> Chinese artificial intelligence hardware stocks fell sharply on Wednesday after reports that the Trump administration is drafting a ban on US imports of new models of Chinese data-centre components. The reported measure would target components used in data centres. The market decline followed news of a possible new restriction on Chinese AI-related hardware entering the United States.
