China responds to Taiwan's tech blockade
Taiwan Affairs Office representative Zhu Fenglian said China would take 'effective measures' to maintain the normal order of cross-strait economic and trade exchanges, and safeguard the interests of companies on both sides.
Zhu argued any actions by Taiwan authorities to undermine cross-strait economic cooperation would only damage the competitiveness of Taiwanese enterprises, adding the latest restrictions could not stop the 'pace of scientific and technological innovation in the mainland'.
Taiwan's International Trade Administration put Huawei, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp and several of their subsidiaries on its strategic high-tech commodities entity list earlier this month, blocking access to domestic factory construction technologies, along with materials and equipment used to build advanced chips.
The US and other allies are also taking stronger measures to block Chinese companies' access to advanced chipmaking equipment and AI chips.

Nvidia to 'follow the rules' after US government says it will take 15% cut of H20 chip sales
Nvidia has said that it will follow the rules of the US government in an effort to ensure that it can sell its H20 chips to China. This comes after the White House confirmed that both Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices would be giving the US government 15 per cent of revenue generated from selling certain chips to Beijing. 'We follow rules the US government sets for our participation in worldwide markets,' an Nvidia representative told The National on Monday. 'While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide.' The statement added that Nvidia wants to make sure that ' America's AI tech stack ' is the international standard amid the global AI race. The decision of the US government to take a cut of products like the H20 are far from normal. The news about the 15 per cent tariff comes weeks after the White House announced that it would allow Nvidia to sell its H20 graphics processing unit to China. The H20 is designed to comply with US regulations that seek to prevent powerful AI technology from being used by countries it views as adversaries. During a news conference on Monday, President Donald Trump told reporters that he considered the H20 to be an older chip, and implied that it wasn't necessarily a threat to sell it to China, but given that Nvidia was so eager to sell it, he insisted on a deal. 'Listen, I want 20 per cent,' he said, recalling his recollection of back-and-forth exchanges with Nvidia. 'I want that for the US, not for myself." Recently, however, critics have suggested that allowing China to have the H20 would be detrimental to US efforts to maintain an AI technology lead. In late July, a group of Democratic senators urged Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who largely crafts export policies, to reverse course on the licences. The lawmakers said a decision to sell H20 chips to China was 'an abrupt departure' from the administration's position in April that Beijing's access to the processors posed a serious national security risk. Nvidia strongly disagreed with the letter. 'The H20 helps America win the support of developers worldwide, promoting America's economic and national security,' an Nvidia representative told The National in July. 'It does not enhance anyone's military capabilities, and the US government has full visibility and authority over every H20 transaction.' The 15 per cent imposed on Nvidia's H2O comes amid a broader debate among technology executives, economists and analysts as to how to protect and potentially expand the US lead in AI, especially with China quickly catching up with American technology. Former president Joe Biden's administration sought to address concerns about the US maintaining its AI lead through strengthening export controls, which limited certain CPUs and GPUs from being exported to various countries. That policy, however, was strongly criticised by companies like Microsoft and Nvidia, which said that export controls hurt more than they helped, and threatened to weaken US technology influence around the world. In defence of the export policies, Biden administration officials maintained that Nvidia witnessed record profits even with the policies in place. Regardless, the Trump White House has sought to blunt and in some cases reverse some of the export controls. During the Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit in July, White House AI and crypto tsar David Sacks suggested the strict export rules alienated US allies while also giving an opening to Chinese companies like Huawei, which has been trying to vastly expand its AI technologies and chip infrastructure. 'We don't want to create demand for Huawei,' he said. The developments of a 15 per cent tariff on Nvidia's H20, however, show that the initial about-face pivot from Biden policies are still a work in progress.

