NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a judge again Friday to throw out his hush money conviction, balking at the prosecution’s suggestion of preserving the verdict by treating the case the way some courts do when a defendant dies. They called the idea “absurd.” The Manhattan district attorney's office is asking Judge Juan M. Merchan to “pretend as if one of the assassination attempts against President Trump had been successful,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a blistering 23-page response. In court papers made public Tuesday, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books after Trump’s lawyers filed paperwork earlier this month asking for the case to be dismissed. They include freezing the case until Trump leaves office in 2029, agreeing that any future sentence won't include jail time, or closing the case by noting he was convicted but that he wasn't sentenced and his appeal wasn’t resolved because of presidential immunity. Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove reiterated Friday their position that the only acceptable option is overturning his conviction and dismissing his indictment, writing that anything less will interfere with the transition process and his ability to lead the country. The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. It’s unclear how soon Merchan will decide. He could grant Trump’s request for dismissal, go with one of the prosecution’s suggestions, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. In their response Friday, Blanche and Bove ripped each of the prosecution’s suggestions. Halting the case until Trump leaves office would force the incoming president to govern while facing the “ongoing threat” that he’ll be sentenced to imprisonment, fines or other punishment as soon as his term ends, Blanche and Bove wrote. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. “To be clear, President Trump will never deviate from the public interest in response to these thuggish tactics,” the defense lawyers wrote. “However, the threat itself is unconstitutional.” The prosecution’s suggestion that Merchan could mitigate those concerns by promising not to sentence Trump to jail time on presidential immunity grounds is also a non-starter, Blanche and Bove wrote. The immunity statute requires dropping the case, not merely limiting sentencing options, they argued. Blanche and Bove, both of whom Trump has tabbed for high-ranking Justice Department positions, expressed outrage at the prosecution’s novel suggestion that Merchan borrow from Alabama and other states and treat the case as if Trump had died. Blanche and Bove accused prosecutors of ignoring New York precedent and attempting to “fabricate” a solution “based on an extremely troubling and irresponsible analogy between President Trump" who survived assassination attempts in Pennsylvania in July and Florida in September “and a hypothetical dead defendant.” Such an option normally comes into play when a defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether it is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Merchan could innovate in what’s already a unique case. “This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding,” prosecutors wrote in their filing this week. But at the same time, it wouldn’t “precipitously discard” the “meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers.” Prosecutors acknowledged that “presidential immunity requires accommodation” during Trump’s impending return to the White House but argued that his election to a second term should not upend the jury’s verdict, which came when he was out of office. Longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution . Other world leaders don’t enjoy the same protection. For example, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on trial on corruption charges even as he leads that nation’s wars in Lebanon and Gaza . Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his May 30 conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records . Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier, which Trump denies. In their filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers citing a social media post in which Sen. John Fetterman used profane language to criticize Trump’s hush money prosecution. The Pennsylvania Democrat suggested that Trump deserved a pardon, comparing his case to that of President Joe Biden’s pardoned son Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division,” Fetterman wrote Wednesday on Truth Social. Trump’s hush money conviction was in state court, meaning a presidential pardon — issued by Biden or himself when he takes office — would not apply to the case. Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith has ended his two federal cases , which pertained to Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in all. Trump had been scheduled for sentencing in the hush money case in late November. But following Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president’s sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump’s conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office.Black Friday may be over but there are still some great tablet deals to grab before they sell out - and I've rounded up the bestd jakosalem 。

