1. WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - The Biden administration plans to halt shipments to China of more advanced artificial intelligence chips designed by Nvidia and others, part of a raft of measures released on Tuesday that seek to stop Beijing from receiving cutting-edge U.S. technologies to strengthen its military.
The rules, which go into effect in 30 days, restrict a broader swathe of advanced chips and chipmaking tools to a greater number of countries including Iran and Russia, and blacklist Chinese chip designers Moore Threads and Biren.
The new measures close loopholes in regulations released last October and will probably be updated "at least annually," Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo told reporters late on Monday.
The goal is to limit China's access to "advanced semiconductors that could fuel breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and sophisticated computers that are critical to (Chinese) military applications," she said, stressing the administration was not seeking to hurt Beijing economically....

2. The following could be part of a long fictitious conversation between the leaders of the US and China in their upcoming meeting at San Francisco in November this year.
At the meeting, the US leader may assure his Chinese counterpart that his administration's crackdown on China’s chip industry is not aimed to hurt the Chinese economy.
The Chinese leader may respond with a bitter laugh: "Your so-called good intention in hobbling my country's chip industry is analogous to a psycho husband muttering to his wife 'I love you, I love you,' while performing his daily ritual of punching and kicking her till she rests in peace."
In response, the US leader may say: "Your husband-wife analogy is wholly inappropriate for men like us."
The Chinese leader may say: "Don't forget that same-sex marriage is officially legal in your country. Don't be a hypocrite claiming that your evil deeds against my country are a means to promote good bilateral relations. Such a glaring inconsistency is analogous to the hypocrisy of an unfaithful husband saying sweet words to his wife. It would be better for them to divorce at once rather than living such a miserable life altogether."
The US leader may respond: "There you go again. I strongly object to your use of the husband-wife analogy because both of us are men. Every time I hear that queer stuff from you, my whole body would feel very uncomfortable."
His Chinese counterpart may reply: "You view my analogy as queer. Such people in my analogy are generally called a queer couple having a queer union in India, but I would rather call them strange bedfellows."
