Chinese AI Companies Dodge U.S. Chip Curbs by Flying Suitcases of Hard Drives Abroad
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—In early March, four Chinese engineers flew to Malaysia from Beijing, each carrying a suitcase packed with 15 hard drives. The drives contained 80 terabytes of spreadsheets, images and video clips for training an artificial-intelligence model. At a Malaysian data center, the engineers' employer had rented about 300 servers containing advanced Nvidia chips. The engineers fed the data into the servers, planning to build the AI model and bring it back home.

Chinese official discusses security with delegation from Pakistan's Balochistan
BEIJING: China's Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Liu Bin met with a delegation from Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan on Monday, according to a ministry statement. The two sides exchanged views on issues including security and cooperation between China and the province. Chinese nationals have been in the crosshairs of separatist militants who believe Beijing is helping Pakistan exploit minerals in the underdeveloped province of Balochistan, where China has a strategic port and mining interests. Beijing has been pushing Pakistan to allow its own security staff to provide protection to thousands of Chinese citizens working there, frustrated by the string of attacks on its citizens. The push came after a bombing at the Karachi airport last October killed two Chinese engineers who were returning there to work at a power plant.
