New U. S. regulation for China chip export hits U. S. chip makers, Pinduoduo launches U. S. shopping website, the IRS accidentally exposed confidential information of 120,000 taxpayers, and Micron, the chip manufacturer, announces $15 billion Idaho project.

The U. S. government issued a new regulation restricting the sale of artificial intelligence chips to China.
Chip makers must obtain a new license to address the risk of chips being “used in, or diverted to a ‘military end use’… in China and Russia.” The new regulation becomes effective immediately.
Major US chip makers Nvidia and AMD saw their shares slip after the announcement. The experts fear the new regulation would lead to a massive loss in revenue.

Fremont, California engineer Krishnan Iyer was picking up dinner on the evening of Aug. 21 at a local Taco Bell when a man randomly confronted him with a long anti-Hindu tirade.
“I was enveloped with a carnal fear,” Iyer told EMS partner news outlet India Currents. “I kept thinking, ‘how am I going to escape this situation and get back to my teenage son, who is at home alone?’ I had just gone in to pick up my food. I had done nothing to him.”
“I tried not to respond to him, but he continued,” said Iyer. As he turned to leave, the suspect followed him. “I thought I was going to get sucker-punched and killed; just another statistic,” said the avid cricket fan, who has lived in Fremont for more than 17 years. “I went and sat back down in a lighted area and continued to film the rant.”
Taco Bell workers watched the verbal assault, which continued for roughly 15 minutes before police arrived, but did not initially intervene, according to Iyer. A manager finally called police as the verbal assault continued.

As kids return to school this fall, parents have some homework to do: helping to keep their kids safe amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
With vaccines now available for children as young as six months, doctors and public health officials encourage parents to get their kids and themselves vaccinated and boosted when eligible. They say those who are unvaccinated are at greater risk for COVID-19.
Dr. Priya Soni, a Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, talked to Sunita Sohrabji and addressed some common concerns parents have about sending their children back to school.

Close to 15% of job openings that employ immigrant or foreign-born workers in the U.S. are still vacant, while the legal immigration system is in dire straits.
From meat packing to home building to STEM professionals to nurses, the post-pandemic economy is reeling from a labor force decimated by restrictive immigration policies, which worsened under Donald Trump’s administration.
“From the middle of 2019 until the end of 2021, there has been essentially zero net immigration to the U.S,” said Giovanni Peri, Ph.D. Professor of Economics and Founder and Director of the UC Davis Global Migration Center, citing US Bureau census data.

Since the start of the pandemic, anti-Asian hate crimes have been on the rise. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders became targets of physical and verbal attacks, causing them to feel unsafe and unwelcome in public spaces. AAPI businesses have also been targeted. As of August 2021, more than 9,000 anti-Asian incidents had been reported since the beginning of the pandemic, according to Stop AAPI Hate.
Ding Ding TV and Silicon Valley Community Media together with other AAPI and ethnic organizations and community partners organized numerous events to call on our community members to come together, demand systemic change, build bridges through understanding, and appreciate our differences.
Thanks to California State Library (CSL) and California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs (CAPIAA).
