bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-04-24/eu-raises-stakes-with-chinese-medical-device-probe
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.
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: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam
- A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.
- Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.
- Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.
- The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.
