Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:11:54 GMT

President Joe Biden on Wednesday will establish new rules limiting American investments in high-end Chinese technology sectors — a long-awaited effort meant to stop U.S. capital from financing Beijing’s military development.The move represents the first time the U.S. government has sought to impose broad investment rules on U.S. firms overseas — an escalation of the economic conflict with China that is likely to earn a sharp rebuke from Beijing. Until now, U.S. firms have largely been given free rein by Washington to develop business in other countries, except for limitations on a narrow list of military-related goods. But national security officials in both the Trump and Biden administrations have warned that U.S. investors have been financing Beijing’s military advancements by funding Chinese firms that turn around and give their technology to China’s military.The executive order, which will be implemented by the Treasury Department, will prohibit some investments in Chinese firms...

And it’s priced at $47, gargantuan even considering inflation. The octogenarian EGOT, who said she’s been jotting down notes since 2009, officially announced her autobiography in 2015.

Jack Flaherty grinds through first Camden Yards start, but Orioles’ bats, bullpen lacking in 8-2 loss to Astros

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:11:54 GMT

Jack Flaherty came to the Orioles at the trade deadline with the reputation of a competitor. Shintaro Fujinami arrived known for a dynamic repertoire but an inability to harness it consistently.Both of Baltimore’s pitching acquisitions showcased those traits in Wednesday’s 8-2 loss to the Houston Astros. In his Camden Yards debut, Flaherty battled through five innings, twice leaving the bases loaded after doing the same in the final frame of his team debut last week in Toronto. Fujinami, meanwhile, displayed the same erratic pitching that has plagued him in an up-and-down tenure with Baltimore, issuing three straight two-out walks in the eighth as the Astros broke open what had been a one-run game.The Orioles (70-44) were also quiet offensively, going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. Left fielder Austin Hays provided Baltimore’s lone jolts with a home run — his first since starting last month’s All-Star Game — for two runs in the fourth i...
