Olivia Reeves is a once-in-a-generation talent heavily favored to end Team USA's 24-year gold-medal drought in weightlifting. Her secret to success: training half as much as her peers. w/Rachel Bachman wsj.com/sports/olympic… wsj.com/sports/olympic…

She trains half as much as other world-class weightlifters. A few minutes ago, she became an Olympic champion.

China has an Olympic medal in breaking, thanks to a B-girl who goes by 671. She did a crazy head slide. Now she’s a bronze medalist.

Meet the first boomtown of the artificial intelligence age. I checked out the $4 billion worth of AI data centers bizarrely being built next to palm-oil plantations in Malaysia, thanks to its coal-fueled power surplus. wsj.com/tech/ai/one-of… wsj.com/tech/ai/one-of…

TikTok is reaching out for insight about the U.S. from Elon Musk, who is both owner of a rival social-media platform and one of President-elect Trump’s closest confidants on.wsj.com/4962m8F

How did TikTok get a shot at reversing the nationwide ban due to start Jan. 19? Behind the scenes, a TikTok adviser and Trump ally named Tony Sayegh worked to persuade Trump that the ban was a bad idea. w/Georgia Wells Dana Mattioli Raffaele Huang wsj.com/business/how-t…

An Asian icon is going extinct. In Indonesia, volunteers stand in the middle of the street and direct traffic for tips. But the country’s cashless push means there’s less change for them. I spent a day with Azis, who used to make $16 a day. Now it’s $12. wsj.com/lifestyle/traf…

TikTok’s founder became China’s richest man by devising formulas for his life. But the U.S. appears on the verge of crushing his real dream: running a global company. wsj.com/tech/tiktok-fo…

Proud to work alongside Liza Lin and Raffaele Huang , who both led this series!

A big congratulations to The Wall Street Journal's @LizaLinWSJ, @StuWoo and @RaffaeleHuang who were awarded the National Press Foundation 2024 Hinrich Foundation Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade, for their series on China’s phasing out of U.S. technology. Read the stories below: 🧵

The world’s richest person (Elon Musk) met China’s richest person (TikTok founder Zhang Yiming) last while Congress was banning the app. Will this relationship help save TikTok? With Raffaele Huang wsj.com/tech/china-sig…

I’ve been obsessed with how DeepSeek pulled it off. Raffaele Huang and I answered it today. Its recipe: a loophole in U.S. export controls and clever shortcuts to train AI — empowered by the unusual practice of hiring the *least* experienced engineers. wsj.com/tech/ai/china-…

Nvidia and the U.S. are battling over Nvidia's strategy of selling chips to China, which helped DeepSeek. Each time the U.S. limited what Nvidia could sell to China, Nvidia designed a new chip to push the limits. Raffaele Huang Asa Fitch wsj.com/tech/ai/nvidia…

One of the most important people in AI is Jonah Alben, an engineering lead at Nvidia. One of the most amazing about him is how, when he was a coxswain on Stanford’s rowing team, tested the limits of his bladder. wsj.com/tech/the-rower…

The world's biggest fast-food chain isn't McDonald's any more. It's Mixue. I hadn't heard of this Chinese brand till moving back to Asia last year. Now I see it everywhere. It has 45,000 stores and has its IPO in Hong Kong tomorrow. wsj.com/business/retai…

Vietnam was more attractive than China as a factory hub because of lower wages and tariffs. Now Trump’s new 46% tariff is upending one of modern history’s great comeback stories: the mending of U.S.-Vietnam ties after the war. From Hanoi: wsj.com/world/asia/in-…

Navy SEAL. Harvard doctor. NASA astronaut. Jonny Kim is a legend -- and for many Asian Americans, a source of mild anxiety. You might have seen the memes. But Kim credits his success to focus, a frisbee injury and a job handing out parking tickets. wsj.com/lifestyle/jonn…

Vietnam’s new war museum pulls no punches on “U.S. imperialists.” But it’s hot souvenir? A selfie with an American tourist. Fifty years after the war, the Vietnamese haven’t forgotten—but they’ve moved on. Kids welcome Americans like celebrities. wsj.com/world/asia/vie…

I went to Vietnam and shadowed Steve from Wisconsin, who’s on the front lines of the trade war. Steve imports lawnmower parts, pickleball paddles and other stuff. At factories, we learned why even with 46% tariffs, supply chains may still favor Vietnam. wsj.com/world/asia/tra…
