they are used for artificial intelligence. as you mentioned, more specifically, machine learning, speeding up those processes, image face recognition. it's used for all kinds of things, and yes, they can be used for military purposes. the united states certainly purchases semiconductor chips for that reason. china does to, the concern here is the ambiguity between the private and state sector in china. there isn't as much of a hard line as there is here in the united states. but really, these specific ships, they're quite new. one of them came out on the market 3 years ago. one of them hasn't even been export to china yet. so as for whether or not they are being currently used for building weapons that's really unclear. okay, so how much do you think this will hurt chinese companies on, on? i do you think phasing will retaliate? well, ai, artificial intelligence is a strategic priority for china. they've,

they've invested heavily in part of the issues that china is heavily dependent on us chips. so this is going to hurt china, it's going to do some damage to the private sector. specifically, alibaba, another company hence. and they heavily rely specifically on the videos, chips to, for their cloud services, which are very widespread. so we can expect some damage there to put it in perspective in videos revenue, well about a 4th of it comes from china and hong kong, so that to tell you something. now, as for retaliation, the united states certainly as escalating the tensions here trying to, however, does really rely on these ships as i've mentioned. so, we'll just have to wait and see this was somewhat of an unexpected move by the united states. okay, so it could be a long game teddy arthur in new york. thank you very much. now here in germany, measures to reduce travel costs, including and much loved $9.00 euro monthly public transport ticket have come to an end after 3 months, along with
