China weighs tighter export controls on AI models and chips, according to FT.

China's potential move to tighten export controls on AI models and chips signals an escalation in trade tensions, which could impact global supply chains and technology sectors. This could particularly affect companies reliant on Chinese technology and may lead to increased volatility in tech stocks, commodities, and currencies associated with the region.
