BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Beijing slams new US export controls on Chinese tech companies

China accuses the United States of abusing export controls over Chinese technology companies involving semiconductors and chip-making technology.

The United States abuses export control measures to target Chinese companies while maintaining its own technological hegemony, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning at a press conference on Saturday, in response to Washington's new restrictions on China's access to US semiconductors and chip-making technology.

Washington put 31 Chinese technological businesses on a so-called "unverified list" on Friday, which comprises companies that US officials were unable to investigate and establish if they are trustworthy enough to import sensitive technology.

"Because of the need to maintain technological hegemony, the US abuses export controls to maliciously obstruct and suppress Chinese companies," Mao said.

The Spokesperson emphasized that Washington's stance breaches international economic and trade rules and infringes the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises while also hurting the rights and interests of American companies.

Mao added that the politicization of science, technology, trade, and economic spheres would not curb China's development and will instead backfire on the US.

The White House announced on August 25 the signing of an executive order to implement the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.

The $280 billion industrial policy bill, which Biden signed into law two weeks prior, includes more than $52 billion in subsidies for US semiconductor manufacturers in an effort to counter China's technological prowess.

"The US has relied too heavily on foreign materials and bioproduction, and our past off-shoring of critical industries, including biotechnology, threatens our ability to access materials like important chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients," the White House said in a press release.    

The initiative commits a total of $280bn to hi-tech manufacturing and research and is designed to increase the US’ competitiveness with China.

Global shortages of computer chips, prompted by the coronavirus pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, have caused production delays on a global scale for technology companies and other manufacturers.

In addition, the industry has gained increased geopolitical prominence as China accused the bill of threatening global supply chains and hampering international trade. 

The Chinese Embassy in Washington said Beijing "firmly opposed" the bill as it strikes as a "Cold War mentality."

Due to the global microchip shortage, the US economy lost last year $240 billion, and a war over Taiwan would be even more catastrophic for the US due to its reliance on one single supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
