Episode notes

The world's top chip equipment suppliers have stopped doing business with China. It's in response to new US rules that came out last week. The restrictions are trying to stop China from developing advanced semiconductor technologies. Yuan Yang describes this round of sanctions as very severe.

Investors shrugged off another high US inflation report and Liz Truss could be about to rip up her ‘mini’ Budget. New US export controls force global semiconductor equipment makers to suspend sales and services to Chinese chip companies.