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday as Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag and were met by Buckeyes who confronted them. Police had to use pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game. Ohio State police said in a statement “multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray.” Ohio State police will investigate the fight, according to the statement. After the Ohio State players confronted their bitter rivals at midfield, defensive end Jack Sawyer grabbed the top of the Wolverines' flag and ripped it off the pole as the brawl moved toward the Michigan bench. Eventually, police officers rushed into the ugly scene. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said he understood the actions of his players. “There are some prideful guys on our team who weren't going to sit back and let that happen,” Day said. The two Ohio State players made available after the game brushed off questions about it. Michigan running back Kalel Mullings, who rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown, didn't like how the Buckeyes players involved themselves in the Wolverines' postgame celebration. He called it “classless.” “For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game," he said in an on-field interview with Fox Sports. “It’s just bad for the sport, bad for college football. But at the end of the day, you know some people got to — they got to learn how to lose, man. ... We had 60 minutes, we had four quarters, to do all that fighting.” Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said everybody needs to do better. “So much emotions on both sides," he said. "Rivalry games get heated, especially this one. It’s the biggest one in the country, so we got to handle that better.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

The deluge of layoffs of 2023 continued into 2024 , with studios being shut down and publishers like Sony and Microsoft shedding hundreds of jobs or more. While the gaming business continues to be risky — especially after the pandemic lockdown boom cooled — many critically acclaimed games big and small hit consoles, PCs and mobile. Some of them, including Astro Bo t and Balatro , were celebrated at The Game Awards in Los Angeles last night. (The CBC is a member on its jury that helps vote for the winners .) Here are the best titles of 2024, as chosen by CBC gaming enthusiasts. Animal Well Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Explore a dense, interconnected labyrinth and unravel its many secrets in Animal Well. (Shared Memory/Bigmode) Animal Well is a 2D puzzle platformer where you control a tiny bouncing blob with eyes thrown into a mazelike world that evokes classic games like Metroid . It was lovingly crafted by a single developer, Billy Basso, over seven years. He created the beautiful art style, the music and, most importantly, the seemingly endless layers of puzzles sure to delight and confound you. This well goes much, much deeper than it first lets on. Many of the puzzles don't have one set way to solve them. Instead, the game gives you a suite of tools and leaves you to figure out how to use them to overcome what's in front of you. It leads to moments where you feel like you've outsmarted the creator — an extremely satisfying and hard-to-pull-off design accomplishment. — Sean Trembath Astro Bot PlayStation 5 Almost no one makes 3D run-and-jump video games anymore, but Team Asobi's latest proves that Nintendo isn't the only one who can pull it off. The ingenious level designs flip expectations on your head as your chibi robot rockets across pits with a dog-slash-rocket pack, or shrinks to the size of an ant to view the world through a microscope. It's also a love letter to the history of PlayStation, with hundreds of Funko Pop-like representations of past characters. While it makes me want more actual follow-ups to Ape Escape or Jumping Flash , Astro Bot — this year's game of the year at the Game Awards — is a breath of fresh air. — Jonathan Ore Balatro Switch, PlayStation 5, PC, Mobile Balatro , a solitaire-like game with poker elements, appears deceptively simple at first: create poker hands out of a selection of cards to score points in the form of chips with increasingly large blinds. The genius of Canadian indie designer LocalThunk's game comes in the hundreds of modifiers that can inflate and multiply your score, as special versions of playing cards, enchanted tarot cards and joker cards starring a creepy clown named Jimbo enter the fray. Before long, you're concocting multilayered schemes to score millions of points in one round, as real-time hours evaporate into the void. That secret sauce earned Balatro three Game awards, including best debut indie game. — Jonathan Ore Dragon Age: The Veilguard PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest game in the series by Edmonton-based Bioware. The last instalment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, came out nearly 10 years ago. (Bioware/Electronic Arts) The veil holding magic and demons at bay is at threat of being torn down. In steps Rook, our unlikely hero, to unite factions and uncover secrets and prevent a penitent Elven god from wreaking havoc on the world. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a fresh-faced revival for the decades-old franchise beloved by fantasy RPG players everywhere. Where older games were complicated and clunky, Veilguard streamlines and simplifies, while still crafting a compellingly rich cast of characters. With callbacks to old storylines and plenty of opportunities to learn the lore, this game will satisfy long-time fans and total newbs. — Danielle McCreadie Shift - NB 8:14 Gaming with Dani: Game Awards Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PlayStation 5 Classic locations, like Cloud's hometown of Nibelheim, are recreated with an astounding level of detail (and high resolution) in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. (Square-Enix) Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes on the impossible task of revisiting and recontextualizing the most infamous character death in video game history. Square-Enix's retelling of the seminal 1997 role-playing game stumbles in spots, as it blows up quiet moments into bombastic set pieces more often than needed. But that doesn't get in the way of the dozens of hours you'll spend exploring the vibrant landscapes along the way, while encountering fantastical monsters and charming supporting characters. The new side stories featuring Cloud and his mercenaries will bring a smile to any fan's face. Sometimes it all comes down to saving a neighbour's dog, set to the nostalgia-tugging tunes that won best score and music at the Game Awards. — Jonathan Ore REVIEW Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revives a classic series with swashbuckling success Metaphor ReFantazio PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, PC Have you ever wanted to become king or queen? Metaphor gives you a window into a fantasy world where anyone can be royalty, as long as you win the people's hearts in a tournament for the ages. This turn-based RPG from the makers of the Persona series reinvents the genre by offering a mix of real-time action and turn-based combat. Where it really shines, though, is the incredible narrative it weaves, sold by its extremely talented voice actors in a heartfelt story with twists and turns aplenty. It's a game you'll be thinking about long after the credits roll — it earned three Game awards, including best narrative and art direction. — Ryan Turford Mouthwashing PC Mouthwashing is a narrative-driven first-person horror game following the dying crew of a shipwrecked space freighter. (Wrong Organ) Mouthwashing is a strange experience, set on an interstellar delivery ship that is weeks away from a crash landing. The game follows the former and current captains and their crew, who are trying to make the best of their doomed voyage. Each sequence shows the crew getting more and more unhinged, as it becomes clear there's no escaping their fate. The gameplay is straightforward: you solve puzzles, escape looming, hallucinatory creatures, and talk to your shipmates. Yet whether it's the giant text shrieking "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" or the way the story slips between reality and dreams, developer Wrong Organ has figured out how to make sure its style and substance sing together. — Arman Aghbali Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, PC Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revives the classic game series with a return to the two-dimensional point of view, and takes design inspiration from games like Metroid and Castlevania. (Ubisoft Montpellier) If you've never played a Prince of Persia game before, here's the gist: some mystery, some crossed swords, some time travel. What makes The Lost Crown special is that it can make you feel invincible — if you respect every parry, every jump and how many health potions you have. A classic platformer role-playing game with a huge map designed for unravelling and revisiting, The Lost Crown throws you into the story and action, with strong voice acting and satisfying combat. Plan to spend hours executing the perfect leaps and spins to get all the hidden secrets. — Anand Ram Review Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a glorious, messy retelling of one of gaming's greatest stories The Rise of the Golden Idol Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, Mobile (via Netflix) Players must unravel mysteries like murder scenes or prison escapes in The Rise of the Golden Idol. (Color Gray Games/Playstack) The sequel to 2022's The Case of the Golden Idol continues Color Gray Games' reinvention of the classic point-and-click adventure game genre with a series of delicious murder mysteries set in the 1970s. Every level is a snapshot in time that depicts a tense scene, be it the moment a scientist spontaneously bursts into flames or the moment a couple discovers a fresh corpse in the snow. Players will find themselves staring at a scene for half-hours at a time, wondering if they've missed a critical clue. But once the story fully reveals itself, you'll feel like the world's greatest detective. — Jonathan Ore Silent Hill 2 PlayStation 5, PC Konami's psychological horror classic Silent Hill 2 was remade with modern visuals and mechanics in 2024, led by the studio Bloober Team. (Bloober Team/Konami) James Sunderland receives a letter from his wife, Mary, that claims she's waiting for him in a town called Silent Hill. The only problem? Mary died three years ago. Delightfully terrifying, this remake of the 2001 classic uses 3D audio and visual design to limit the player's vision and evoke an overall sense of dread. It balances simple yet effective combat and an array of unique puzzles with options to adjust the difficulty of each separately. For fans of the series, there are many Easter eggs all through the town that gesture toward the original. While the eerie atmosphere of the game almost never let me feel safe, unravelling the mystery and learning more about James and Mary's relationship was enough to pull me back in time, again and again. — Natasha Ramoutar Tactical Breach Wizards PC Tactical Breach Wizards mixes sci-fi, fantasy and quirky humour to form a tactical