  • Yellen says Chinese response possible on expected US tariff action

    FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia (Reuters) -The United States could see a significant response from China following any U.S. tariff actions, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday ahead of expected new tariffs targeting certain sectors this week. Yellen, speaking to reporters after a broadband event in rural Fredericksburg, Virginia, said she and other U.S. officials had made clear to China they could reconfigure tariffs first imposed under former President Donald Trump to be more strategic, but that any changes would be narrowly targeted. She declined to give any details of expected changes in U.S. tariffs on China, but said the Biden administration would ensure Chinese officials were informed ahead of any U.S. action.

  • Japan sees need for sharp hike in power output by 2050 to meet demand from AI, chip plants

    Japan envisages the need for electricity output to rise 35% to 50% by 2050 due to growing demand from semiconductor plants and data centres backing artificial intelligence (AI), the government has forecast. Power output should grow from 1 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) projected for the current decade to about 1.35-1.5 trillion kWh in 2050 to meet demand as Japan sets up more data centres, chip factories and other energy-consuming businesses, the government said in a document published late on Monday. Unless Japan increases renewable energy output, stable supply of power could be uncertain, the government said, as it began mapping out a new strategy on decarbonisation and industrial policy by 2040 which it plans to finalise by the end of March.
