Fresh out of the studio, Jing Yang, Asia Bureau Chief at The Information, joins us to explore how China is building frontier AI under chip constraints, state capital, and open source ambition. Jing breaks down her scoop on DeepSeek's $7.4 billion round at a $50 billion valuation, unpacking a deal structure in which the founder wrote two-fifths of the check and outside investors got no voting rights. She explains why Chinese AI valuations trail US labs, why seven to eight language model players refuse to consolidate, and why DeepSeek chose Huawei chips before Huawei knew about it. Last but not least, Jing shares the indicators she is watching from now to 2027."This is one of the things that really surprised me when I was working on this story: DeepSeek had spent a lot of time last year retrofitting their models and software with Huawei chips. I think a lot of people assumed it's because the government ordered DeepSeek to work with Huawei to embrace the domestic ecosystem, but it's actually the opposite. It was DeepSeek that voluntarily started using Huawei, experimenting with the Huawei chips, and Huawei actually only found out after.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is drawing national attention after suggesting that many drug-addicted homeless individuals in Los Angeles could eventually relocate to Seattle under his proposed homelessness policies. Pratt made the comments during an interview with ABC7 Los Angeles while discussing his plans for addressing homelessness and addiction in the city. SPENCER PRATT TARGETS SEATTLE IN HOMELESSNESS COMMENTS Pratt claimed: Large portions of Los Angeles' homeless population are not originally from California Nonprofits and rehab organizations are contributing to the crisis Stricter enforcement and reduced funding could push people elsewhere According to Pratt: “They're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them.” He specifically referenced Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson while discussing how he believes Seattle handles homelessness and drug addiction. Pratt argued: ➡️ Some individuals are drawn to cities with more permissive policies ➡️ Current systems incentivize continued addiction and homelessness ➡️ Major changes are needed in how cities respond to the crisis SEATTLE MAYOR'S OFFICE DID NOT RESPOND According to Washington In Focus Daily host Carleen Johnson: A request for comment was sent to Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's office No response was received prior to the podcast recording The comments are already fueling broader debates involving: Homelessness policy Drug addiction Public safety Regional migration between West Coast cities Critics of Seattle's approach argue: ➡️ Policies are too permissive ➡️ Cities are enabling addiction and encampments ➡️ Businesses and residents are increasingly frustrated Supporters argue: ➡️ Homelessness is a complex humanitarian issue ➡️ Housing affordability and mental health treatment remain major factors ➡️ Sweeps and punitive policies alone do not solve the crisis This impacts: Homelessness policy Public safety debates West Coast politics Regional migration Local government policy Seattle and Los Angeles voters The comments are quickly becoming part of a larger political fight over how major West Coast cities handle homelessness, addiction, and public disorder. Today's Washington In Focus Daily also features: Washington business owners are sounding the alarm over the state's new income tax, with some lifelong Democrats now considering leaving Washington altogether. In this episode of Washington In Focus Daily, Carlene Johnson speaks with Teeter owners Chris and Riley Lear about tariffs, rising costs, staffing cuts, and why they say Washington businesses have been “bled dry” by the cumulative tax burden. The conversation also dives into concerns over how the new 9.9% income tax could impact S corporations and business owners whose profits exist largely on paper through inventory and reinvestment. Plus, Representative John Ley warns the Interstate Bridge Replacement project could become a multi-billion-dollar “boondoggle,” with tolls potentially climbing far higher than originally advertised. Ley compares the project to California's troubled high-speed rail effort and argues the inclusion of light rail is dramatically driving up costs for Washington and Oregon drivers. #Seattle #LosAngeles #Homelessness #SpencerPratt #Politics #PublicSafety #BreakingNews #WashingtonState #California #USNews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the 2026-27 Budget, the federal government announced changes to the Australia's permanent migration system aimed at prioritising "better-educated", "highly-skilled" and younger migrants. Of the total 185,000 permanent migration places, 70 per cent have been allocated to skilled migrants. While those awaiting parent and partner visas fear even longer wait times, experts believe the new approach could benefit onshore migrant workers. - ਫੈਡਰਲ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਘਾਟ ਪੂਰੀ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਆਪਣੀ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਲੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਕਰ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਤਹਿਤ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਸਿੱਖਿਅਤ, ਉੱਚ-ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਅਤੇ ਨੌਜਵਾਨ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਰਜੀਹ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ। ਬਜਟ 2026-27 ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਸਥਾਈ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ 185,000 ਸਥਾਨਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਸੀਮਤ ਰਹੇਗਾ, ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ 70 ਫੀਸਦ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਸਥਾਨ ਹੁਨਰਮੰਦ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਰਾਖਵੇਂ ਹੋਣਗੇ। ਮਾਹਿਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿ ਰਹੇ ਕਾਮਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਫਾਇਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਫੈਮਿਲੀ ਵੀਜ਼ਾ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਪੇਰੈਂਟ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਰਟਨਰ ਨਕਾਰਾਤਮਕ ਅਸਰ ਪੈ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਸੁਣੋ ਪੂਰੀ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਵਿੱਚ...

PREVIEW FOR LATER TONIGHT: Joseph Sternberg analyzes German efforts to stem the rise of the AfD party through stricter migration policies. He also highlights optimism in Japan's economy and the global impact of rising Japanese interest rates, noting that normalizing rates could pull trillions of dollars in overseas investments back to Japan—imagine the global economy as a hydraulic system where Japan has been a low-pressure reservoir, pushing water (money) out to the rest of the world for decades; as Japan raises rates, it increases pressure at the source, potentially sucking that liquidity back in and lowering levels everywhere else.1870 FRANCO-GERMAN WAR, SIEGE OF PARIS
