that China loses the AI ​​race, but wins the economic war by bleeding them dry

by

The AI ​​race has two main players, but their bets are very different. While the United States has already spent $350 billion in AI (and plan to spend much more), China has only invested 100,000 million. Silicon Valley optimists start from the belief that AI will radically change the world and whoever masters AI will dominate the future. And if not? As they say in financial times, The United States could win this battle, but lose the economic war. USA. You have put all your eggs in the same basket. Exorbitant investments are guided by the belief that AI will change the world as we know it, that AGI will make humans finally stop working. It is an epic speech in which AI is presented to us as a kind of messiah that will save the world, one that completely ignores the alternative: that AI is a great technological leap, yes, but neither so revolutionary nor, above all, such a great business. And it’s not just a technology thing, investors are absorbed in the same obsession. China. In 2017, China announced the “Development Plan for a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence” in which they defined AI as a strategic technology. For China, AI is a national priority, but its approach is more pragmatic and much less speculative. You just have to look at their AI models, like DeepSeek, effective but very far from the very expensive ‘frontier models’ in which the US is investing. His vision for AI is not so much to transform the world, but rather to function as a tool to be even more efficient in different processes. a few months ago They announced the “AI+” planwhere they detailed the deployment of AI in six sectors: scientific and technological development, industrial applications, consumer services, public welfare, governance and security, and international collaborations. The AI ​​war. We always hear the idea of ​​this stark battle to dominate AI from the American side. In many cases, the AI ​​war, like AGI, is another point of pressure for Silicon Valley to justify the tremendous expense or achieve its objectives. We have seen it recently with Jensen Huang pushing for the government to let him sell his chips in China and his argument revolved around the idea that China will achieve technological independence and then win the AI ​​war. The paradox for the United States is that its own invention is benefiting its enemy. The AI ​​war also functions as a pressure point for China: forcing the US to mortgage its economy to the technology they consider the future, while they overtake them in everything else. The economic war. The United States is betting everything on a single winning horse, while China has not stopped investing to ensure its dominance in other key sectors, such as electric cars, batteries, robotics and, above all, renewable energy. For China there are many futures, for the US only one. The commitment to diversification is going well. In 2024 China already manufactured 76% of electric cars sold worldwide and 80% of all lithium batteries. They are also the country with more industrial robot installationswhich gives them an advantage to continue being the factory of the world. There is much more, they are also undisputed leaders in other sectors such as the manufacture of drones, solar panels, high-speed trains and graphene. China’s AI is energy. China carries years investing in clean energy. According to Carbon Brief reportIn 2024 alone, China invested $940 billion, and it is not the year it spent the most. The curious thing is that energy is key for many sectors, especially AI. The United States knows this well and has already encountered a wall: They don’t have power for so many chips. Not only is China producing more energy, it is also is subsidizing it. Jensen Huang warned about this situation, ensuring that “China is going to win the AI ​​race” thanks to the government’s energy aid. Trump, for his part, has discouraged renewable energies and the electric car industry. In the end it will turn out that, for the United States, it is AI to win or nothing to win.

There is a new chapter in the Nexperia soap opera, one in which China wins the game

