## Resource

Today's episode examines China's latest escalation in its technology export control campaign: broadening restrictions on shipments to Japan, specifically targeting drone makers, nuclear firms, and defense research institutes. Lucas and Luna discuss what's driving this move—retaliation for Japan's semiconductor equipment export curbs, plus a message to the U.S. ahead of trade talks. They unpack the market reaction: iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) fell 5.5% in five days, Alibaba dropped nearly 10%, and Baidu lost over 6%. They also weigh the risk of a full-blown tech decoupling in Asia and what it means for investors in Chinese equities. No hot takes—just grounded analysis with specific data points from the latest headlines. #ChinaEconomy #ExportControls #JapanTrade #TechDecoupling #DroneTechnology #DefenseSector #NuclearEnergy #SemiconductorChips #Alibaba #Baidu #BATStocks #FXI #KWEB #AsiaMarkets #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #TradeWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
