    China now requires Beijing's approval for trips abroad by spouses and children of some top AI and chip executives, per Bloomberg

    Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports that China has widened travel restrictions on top AI professionals at private companies to cover some of their family members. Spouses and children of some AI and chip executives now need Beijing's approval even for short trips abroad. The measures are not a blanket exit ban, and it is unclear whether relatives of everyone affected must comply. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology did not respond to Bloomberg's request for comment.
