In a bizarre and gruesome blend of medical belief and extreme filial devotion, many people throughout Chinese history cut flesh from their own thighs to heal sick relatives. The custom later evolved into a government-endorsed trend, turning the practice into a path to social mobility and marital success. Ge gu liao qin, which literally means “cutting one’s own flesh to heal a parent”, refers to an ancient practice in which a child would cut flesh from their own thigh to use as medicine to treat a parent’s illness, as an extreme expression of traditional filial piety.

A painting depicts what such an act of extreme filial piety may have looked like in ancient times. Photo: Handout Before the advent of antibiotics, many illnesses could become death sentences.

Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Intel stock at a glance Intel (INTC) is back in focus for many investors as its shares trade around $43.10, with mixed recent returns that include a small gain year to date but declines over the past month. See our latest analysis for Intel. The recent 1 day share price return of a 5.27% decline and 7 day share price return of a 6.55% decline sit against a year to date share price return of 9.45%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 102.06% highlights how much sentiment has shifted over the past year even as shorter term momentum has faded. If Intel's recent swings have you thinking about where semiconductor related trends could head next, it might be worth scanning 34 AI infrastructure stocks as a way to uncover other chip and AI infrastructure names on your radar. With Intel shares around $43.10, a 9.45% gain year to date and a 1 year total return just over 100%, the real question now is whether today’s price leaves upside on the table or if the market is already paying up for future growth. Most Popular Narrative: 18% Overvalued Intel's last close at $43.10 sits above a fair value of $36.54 implied by the most followed narrative, which applies a specific growth and discount framework to the stock. Transition and Investment Phase: Intel is in the middle of major restructuring and technological transitions, such as moving toward 7nm and beyond for its chips and investing in foundry services. These changes take time to bear fruit, and while they may suppress short-term earnings, they could lead to long-term growth. Read the complete narrative. Curious how a company with current losses still lands at that fair value number? The narrative leans heavily on future revenue progress, improving margins and a richer earnings multiple once profitability returns, all baked into a single set of forward looking assumptions.

By Rachel More BERLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - Germany's top industrial union is fighting for more influence at Tesla's gigafactory outside Berlin, where staff are voting for a new works council after a campaign marked by mud-slinging and legal challenges. Voting began on Monday at Tesla's Gruenheide plant, the U.S. electric car maker's only European production site, with results expected later Wednesday. The current council is dominated by non-union members. The IG Metall union is fielding 116 candidates in a bid to win a simple majority - 19 of 37 seats. The union secured 16 in the last election two years ago, when the council had 39 seats. IG Metall has accused management of stoking anti-union sentiment. Plant director Andre Thierig has countered that the union is focused solely on boosting IG Metall membership. "We are very satisfied with our election campaign. We are running with a great team and our issues are clearly striking a chord with our colleagues," IG Metall's lead candidate Laura Arndt said in a statement to Reuters. Works councils, elected by staff, are a cornerstone of German labour relations, representing employees in talks with management. IG Metall dominates councils across German carmakers - including Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes - but remains the underdog at Tesla, whose CEO Elon Musk is outspoken in his criticism of unions. Tensions peaked in February when Tesla accused an IG Metall trade unionist of secretly filming a works council meeting and filed a criminal complaint. IG Metall dismissed the allegation as a "calculated lie". (Reporting by Rachel More and Christina Amann. Editing by Mark Potter)

(RTTNews) - Nidec Corp. (NJDCY, 6594.T), a Japanese manufacturer of electric motors, announced that it expects to record around 250 billion yen in impairment charges after an investigation found significant accounting misconduct, primarily in connection with the automotive business. Separately, the company said its Board resolved not to pay a dividend from surplus (year-end dividend) with a record date of March 31, 2026, following the findings of inappropriate accounting treatment. In Japan, the shares were gaining around 7.7%, trading at 2,440.00 yen. In a statement, the company noted that the impact on its consolidated net assets as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, as provisionally calculated by the Third-Party Committee, is approximately negative 139.7 billion yen. In addition to the impact amount, the company noted that there is a possibility that additional impairment losses on goodwill and fixed assets may need to be recognized in connection with the corrections to past fiscal years' financial statements. Further, for the third quarter ended December 31, the company reported preliminary net sales of 6.777 billion yen, up 3.9 percent from 6.522 billion yen a year ago. The company noted that numerous instances of accounting misconduct have been identified across a wide range of locations within the Group. Following the report, Chairman Hiroshi Kobe and certain other officials have been resigned, while First Senior Vice President Valter Taranzano has been suspended from duty. Nidec's founder Shigenobu Nagamori last week had relinquished his post as chairman emeritus. Nagamori, who remains Nidec's largest individual shareholder, had left the board in December. The investigation by the Third-Party Committee and other internal investigations into suspected improper accounting practices are ongoing. Meanwhile, Nikkei reported that the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission is planning to investigate Nidec, including whether additional pay...

Equities in the United Arab Emirates tumbled as trading resumed on Wednesday, following a two-day closure aimed at protecting the Gulf state’s key markets amid the US-Israeli attacks on Iran. The Dubai Financial Market General Index dropped as much as 4.7% in early trading, with Emirates NBD Bank PJSC and Emaar Properties PJSC leading the declines. Abu Dhabi’s FTSE ADX General Index fell 2.9%. The UAE Capital Market Authority had temporarily closed the Dubai Financial Market and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange on March 2 and March 3, as both emirates faced hundreds of missiles and drone attacks from Iran, which has been responding to an onslaught from the US and Israel that began Saturday. In a Tuesday statement, the UAE regulator said that trading would resume on Wednesday. Dubai’s stock exchange said it is implementing a “temporary adjustment limit down threshold” of 5%. The UAE has sought to repel dozens of projectiles fired by Iran as the conflict threatens to upend the emirates’ carefully cultivated image as a haven of calm in an often volatile region. Equities in Dubai, the Middle East’s financial hub, soared to a 2006 high earlier in February as investors bet on its resilient economy. Before that, its main benchmark had seen a blistering 300% rally that started almost six years ago, powered by growing consumption, a property boom and expanding financial services. Stocks in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which have also been attacked by Iran, dropped this week. Riyadh-listed shares , however, have started to recoup some losses as oil prices soar due to impeded supply in the region amid the war.