by

There are new developments in the chip war between the Netherlands and China, which has the company Nexperia at the center. After a tense escalation and the blockade that threatened to paralyze factoriesthe situation has improved after the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinpingbut there is something else. Almost at the same time, Nexperia China made a decision that changes everything: they will take care of the manufacturing of all the chips without depending on Holland, which would mean the definitive divorce from what was their headquarters. A divided company. Since last October 13 The Dutch government decided to take control of the companyNexperia split in two and was caught between two pieces of legislation. On the one hand, the headquarters in Holland controlled by the Dutch government and on the other its subsidiary in China, which The Chinese government banned the export of components. What followed was an increasingly tense exchange: the Chinese subsidiary broke ranks with the parent company and began to act independently and then from Holland They stopped supplying wafers for their chips as “a direct consequence of the recent failure by local management to comply with contractually agreed payment terms.” The automobile sector was shaking in the face of supply cuts and warned that factories could be paralyzed. Nexperia China. In a statement published by Beijing Dailydescribe the accusation as completely false and affirm that, not only have they not breached the contract, but that the Dutch parent company owes them 1,000 million yuan (about 122 million euros). They continue: “The unilateral suspension of supply by Nexperia completely ignores the interests of customers, seriously violates contractual agreements and the principles of business cooperation, seriously damages customer trust and constitutes an extremely irresponsible act.” Full China. Nexperia China will continue to operate independently and they assure that they have enough stock to supply their international customers “until the end of the year and beyond.” Furthermore, before the controversy Nexperia was already responsible for 70% of production; What Europe supplied them was mainly the wafers or wafers. Nexperia China says in its statement that they are “accelerating verification of new wafer capacity,” the key component to its full independence. The meeting. In it statement issued by the White House Following the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping, it is said that “China will take appropriate measures to ensure the resumption of trade from Nexperia’s facilities in China, allowing production of critical legacy chips to reach the rest of the world.” That is to say, the blockade is coming to an end, the curious thing is that at no time does it mention anything about Holland or Europe. Nexperia Netherlands. The Dutch headquarters welcomed the agreement between the presidents of both nations, but did not comment on the Chinese subsidiary’s intention to accelerate its industrial independence. If Nexperia China finally completes its total spin-off, the European subsidiary could end up being a kind of ghost company empty.

Orange has confirmed that it can simultaneously undertake the purchase of 50% of Masorange and its proportional share of Altice’s assets in France without affecting the dividend. Or so he claims. Laurent Martínez, financial director, has said it unequivocally: both operations are viable while maintaining “profitability for the shareholder as an absolute priority.” Why it is important. Five years ago, any European operator that had announced two large acquisitions in parallel would have suffered an immediate stock market punishment. Now the market digests it. It is the first major sign that the consolidation of the sector has ceased to be a regulatory taboo and has become an accepted strategic necessity. There are even signs that Europe begins to give way after decades of anti-concentration dogma. Between the lines: Orange is looking for customers and spectrum in France, not duplicate infrastructure. In Spain, the Masorange shareholder agreement blocks any movement until April 2026. But CEO Christel Heydemann has been clear: “There is no rush.” They can wait because they have financial muscle. That capacity for patience is, in itself, a competitive advantage. The context. Europe has 34 main operators for 450 million inhabitants. The United States has three for 335 million. China, four for 1.4 billion. Proportionally, Europe has eight times more operators than the United States and 27 times more than China. The result: compressed margins, insufficient investment and a 41% drop in the sector’s market capitalization between 2015 and 2023. Unexpected twist. Teresa Ribera, new European Commissioner for Competition, said in spring that the rules will “evolve” to allow for greater scale. It’s a radical departure from her predecessor, Margrethe Vestager, who systematically blocked mergers for a decade. The Draghi Report has explicitly called for facilitating consolidation. Something is moving in the bureaucracy. Marking agenda. Marc Murtra, president of Telefónica, has led a manifesto signed by twenty European telecommunications companies calling for drastic changes in merger regulations. It’s not rhetoric: Telefónica has liquidated its businesses in Latin America to concentrate on Europe with the addition of Brazil. Murtra has declared that the teleco “will be active in a future scenario of European mergers.” They want to be much more than the large Spanish telecom. It’s been rumored for months its interest in taking over Vodafone Spain and with the German 1&1. Digi has even sounded. Yes, but. Not two of the three large Spanish operators can finance a state-of-the-art fiber network without external help. PremiumFiber, presented by Masorange and Vodafone A few days ago, it needed the Singapore sovereign fund with 25% of the capital. That is the real picture: without consolidation, European telecommunications companies will increasingly depend on Asian capital to maintain competitive infrastructures. The big question. Will Europe allow its operators to consolidate now, while they still have muscle, or will it wait for American and Chinese giants to absorb the European market piecemeal? Orange has shown that it can play on two boards at once. It remains to be seen whether regulators are going to let the game continue. In Xataka | Telefónica wants to lead Europe.

