In the ongoing trade war between China and the United States, tensions are high as both countries impose tariffs and engage in intense rhetoric. The AI wars have also contributed to market volatility, with Chinese start-up DeepSeek claiming to rival top American chatbots. However, a report later debunked their claims, highlighting the importance of AI in the global economy.