role-playing game that's earned praise for its accessible take on the genre. (Suspicious Developments) This game puts you in command of a crack spec ops squad — except your crew features a wannabe detective-witch who can chain lightning between enemies and a "necro-medic" who resurrects her allies by shooting them in the head with a revolver. While other tactics games can be unforgiving, Tactical Breach Wizards lets you rewind your turn over and over again until you get something that resembles perfection. It makes you feel like a genius, and the typically English humour of creator Tom Francis shines throughout this surprisingly poignant world-spanning story. — Akshay Kulkarni Thank Goodness You're Here Switch, PlayStation 4/5, PC, MacOS Explore an off-kilter northern English town called Barnsworth in the comedy game Thank Goodness You're Here! (Coal Supper/Panic) Comedy is a tricky subject in video games, as the need for perfect timing is complicated by the player's control potentially throwing everything off. TGYH fixes this by making the entire game a big box of jokes. You play a repairman — who's as tall as a pint glass with a lemon for a head — in the fictional northern English town of Barnsworth helping out residents with odd jobs. Humour varies wildly from dry British wit to absurdist gross-out gags, sort of like a cross between Black Adder and Rocko's Modern Life . Where most games elicit a chuckle at best, TGYH regularly summons raucous belly laughs. It's the funniest video game in years. — Jonathan Ore

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, Tencent Holdings Limited, listed as HKG: 0700 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has consistently stood at the forefront of innovation. As we venture further into 2023, Tencent is poised to revolutionize the gaming industry in ways previously unimaginable. Tencent, already recognized as a global gaming giant with titles like “League of Legends” and “PUBG Mobile,” is now investing heavily in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and cloud gaming. This strategic pivot could reshape how games are developed and played. AI technology permits developers to create more immersive and responsive game environments, providing players with unique narratives and interactions tailored to their gameplay style. Meanwhile, VR technology promises to blur the lines between reality and the virtual, crafting worlds where players are more than mere spectators—they become part of an expansive, vivid universe. But the true game-changer might be Tencent’s commitment to cloud gaming. With this technology, players can enjoy high-performance gaming experiences without the need for expensive hardware, as games are streamed directly from powerful remote servers. This model not only caters to a broader audience but also paves the way for more complex and graphically demanding games. As Tencent continues its tech-laden march, HKG: 0700 may just be the ticket to the next chapter in gaming history, where immersive, accessible, and personalized gaming experiences become the norm. Tencent’s 2023 Gaming Revolution: The Rise of AI, VR, and Cloud Gaming In the intricate tapestry of technological advancements, Tencent Holdings Limited stands as a monumental pillar of innovation, pushing the boundaries of the gaming industry to new horizons. As we delve deeper into 2023, Tencent’s focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and cloud gaming not only marks a strategic evolution but also spells a potential renaissance in how we experience digital entertainment. AI: Crafting Personalized Gaming Journeys Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword; it is a transformative force that is redesigning the gaming landscape. Tencent’s investment in AI technology allows for the creation of games with adaptive narratives. This adaptability means that each player encounters a unique gaming journey, where in-game scenarios are dynamically adjusted based on the player’s actions and preferences. The result is an unprecedented level of personalization, turning players into co-authors of their digital adventures. VR: Entering Alternate Realities The realm of Virtual Reality pushes the envelope further by providing an immersive experience where the line between the game and the world as we know it is virtually erased. Tencent’s foray into VR technology is anticipated to lead to a new breed of games that transcend conventional two-dimensional screens, offering spatial interactions and environments. Players don’t just watch or control—they exist within these newly crafted universes, making the experience profoundly engaging and interactive. Cloud Gaming: Redefining Accessibility and Performance At the heart of Tencent’s innovative pursuit is its investment in cloud gaming infrastructure . Unlike traditional gaming models that rely heavily on user hardware, cloud gaming leverages powerful remote servers to stream games. This model democratizes access to high-quality gaming, allowing players with varying financial capacities to enjoy the same top-tier gaming experiences. By removing the hardware barrier, Tencent not only expands its reach to a wider audience but also sets the stage for games that are richer in detail and complexity. Looking Ahead: Trends and Predictions As these technologies mature, several trends and predictions underscore the future of gaming: 1. Rise of Subscription Models : Given the shift towards cloud gaming, subscription models akin to Netflix are expected to become prevalent in the gaming industry. 