It is not whoever shoots faster who wins, but whoever types better

The video game ‘Final Sentence’ is the perfect example that there are no mechanics that are too dry or complex: if the design is good and the packaging attractive you can have some of the content creators most relevant on the internet typing lapidary phrases without rest as if they were secretaries of some oil magnate. Typing for the masses in a title whose final version is not yet available but whose demo is already sweeping Steam. What is it. ‘Final Sentence’ is an independent video game with an overwhelmingly simple concept: a battle royale typing game in which up to 100 players compete to survive based on speed and precision when writingand where every spelling mistake is potentially fatal. Developed by independent Lithuanian studio Button Mash (actually just one person), the game creates an experience that some media have compared it to ‘The Squid Game’ or other games like ‘Buckshot Roulette’. The inspiration, according to your managercomes from your own clumsiness at the keys and the search for more entertaining ways to improve. Why has it been so successful? A series of factors have come together that have turned it into a bombshell. On the one hand, and above all, the launch of a playable demo as part of the latest Steam Next Fest in October. On the other hand, it uses a mechanic that we know well, the free-for-all, which is part of the essence of hits like ‘Fortnite‘, and washes his face. Being easy to understand and difficult to master (that is, anyone can start playing immediately), it also has an implacable brutality with errors: any mistake is severely punished. Which gives it both an addictive component and a viral character that has helped many content creators try it. The pressure of 100. He battle royale It is carried out against groups of rivals of between 40 and 100 players (although it is also possible to organize smaller private games). But the interesting thing is in the most populated ones: seeing how one after another the rivals finish their sentences, the players can feel the imminent elimination, since not only those who make mistakes are punished, but also those who are slower in finishing writing what they have been ordered to. Who has played. People as followed on the Spanish-speaking internet as IlloJuan, ElRubius, Genuine993, PNKeasy They have tried the game, but you just have to go around platforms like Youtube to check that there are thousands of videos with gameplays of the game, all squeezing out the component of tension and terror that this very peculiar concept has. The reason? The idea of ​​”write or die” is extremely juicy and practically any viewer, regardless of cultures and languages, can identify with it. Play to write. Since that legendary ‘The Typing of the Dead‘ that allowed you to connect a keyboard to the Dreamcast to undertake a literary version of ‘House of the Dead’, the very specific subgenre of “typing video games” has experienced multiple mutations, to the point of generating its own variants. There are, for example, online competitive titles (‘TypeRacer‘, ‘NitroType‘, ‘Ratatype Race‘), narrative and adventure games (‘Epistory‘, ‘The Textorcist‘, ‘Type to Continue‘) and games more oriented towards educational or casualas ‘TypingClub‘, the platform Typing.com or the hilarious Ztype. The important thing: that you have the keys well oiled, because you can see every work tool there… In Xataka | Transcribing at full speed with a keyboard with only 21 keys: the job of a stenotypist, according to someone who has been in it for 35 years

