Episode Description:
War risk is back at February levels, and China just showed it can out-engineer US chip export controls.
US-Iran hostilities have escalated sharply, with two American soldiers killed and Iran ending its ceasefire memorandum. Simultaneously, China's WAIC conference revealed Huawei's chip-clustering strategy claims to outperform Nvidia's next-generation hardware despite export controls, while Chinese AI models now dominate global usage rankings. Today's episode connects both developments to what global investors should watch in Korean markets this week.
