Alice Han and James Kynge dive into why JPMorgan has cut its Hong Kong employees off from Anthropic's Claude. That comes after Goldman Sachs quietly restricted AI access for their employees in the city. With ChatGPT already blocked on the mainland, are U.S. companies drawing a new line around Hong Kong? And what does it mean for the city's future as a global financial hub? They also discuss Lululemon's Great Wall yoga festival, which was meant to celebrate Chinese culture.

It's the latest in a long line of foreign brand missteps in China. Why is it so hard to get it right? And finally: China hasn't qualified for the World Cup — but football fans have found someone to root for: Chinese referee Ma Ning, who has picked up sponsorships from Lenovo and Hisense and 210,000 new social media followers.

Alice Han and special guest Ed Elson break down how Chinese investors are increasingly being shut out of America’s hottest IPOs — even as China pours hundreds of billions into AI, robotics, and next-generation tech. They talk about the growing financial and technological divide between the U.S. and China, the Pentagon’s decision to label companies like Alibaba, BYD, and Baidu as “Chinese Military Companies” and whether Washington and Beijing are entering a new era of financial decoupling. They also look at the big Chinese companies that could be next to IPO, and who China’s Elon Musk might be.  Plus: the growing worker backlash as AI transforms China’s labor market.