Vegetable protein wins the game

by

In the supermarket hall, more and more containers shout the same: “High in protein”. Powdered beaters, fortified yogurts, breads, even sauces. For decades, the council was simple: replace red meat with chicken or fish. Today, the mantra has changed. “Protein” has become advertising claim, cultural identity and even aesthetic aspiration. But, while the market is filled with promises, science begins to clarify another part of the story: what proteins do they really matter, how they are processed and what cost they have for the planet. Eat “on the planet”. An investigation, Posted in Science Advanceshas gathered 37 studies in a meta -analysis with more than 3.2 million people. The verdict is striking: the more your dish looks like the “planetary health diet” (Planetary Health Diet, PhD), the lower your risk of dying for any cause, and at the same time the climatic footprint of your diet decreases. With nuances, yes, but with an unusual statistical consistency in nutrition. The study. The team combined data from two mass cohorts: Nhanes in the United States (42,947 adults) and the UK Biobank in the United Kingdom (125,372 people). In addition, to integrate meta -analysis. The objective was to see to what extent the adhesion to the PHD influenced both the health and the environmental impact of the diet. The Planetary Health Diet was proposed in 2019 By the Eat-Lancet Commission. This diet is not based on being strict vegetarian, rather, seeks to balance health with environmental sustainability with a more based on plants. In other words: it is a diet designed so that the human being lives more, but also so that the planet can sustain it. The results were clear. On the one hand, in the United States, who followed more closely the PHD had 23% less risk of total mortality. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, the reduction was 16%, in addition to fewer cancer deaths and respiratory diseases. Metanalysis pointed in the same direction: together, the PHD was associated with 21% less mortality due to any cause: cardiovascular, diabetes and colon and lung cancer. In addition, the researchers estimated the greenhouse gas emissions associated with diets and found a consistent pattern: the more the PHD participants moved away, the greater the climate footprint of their diet. The main responsible: red meat and dairy. Behind the study. The attractiveness of the study is double. On the one hand, he confirms with robust observational evidence that those who follow the PHD live more and better: less cancer, less heart attacks, less diabetes. On the other, it shows that this same pattern reduces the carbon footprint from the daily diet. A difficult combination to ignore in full climatic crisis. The authors themselves ask for caution: it is an observational study and not proof causality. In other words, it does not show that eating in a way directly live more years. Even so, the consistency of the results in millions of people and the scale of meta -analysis give it an unusual weight in nutrition and suggest that the signal is no accident. To the same place. Other investigations were already on the same way to move the animal protein through the vegetable, since it can bring health benefits and, incidentally, for the planet. As we have pointed out in Xataka, For decades the council was to replace red meat with chicken or fish. However, the balance begins to bow towards the vegetable. A study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that women with more rich diets in vegetable protein aged in a healthier way. And from another angle, the American Gut Project reached a similar conclusion: diversity matters. Their data revealed that those who added up to 30 plants other than week had a much richer intestinal microbiome. In other words: both in longevity and in intestinal health, patterns based on plants add tests in favor of what now confirms the meta -analysis in Science Advances. Not everything is black or white. Animal protein provides essential amino acids of easier absorption. Sports dietitian Marie Spano, cited by Men’s Healthwarns that those who follow 100% vegetable diets need more total protein and combine different groups. And the degree of processing matters: As explained the epidemiologist Filippa Juul al New York Timesthe ultraprocesses “disguised” as healthy – booked, vegetable lasañas ready to heat – do not offer the same benefits as minimally processed foods. The Mediterranean diet, a nearby mirror. The debate is not just Anglo -Saxon. As we have explained in Xatakaa Spanish study with cohort data Enrica (11,488 people, 14.4 years of follow -up) showed that both the phd and the traditional Mediterranean diet offer similar benefits. Mortality was reduced by 22% in those who followed the PHD most and in 21% in the most faithful to the Mediterranean. Regarding the environmental impact, the differences were minimal: 4.15 kg of CO₂ a day for the pHD compared to 4.36 for the Mediterranean. In other words, both seem to offer a viable path to a healthier and sustainable food. It is not just calories or nutrients. Now it is also measured in years of life and in kilograms of Co₂. The new study in Science Advances confirms that the Planetary Health Diet offers benefits on both fronts: more health, less environmental impact. While the market promotes the “chic protein era” and social networks dictate extreme fashions, scientific evidence suggests a simpler message: more plants, less ultra -processed, meat as accompaniment and not as the center of the dish. The question is no longer how much protein we eat, but from what sources it comes and what footprint leaves in the world.

The Apple Watch Ultra renews itself after two years of waiting. Apple has presented the Apple Watch Ultra 3the third generation of its most resistant and advanced smart watch, aimed at athletes and adventurers, or simply watch enthusiasts looking for the model with the best possible specifications. As expected, the company maintains its focus on extreme durability while introducing improvements in connectivity and performance. The great novelty comes with a larger screen, satellite connectivity and 5G support for the first time in an Apple Watch. These are the characteristics that consolidate Ultra 3 as the most complete Apple watch.

The chip in principle maintains the architecture of 64 double -core bits with four -core Neural Engine that we already know. The big difference is in the new capabilities that it unlocked, especially in connectivity and health data processing. Later we can give more details about this chip. Satellite connectivity: Never again without coverage The most revolutionary incorporation of ultra 3 is its satellite connectivitymaking the clock the first Apple capable of working completely without telephone towers. This technology allows to send emergency messages and contact rescue services from anywhere on the planet, such as what was seen on the iPhone of recent years. Complementing this novelty, ultra 3 is also the First Apple Watch with 5g supportthanks to a modem that significantly improves connection speeds in areas with 5G coverage.

