The US-China relationship
Sources: US wants to exclude China from cloud services
The US government plans to restrict Chinese companies' access to US cloud services that use AI. This is stated by sources with access to the Wall Street Journal.
According to the newspaper, the measure will mean that large suppliers such as Amazon and Microsoft will be forced to seek permission from the state before providing cloud services to Chinese companies.
The move risks further straining the relationship between the economic superpowers, according to the sources. The mood was stirred on Monday when Beijing announced that the country will impose export restrictions on a pair of rare minerals that are crucial in the manufacture of semiconductors.

Right-wing populists use the riots in the migrant debate: "Quite successfully"
Many right-wing populist parties in Europe are using the riots in France as an example of why tougher measures are needed against migration in Europe, writes Politico.
Among these politicians is Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who has pointed to the riots as a reason to reject the EU's migrant pact. The Italian Lega Nord politician Nicola Molteni has also spoken out about the riots and calls the events a "warning to Europe".
- This confirms that the uncontrolled migration has failed, he says.
Hans Kundnani, Europe analyst at Chatham House, says reactions like these are "exactly what you'd expect".
- Since the refugee crisis in 2015, right-wing extremists have used events like these to demand tougher measures, something that has been quite successful, he says.
