Quick Glance: EU Raises Stakes With Chinese Medical-Device Probe

The EU launched a probe into Chinese medical-device procurement, prompted by concerns that the government in Beijing unfairly favors domestic suppliers, risking tensions ahead of Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.

The investigation will collect information from companies and member states and must be concluded within nine months. If it confirms a lack of reciprocity, the EU could restrict Chinese access to its tenders.

This move follows a decision last year to begin an anti-subsidy probe into electric vehicles made in China, potentially leading to new tariffs by July.

Chinese leaders have rebutted European and US criticism of market distortion in favor of domestic firms, but doubts persist regarding Beijing's extensive use of public support.

apnews.com/article/israel-ukraine-aid-tiktok-senate-8fe738b17e5c4b2636bc0de11b2620b7

Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.

Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.

There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Beijing half marathon winners stripped of medals after African trio let Chinese runner win

Quick Glance: Scandal at Beijing Half Marathon: 4 Runners Disqualified

Following an unusual finish at the Beijing Half Marathon, the top finishers were disqualified as three runners from Africa seemingly made way for a Chinese competitor to win.

The finish line incident caused a commotion, prompting questions about why the three other runners appeared to yield the victory to He.

Subsequent to the investigation, all four runners were disqualified for the pacemakers deliberately slowing down in the final two kilometers of the race, aiding He's victory.

Confirmation was provided by the organizers that although Xtep invited Mnangat, Keter, and Hailu as pacemakers, they were mistakenly registered as ordinary competitors.

Chinese hackers are constantly targeting critical infrastructure in the U.S., FBI Director says

qz.com/china-hacking-fbi-christopher-wray-panic-volt-typhoon-1851425289

Quick Glance: Cyber Threats from China Targeting US Critical Infrastructure

According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chinese hackers are continuously seeking to infiltrate the computer systems of U.S. water treatment facilities and energy grids to induce panic.

Wray claimed that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has allocated significant resources to an offensive cyber program that surpasses those of all other major nations combined.

Wray primarily focused on the China threat concerning critical infrastructure but was also questioned about TikTok, the social media platform facing potential banning in the U.S. if ByteDance does not comply.

The FBI director emphasizes that the threat is not merely a long-term concern anymore but could materialize by 2027, as indicated by a recent assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence suggesting a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan before the decade ends.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies

Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.

The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.

The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.

The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Congress approves bill banning TikTok unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells platform

ft.com/content/d84df824-19c0-4105-ae95-816dd0618efb

Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?

Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.

The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.

Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.

Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.

Quick Glance: Tesla responds to declining sales with global price reductions

Tesla has lowered prices in various key markets, including China and Germany, to address the declining sales and increasing price competition for electric vehicles.

The recent price reductions come in light of a decrease in Tesla's global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter, marking the first time in nearly four years.

The starting price of the revamped Model 3 in China was reduced by 14,000 yuan to 231,900 yuan. Similarly, in Germany, the price of the rear-wheel-drive Model 3 was decreased from 42,990 euros to 40,990 euros.

In addition to the mentioned price cuts, there were reductions in many other countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Prices for the Model Y, Model X, and Model S vehicles in the US were decreased by $2,000. Moreover, Tesla slashed the price of its Full Self-Driving Software in the US from $12,000 to $8,000.

Quick Glance: Pro-China Party Secures Overwhelming Victory in Maldives Election

President Mohamed Muizzu's PNC party wins by a landslide in Sunday's election, gaining control of parliament with a supermajority.

The PNC, with three additional seats from allies, secures 70 out of 93 seats, signaling a shift towards China from India.

Official results confirmation is expected soon, with the new assembly set to take office in early May.

The election serves as a pivotal moment for Muizzu's agenda of closer economic ties with China following his previous win in the presidential election.