It does not turn on or sound, but wins on the other hand

Few consoles in history are as recognizable as the game boy. That small machine that today may seem rudimentary was, in its day, an authentic revolution. He strengthened Nintendo as the great reference of the portable video game and marked an entire generation. To hold one of these consoles again is, for many, to return to childhood. To those days when a monochrome screen was enough to get lost for hours with ‘Tetris’ or ‘Super Mario Land’. LEGO knows very well what this nostalgia awakens and wanted to pay tribute to a proposal that shines for his ingenuity. A faithful replica, piece by piece. THE NEW LEGO SET Recreate the original game boy with a surprising level of detail. It consists of 421 pieces and maintains a scale close to the real. It includes all the elements that marked that console: the crosshead, the A and B buttons, select and start, the volume wheel, the contrast control and even the slot for cartridges. Two mythical games are also included. LEGO has designed two buildable cartridges that can be inserted into the console: Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. The front allows you to exchange screens, with options that replicate the start of Nintendo or scenes inspired by those games. In addition, the panel has a slow effect that gives the feeling that the screen is really lit. It is not functional, but neither does it pretend This game boy does not emit sounds, it does not turn on or allow to play. It is not a console, but a collection piece designed for adults who enjoy assembly and design. Even so, its nostalgic power is undeniable. Release and Price Date. The set can already be reserved on Lego.com and stores selected by 59.99 euros. It will officially go on sale on October 1, 2025. A different way – but very special – to relive an unrepeatable era of portable video game.

After the giant wolf, a huge bird of New Zealand wins points to be desixtinquida. And Peter Jackson has a lot to do

by

‘Jurassic Park‘It is a science fiction story until it ceases to be. Not so much because there are those who consider current technology can bring dinosaurs backbut because there is already a company that is returning to life species that were extinguished thousands of years ago. It is colossal and are accepting requests to relive your favorite extinct animal. Whenever you call yourself Peter Jackson and have 25 million dollars to donate them. “Hobby”Jackson does not need presentations at this point. After several minor films, he jumped to world fame with his adaptation of ‘The Lord of the Rings‘, which allowed him to fulfill another of his dreams: roll a King Kong movie. In the tape the love that the New Zealander director feels for animals from other times, but that passion transcends to the screen was felt. Interestingly, one of the director’s fun is to collect Moa bones, to the point of having one of the largest private collections in the world focused on the bones of that extinct animal. “The movies are my work, but the moa are my hobby,” commented Jackson. From left to right a kiwi, an ostrich and a moa. They were … big De -sextinging the moa. But … what is a moa? In a nutshell, it’s like a kiwi, but about three meters high, about 250 kilos and can not fly either. His closest living relatives would be the aforementioned kiwis, but also the casuaries and the most similar would be Emú. New Zealand natives, the MOA was not extinguished: we extinguish it. When the Maori arrived at the islands, they began to hunt them and, although sightings have been reported in the nineteenth century, there is no evidence of this and it is considered that the MOA was extinguished, at least 500 years ago. Jackson comments that “any Neozyre child feels fascination with Moa.” Colossal comes into play. The filmmaker has between 300 and 400 Moa bones, and it will be that private collection the one that drives The animal’s de -sexyction thanks to a company called Colossal. It is not the first time we talk about them, since it is a company dedicated to biotechnology that has become popular for their interest in Return animal to life like mammoth or the Tasmania tiger. Also to Dodo. What they do is Take extinct animal DNAsomething that can be done from bones such as those that Jackson possesses and, the more remains, the better, and combine it with samples of relatives who live today. That is the easy thing: the complicated thing comes when, once the genetic information of the two DNA is combined, they are “filtering variants” to edit the genes and get exactly the animal they want. Finally, a living animal is used to give birth to the “new” creature. And it is not cheap. Money. A lot. In a recent financing round, Colossal Biosciences reached a assessment of 10,200 million dollars. At the end of 2024, Jackson already He collaborated With 10 million dollars in Colossal Bioscience, but now it has donated another 15 million for the company to place the MOA in its list of ‘goals’. This implies that we will take time to see the result. Now, Colossal is not just castles in the air. In April of this year, the company advertisement His first success: they had achieved resurrect the giant wolf, the Aenocyon Dirus. Now there are three puppies called Romulo, Remo and Khaleesi that, with six months of age – they were born in January this year – they have reached a weight of about 36 kilos and a length of 120 cm. They are expected to reach 180 cm and 68 kilos each. Jackson on the left and Ben Lamm, one of the founders of Colossal, on the right. Both with moa bones Complex. We will see what happens to the moa, but there are those who think that what is best colossal is Sell the motorcycle. With the MOA we are at a very early stage of the welcoming, but as we read in Physthe process seems to be more complex than with the wolves. Beth Shapiro is the chief scientist of Colossal and has commented that, unlike what happens with mammals, bird embryos develop inside eggs, so the process of transferring an embryo to a substitute mother will be very different from in vitro fertilization in mammals. Nic Rawlence is a paleontologist who works at the University of Otago and has commented that reviving New Zealand birds “is not scientifically possible with current technology.” The problem is that there is no good moa genome and its closest relatives are the Tinamúesof those who separated 60 million years ago. Criticism Apart from that, which is an important challenge, there is another issue: if an extinct animal is revived, is the patent of nature or the responsible company? Ben Lamm, the director of Colossal, has already explained that They do not want to monetize those animals directly, but sell its technology. But of course, he does not close the door to patent what they wish. And, although Alex, 10 would love to see a tyrannosaur in the streets of San Diego, the current Alex knows that no company is going to do it for love of art and that, probably, it does not matter that the habitat of that animal does not look like it or the least to the one he had at the time of his disappearance. Who is excited It’s Jackson. “Returning the moa to life would be so exciting, if not more, than any movie you could do.” Images | Colossal, Kkpcw, Gage Skidmore In Xataka | We just closed a primate.