Emerging countries' debt payments to private lenders dwarf those to China
Lower-income countries' external debt payments to private lenders remain three times higher than payments to China, research shows, shedding light on the complex, costly web of creditors they face as they struggle to keep up repayments. The research, by advocacy group Debt Justice UK, underscores the power private lenders - from bondholders to commodity trading houses - have in countries across the developing world which juggle debt repayments with spending on other needs, from education to infrastructure. Tim Jones, policy director at Debt Justice, said the data countered a narrative that China has played a primary role in creating debt crises in lower-income countries. China has lent hundreds of billions of dollars for infrastructure and other projects in developing countries and has used earnings of commodity exports, or cash held in restricted escrow accounts, from borrower nations as security for the loans. "Commercial high-interest lenders are receiving the greatest debt payments by lower-income countries," Jones said in a statement. "Where debt payments are too high, all external creditors need to cancel debt, in proportion to the interest rates they charged." While a post-pandemic wave of defaults has largely crested, developing countries still struggle with unsustainable debt as concessional financing shrinks, borrowing costs remain high and spending needs for infrastructure and climate resilience rise. Ethiopia is locked in debt restructuring negotiations with bondholders who have rejected taking haircuts, while Ghana and Zambia are still negotiating deals with some private creditors. The International Monetary Fund also recently wrote that Malawi was in default on $439 million in loans to Afreximbank and $464 million to Trade and Development Bank. Debt Justice's research, using World Bank data, found that between 2020 and 2025, 39% of external debt payments by 88 lower-income countries and small island developing states - a total of $354 billion - went to private lenders, compared with 34% to multilaterals, 13% to Chinese public and private lenders and 14% to repay bilateral loans to other governments. Of the 32 countries with the highest external debt payments, 21 of them sent more than 30% of payments to private lenders. Only six of them - Angola, Cameroon, Congo Republic, Djibouti, Laos and Zambia sent more than 30% of external debt payments to Chinese lenders. The data also showed a sharp increase in repayments to multilateral lenders - from $30 billion in 2020 to $70 billion in 2025. Jones said the rise followed a rapid increase in multilateral lending from 2019, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of those loans are starting to come due now, he said, while those with floating interest rates would have become more expensive during the global interest rate hiking cycle.

Stock and bond markets cautious ahead of big week for geopolitics and economic data
Stocks marked time on Monday, holding just shy of peaks scaled in late July, as investors awaited a crucial report on U.S. inflation that will likely also set the course of the dollar and bonds. Trade and geopolitics also loom large for investors this week. A U.S. tariff deadline on China, due to expire on Tuesday, is expected to be extended again, while U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin are due to meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss ending the Ukraine war. S&P 500 futures were last up 0.16%, with Europe's STOXX 600 share index flat on the day after Asia-Pacific stocks had gained 0.3%. That leaves MSCI's world share index around 0.2% below its all-time high hit in late July as a strong earnings season in the United States, and a mildly positive one in Europe, support overall sentiment, helping investors to shrug off the impact of soft U.S. July jobs data. The main economic release this week will be U.S. consumer prices on Tuesday, with analysts expecting the impact of tariffs to help nudge the core up 0.3% to an annual pace of 3% and away from the Federal Reserve target of 2%. An upside surprise would challenge market wagers for a September rate cut, though analysts assume it would have to be a very high number given that a downward turn in payrolls is now dominating the outlook. It also comes at a complicated time for the Fed, with Trump having repeatedly criticised policymakers for not cutting rates at recent meetings, and with the focus on who will succeed current chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May. This, said Paul Mackel, Global Head of FX Research at HSBC, meant that the dollar's reaction to the CPI data would not be straightforward. If the figure indicated higher U.S. tariff price pressures, "that could support the stagflation narrative, and to the dollar's detriment", he said, adding this would also go against the view of some policymakers that tariffs were not causing prices to increase. "If, however, softer U.S. CPI readings materialise, including the core goods figures, this would likely challenge the dollar too by supporting the case for further Fed easing, and perhaps see greater criticism from the U.S. administration towards Fed Chair Powell." Markets imply around a 90% probability of a September easing, and at least one more cut by year-end. That has helped support Treasuries, and the U.S. benchmark 10-year yield was last at 4.27%, down around 1 basis point and hovering near last week's low of 4.187%. The prospect of lower borrowing costs has supported equities, along with a run of strong earnings, particularly from tech names. Analysts were unsure what to make of reports, including by Reuters, that Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenues from chip sales in China, under an arrangement to obtain export licences for the semiconductors. Shares of both companies were marginally lower in pre-market trading. CHINA EXPORTS DEFLATION Chinese blue chips added 0.4% after data showed consumer price inflation ticked up in July, but producer prices kept falling as the country's massive manufacturing sector exported deflation to the rest of the world. Figures on Chinese industrial output and retail sales for July are due on Friday, and forecasts are for a slight slowdown after a jump in the previous month. Currencies were quiet, with early trading thinned by a holiday in Japan. The euro was marginally softer at $1.1627 while the dollar inched up to 147.87 yen. The Australian dollar eased to $0.6510 ahead of a meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia, which is widely expected to back a rate cut. It stunned markets in July by skipping an easing of policy to await more inflation data. In commodity markets, gold fell 1.3% to $3,354 an ounce after wild swings last week on reports that the U.S. would slap 39% tariffs on some gold bars, which are major exports of Switzerland. The White House has said it planned to issue an executive order clarifying the country's stance. Oil prices stabilised as investors looked ahead to the talks between Trump and Putin in Alaska on Friday, with U.S. policy towards Russian oil exports in focus. Brent rose 0.6% to $66.99 a barrel, while U.S. crude gained 0.5% to $64.20. (Reporting by Wayne Cole in Sydney and Alun John in London; Editing by Sonali Paul, Gareth Jones and Alex Richardson)