2. Enhanced Multiplayer Experience : With AI and cloud capabilities, expect multiplayer experiences to be more interactive, with real-time data processing enriching competitive aspects. 3. Sustainability : Leveraging cloud technologies could lead to reduced reliance on physical hardware, supporting a more eco-friendly gaming ecosystem. Conclusion With its strategic investments, Tencent is not just participating in the evolving gaming landscape; it is reshaping it. AI, VR, and cloud gaming are not standalone innovations but part of a convergent ecosystem set to redefine what gaming is and what it can become. The implications extend beyond entertainment, offering new paradigms in interactivity and accessibility that will likely influence future technological trends across industries.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? BOONE, N.C. (AP) — South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has been hired as head coach at Appalachian State and will receive a five-year contract, athletic director Doug Gillin announced Saturday. The 44-year-old Loggains replaces Shawn Clark, who was fired Monday after the Mountaineers finished 5-6 for their first losing season since 2013. Loggains was South Carolina’s offensive coordinator for two seasons and an assistant at Arkansas, his alma mater, for two seasons before that. He spent 16 years in the NFL as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Tennessee, Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and the New York Jets. “He brings experience as a leader and play-caller at the highest levels of professional and college football,” Gillin said. “He is a great recruiter and believes strongly in building relationships. He is aligned with our core values of academic integrity, competitive excellence, social responsibility and world-class experience. This is a great day for App State.” Loggains’ offense at South Carolina featured LaNorris Sellers, one of the nation’s top dual-threat quarterbacks, and running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders. Sellers and Sanders led the Southeastern Conference’s third-ranked rushing offense. Loggains spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons as Arkansas’ tight ends coach, and he worked with Sam Darnold, Jay Cutler, Mitchell Trubisky, Brian Hoyer and Vince Young during his time in the NFL. The Mountaineers, the preseason favorites in the Sun Belt Conference’s East Division, tied for fifth with a 3-5 record in league play. App State was 40-24 under Clark, but the Mountaineers have failed to reach a bowl game two of the past three seasons.

Given the slowing in the national economy and rising global uncertainty, it’s a positive signal that the state’s generally expansionary trend has been mostly sustained. The Perryman Group’s latest long-term forecast indicates that Texas is likely to continue to generate a substantial portion of the nation’s overall growth. There are certainly obstacles, but favorable patterns include demographics, energy, and emerging industries. Population growth is stalling in many areas, contributing to ongoing workforce shortages, but is increasing in Texas due in part to in-migration from other states and countries (a phenomenon which is diminishing modestly in recent data). Numerous studies indicate that many of the individuals migrating to Texas are in prime working age ranges, with a substantial number of them possessing in-demand skills and training. These new residents are facilitating economic growth and generating opportunities which, in turn, can contribute to additional inflows. The state’s younger population is also a positive factor. Texas oil and gas is crucial to meeting US and global needs. The state’s production helps ensure energy security for the United States and our allies, particularly in times of geopolitical uncertainty. Simultaneously, this industry generates jobs and investment throughout the state. Forecasts from major public- and private-sector entities (including our projections) indicate that oil and gas will be crucial to meeting growing energy demand over a long-term horizon, and will continue to be an important aspect of the state’s economy. Texas is also a leader in many other forms of our diverse energy future, including wind, solar, and hydrogen (among others). Texas is experiencing notable expansion in several industry groups which will enhance the long-term prospects for the state economy. In particular, the emergence of life sciences industries, investment banking and securities, and various aspects of technology (such as microchips, AI, data centers, and crypto mining) are spurring impressive gains in business activity. The state also faces daunting challenges which will materially affect ultimate outcomes. A growing population and economy will require additional water, roadways, electricity (both generation and transmission), and investments in education (among other things). A critical imperative is ensuring that young people are provided with excellent learning opportunities. Texas is better positioned than many areas, but only if students are adequately prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. The Perryman Group’s current long-term forecast indicates Texas should see economic growth at a faster pace than the nation. We’re projecting 1.64% annual employment growth through 2053, representing a gain of 9.1 million jobs. Business fluctuations are inevitable, but the economic outlook is decidedly positive, with numerous diverse sources contributing to ongoing expansion.