The prize has been granted unanimously to a manuscript sent under pseudonym And with another title that has finally stayed aside, ‘Lovebot’, and that referred to an important element of the plot. The jury as always, brings together names from the press and the fandom of the fantastic, to which Asier Moreno Vizuete adds, winner of the XVIII Minotaur Award. Next to him have been part of the jury Isabel Clemente (member of Porticothe Spanish Fantasy, Science Fiction and Terror Association), Fernando Bonete (University Professor, Author and prescriber), Daniel Pérez Castrillón and Alberto Pluled (both booksellers and prescribers). In the contest, 274 manuscripts from different countries have participated this year, mainly Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Colombia, although they have also come from other European and even Asian countries. The winning novel has been praised by its Interesting use of classic elements of science fiction and authors such as Isaac Asimovwith issues on artificial intelligence heirs of those already raised by the author mixed with unusual ingredients in gender, such as agatha Christie -type criminals. In the book we moved to the twentieth century, when vacation cruises, Mars and Jupiter have been popularized.

60 -minute matches, without South Koreans and without knowing who wins

by

If finally Kim Yong’s dreams are fulfilled and North Korea becomes a kind of Asian Benidormthe first foreign tourists who arrive can take some surprise. For example, if they sit on a terrace to take something and expect to see an international football match, it will be difficult for them to see the Spanish or the Italian league. There you only see the Premier League, although in its own way. Devotion for the Premier. It The Guardian counted this week in a report. For a country so suspicious of external influences As is North Korea, the nation seems unable to resist the attractiveness of football, and expressly of the Premier League of England, the most watched sport (and one of the few) on the country’s television screens. The result, as we will see, is a “medium” and little legal access to the parties, a viewing marked by strong restrictions, censorship and a significant delay in the transmissions, as detailed in An analysis of site 38 North. Delays and modifications. To start, Premier League broadcasts on North Korean television They are not live and are usually transmitted with considerable delay. For example, the first broadcast of the 2024-25 season began on January 13, with a match between the Ipswich and the Liverpool that had been played … 150 days before. There are more. The footage of each party is edited and reduced from the original 90 minutes one houreliminating pauses and politically inconvenient moments, whether advertising or other signal that the regime does not approve. Besides, Any graphic in English is replaced by signs in Koreanand the logos of foreign chains are blurred to hide their origin. Yes indeed, The Guardian told That, although in the past censorship came to hide advertising in the stadiums, this practice seems to have been abandoned. Another peculiarity is that The full season is not broadcast. In the 2023-24 season, for example, only 21 games were issued, and these were repeated in a loop on multiple occasions. In other words, the lack of a complete calendar prevents North Korean viewers know who wins the leaguesince the parties are not transmitted in chronological order. They leave that to the imagination of the spectators. No trace of the neighbor. The ideological filter of the Kim Jong-un regime is also reflected in the selection of the matches that are issued. The teams where South Korean soccer players play, such as Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), the super star are heung-min (Tottenham) or Kim Ji-Soo (Brentford), They do not appear in programming.
