve never seen. Fifteen deaths in Puerto Rico and two deaths in the Dominican Republic have been tied to the storm, officials there said. In Prince Edward Island, King, the premier, said Saturday that the damage is most likely the worst the province has ever seen.
Waves roll in near a damaged house built close to the shore as Hurricane Fiona, later downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone, passes the Atlantic settlement of Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada September 24, 2022. The historic storm slammed into eastern Canada with hurricane-force winds, forcing evacuations, uprooting trees and powerlines, and reducing many homes to "just a pile of rubble." read moreThe Canadian Hurricane Centre estimated that Fiona was the lowest pressured land falling storm on record in Canada. Several university students lined up for food outside convenience stores powered by generators due to the power outage caused by Fiona. "So this is exactly the kind of work that will accompany provincial authorities in the coming weeks and months," he added.
Autoritatea de reglementare a vaccinurilor din Germania a luat marți seară decizia de a suspenda vaccinarea persoanelor sub vârsta de 60 de ani cu serul AstraZeneca, scrie AFP. În această lună, Germania a reluat administrarea acestui vaccin, după ce a întrerupt imunizarea pentru toată populația. Cu excepţia a două cazuri, toate rapoartele se referă la femei cu vârste între 20 şi 63 de ani. Compania AstraZeneca a precizat însă că autoritățile internaționale de reglementare spun că beneficiile vaccinului depășesc riscurile, dar că va continua să analizeze rezultatele vaccinărilor. Studiul a fost realizat cu ajutorul a 32.449 de voluntari din SUA, Chile şi Peru care au primit ori două doze de vaccin AstraZeneca ori placebo, scrie digi24.

Pentru acest studiu, oamenii de ştiinţă au analizat 19 studii publicate anterior. Ei au combinat date obţinute în urma a 17 studii în care au fost implicate peste 560.000 de persoane cu aproape 37.000 de evenimente cardiovasculare majore, precum infarct sau accident vascular cerebral.Cercetătorii au utilizat, de asemenea, date din şase studii, efectuate pe un număr de peste 750.000 de participanţi, cu aproape 86.000 de decese în decursul unei perioade medii de 10 ani.Conform constatărilor cercetării, în comparaţie cu subiecţii a căror dietă săptămânală era cea mai săracă în alimente prăjite, persoanele care au consumat cantitatea cea mai mare prezentau un risc sporit cu 28% de a suferi evenimente cardiovasculare majore. Totodată, acestea din urmă aveau un risc cu 22% mai mare de boli de inimă şi cu 37% mai mare de insuficienţă cardiacă.Aceste riscuri au crescut substanţial cu 3%, 2% şi respectiv 12%, cu fiecare porţie suplimentară săptămânală de circa 110 grame, după cum au notat Pei Qin de la Centrul pentru Ştiinţe Medicale din cadrul Universităţii Shenzhen şi colegii săi.Studiul a fost publicat marţi în jurnalul ştiinţific Heart.Nu este clar modul în care alimentele prăjite pot creşte riscul de apariţie a bolilor cardiovasculare, însă sunt posibile mai multe explicaţii, au menţionat autorii studiului într-un comunicat. Alimentele prăjite conţin aşa-numiţii acizi graşi trans, nocivi, din uleiurile vegetale hidrogenate utilizate adesea în procesul de prepare. Totodată, prăjirea stimulează producţia unor substanţe chimice secundare, ce pot declanşa un răspuns inflamator în organism.În plus, alimentele bogate în sare, cum ar fi puiul prăjit şi cartofii prăjiţi, sunt adesea servite împreună cu băuturi îndulcite cu zahăr, în special în restaurantele de tip fast-food, au notat cercetătorii.

Alimentele prăjite, factor important în apariţia bolilor de inimă şi a accidentului vascular cerebralConsumul de alimente prăjite este asociat cu un risc crescut de boli de inimă şi accident vascular cerebral, sugerează un nou studiu realizat în China şi citat miercuri de UPI. Probabilitatea de a dezvolta astfel de probleme de sănătate creşte cu fiecare porţie suplimentară de circa 110 grame de alimente prăjite pe săptămână, au mai constatat cercetătorii. Totodată, acestea din urmă aveau un risc cu 22% mai mare de boli de inimă şi cu 37% mai mare de insuficienţă cardiacă, scrie Agerpres.