Michigan, Ohio State fight broken up with police pepper spray after Wolverines stun Buckeyes 13-10Recent comments from Elon Musk have suggested that xAI will soon be releasing a dedicated app for its large language model (LLM), Grok, which is currently deployed on social media platform X. A standalone app could help Grok reach more users beyond X. Elon Musk’s xAI may be a newcomer to the artificial intelligence segment, but its influence has grown significantly in the previous months. A huge part of xAI’s growing prominence is due to Grok, since the large language model has real-time access to data on X posts . Grok, however, is fully tied to X’s ecosystem for now. These concerns were recently voiced on X, with Grok users noting that a standalone app would be beneficial for the large language model’s user experience. As noted by user @battleangelviv , Grok’s current setup still has room for improvement since some users who wish to use the large language model may easily get distracted by their X feed. Coming soon Elon Musk responded with a quick “Coming soon,” suggesting that xAI is working on a standalone Grok app. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s comment was received positively by X users, several of whom noted that Grok could potentially even work as a capable search engine alternative once it is shipped as a standalone service. Today, Grok simply feels like an extra feature that is bundled with an X Premium subscription. While this is true, it does temper down the significance of Grok to users. Packaging the large language model as a standalone solution that rivals OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude AI, and Google’s Gemini could potentially make Grok a more mainstream LLM option.

How This Australian Social Media Ban Might Have Major Ripple EffectsChina has banned exports of key materials used to make a wide range of products, including smartphones, electric vehicles, radar systems and CT scanners, swiping back at Washington after it expanded export controls to include dozens of Chinese companies that make equipment used to produce advanced computer chips. Both sides say their controls are justified by national security concerns and both accuse the other of “weaponizing” trade. Analysts say the latest restrictions could have a wide impact on manufacturing in many industries and supply chains. “Critical mineral security is now intrinsically linked to the escalating tech trade war,” Gracelin Baskaran and Meredith Schwartz of the Center for Strategic International Studies, wrote in a report on Beijing's decision. The full impact will depend partly on whether U.S. industries can compensate for any loss of access to the strategically important materials, equipment and components. Here’s why this could be a tipping point in trade conflict between the two biggest economies, coming at a time when antagonisms already were expected to heat up once President-elect Donald Trump takes office, given his vows to hike tariffs on imports of Chinese-made products. China has banned, in principle, exports to the United States of gallium, germanium and antimony — critical minerals needed to make advanced semiconductors, among many other types of equipment. Beijing also tightened controls on exports of graphite, which is used in EV and grid-storage batteries. China is the largest source for most of these materials and also dominates refining of those materials, which are used both for consumer goods and for military purposes. The limits announced Tuesday also include exports of super-hard materials, such as diamonds and other synthetic materials that are not compressible and extremely dense. They are used in many industrial areas such as cutting tools, disc brakes and protective coatings. Next on the list of potential bans, experts say: tungsten, magnesium and aluminum alloys. The Chinese Commerce Ministry announced its measures after the U.S. government ordered a slew of new measures meant to prevent sales to China of certain types of advanced semiconductors and the tools and software needed to make them. Washington also expanded its “entity list” of companies facing strict export controls to include 140 more companies, nearly all of them based in China or Chinese-owned. