Chinese AI companies wanting high-performance artificial intelligence chips from Nvidia are facing a dilemma: source them from the black market at much higher prices, or accept lower performance domestic alternatives from the likes of Huawei Technologies. That is because Chinese customs officials are currently holding Nvidia’s H200 chips at the border, despite Washington granting approval for the US company to ship its second most advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) to China, according to...

Fabrice Coffrini | Afp | Getty Images Top business leaders this week delivered an expletive-laden plea in defense of climate action , describing the backlash to Europe's green transition as an "aberration." In an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Allianz CEO Oliver Bäte said he disagreed with the suggestion that it may just be a matter of time before net zero is dismissed in Europe, saying short-term thinking on this issue is "bulls---." Asked about political leaders backtracking on their much-vaunted European Green New Deal and Norway's oil fund reportedly defending a push from companies to water down their climate goals, Bäte said anyone who has children "will have to worry" about the planet's future. "It's an aberration that short-term people are saying that," Bäte told CNBC's " Squawk Box Europe " on Tuesday. "I think it's about doing it intelligently. And by the way, the role model here is China , they are going to be the leader both in terms of renewable and cost of energy." The CEO of Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, said it was integral for business and political leaders to stay the course on necessary energy transition targets. "This is what we do in Allianz, we said 2050 is net zero. Let's not try to say, 'ah I need to do it already by 2035' — bulls---. Excuse my language on TV," Bäte said. "We have, in our company, reduced energy consumption for us by more than 40%. It can be done, but let's not make it a religion. Make it a target and then keep focusing on it," he added. watch now VIDEO 3:46 03:46 Trying to look through the noise for the signal: Allianz CEO Davos 2026: World Economic Forum His comments come amid concerns that businesses are increasingly shying away from climate action...
