According to sources cited by Reuters on the 4th local time, US President Biden is expected to issue an executive order early next week to restrict US investment in China involving "sensitive technologies".

It is expected that the administrative order will target US private equity, venture capital, as well as investments in semiconductors, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence in China. Sources say that most of the investments covered by the executive order will have to notify the US government, and certain investments will be prohibited.

According to Reuters on the 4th, four US officials revealed that the United States still refuses to recognize Travis King, a US soldier who was detained after crossing the border into North Korea last month, as a prisoner of war.

Given that the United States has promised not to allow any American soldiers to stay in enemy territory, this decision is highly sensitive for the US military. The soldier involved in the report screenshot is Private Travis King, 23 years old, who enlisted in January 2021 and is part of the First Armored Division. During the "group tour" on July 18th, he crossed the border into North Korea through the joint security zone of Panmunjom on the Korean border.