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the revised rules were intended to impair China’s ability to use advanced technologies that “pose a risk to our national security.” The updated regulations also limit exports to China of high-bandwidth memory chips that are needed to process massive amounts of data in advanced applications such as artificial intelligence. Export licenses will likely be denied for any U.S. company trying to do business with the 140 companies newly added to the “entity list,” as well as the dozens of others already on the list. The aim, officials said, is to stop Chinese companies from leveraging U.S. technology to make their own semiconductors. The Biden administration has been expanding the number of companies affected by such export controls while encouraging an expansion of investments in and manufacturing of semiconductors in the U.S. and other Western countries. Washington also extended the restrictions on exports of advanced semiconductor technology to companies in other countries, though it excluded companies in key allies like Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands that are thought to have adequate export controls of their own. In a word: very. For the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other producers of advanced technology and components, access to materials with such properties as high conductivity is crucial: gallium and germanium increasingly are used in advanced semiconductors in place of silicon. The materials subject to Chinese export controls are among 50 the United States Geologic Survey has designated as “critical minerals” — non-fuel minerals essential to U.S. economic or national security that have supply chains vulnerable to disruption. Gallium topped that list. It is needed to make the same high-bandwidth memory chips the U.S. wants to avoid allowing China to access for use in artificial intelligence and defense applications. It's used to make LEDs, lasers and magnets used in many products. Germanium is used for optical fiber and solar panels, among other uses. A USGS study recently estimated the likely total cost to the U.S. economy from disruptions to supplies of gallium and germanium alone at more than $3 billion. But the situation is complicated. China imposed licensing requirements on exports of both metals in July 2023. It has not exported either to the U.S. this year, according to Chinese customs data. Antimony exports also have plunged. China produces the lion's share of most critical minerals, but there are alternatives. Japan also imports nearly all of its gallium, for example, but it also extracts it by recycling scrap metal. Washington has been moving to tap sources other than China, forming a "Minerals Security Partnership" with the EU and 15 other countries. President Joe Biden's visit to Africa this week highlighted that effort. Potential supply disruptions also have spurred efforts to tap U.S. deposits of rare earths and other critical materials in southeastern Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Minnesota and parts of the American Southwest. Germanium has been extracted from zinc mined in Alaska and Tennessee and the U.S. government has a stockpile. The Department of Defense has a recycling program that can extract scrap germanium from night vision lenses and tank turret windows. But China's dominance as a supplier gives it an overwhelming cost advantage, and U.S. resource companies face strong pressures over the potential environmental impact of mines and refineries. Since then-President Trump launched a trade war against Beijing that has ramped up over time, China has adopted a relatively constrained and cautious approach in responding to the U.S. limits on access to advanced technology. Much depends on the future course of overall relations. It is unclear if Trump will follow through on his vows to push tariffs sharply higher once he takes office or if such declarations are the opening gambits in future trade negotiations. China hit back with its own tariff hikes, but excluded many items crucial for its own economy. It sanctioned certain companies, especially defense contractors doing business with Taiwan, but refrained from outright bans on exports of vital materials to the U.S. This time may be different. Just after China's Commerce Ministry announced its export ban, various Chinese industry associations including automakers and the China Semiconductor Association issued statements denouncing Washington's moves to curb access to strategically sensitive technologies and declaring that U.S. computer chips are unreliable. Beijing's announcement also extends its ban on exporting Chinese-produced gallium and other critical minerals to the U.S. to apply to all countries, entities and individuals, saying violators will “be held accountable according to law.”Yankees get closer Devin Williams from Brewers for Nestor Cortes, Caleb Durbin
