CHONBURI, Thailand – Taekwondo rising star Tachiana Mangin continues to impress at a young age as she won a gold medal in her first Southeast Asian Games stint.

The 18-year-old produced the Philippines’ seventh gold medal in this edition of the regional showpiece after a 2-0 win over home bet Kamonchanok Seeken of Thailand in the final of the women’s 49kg kyorugi at the Fashion Island Shopping Mall in Bangkok on Friday, December 12.

Her victory reinforced her caliber as a force in the international scene as it came a year after she won a historic gold medal in the 2024 World Taekwondo Junior Championships in Chuncheon, South Korea.

And what made Mangin’s triumph more impressive is the fact that the University of Santo Tomas standout ruled a division that had long been dominated by Thailand in the SEA Games.

Thailand won the event in each of the last eight editions, with two-time Olympic champion Panipak Wongpattanakit reigning in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023.

Morever, Mangin went up against a formidable opponent in Seeken, who won silver medals in the women’s 46kg class in the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships and 2024 Asian Taekwondo Championships.

On her way to the final, Mangin also beat Phonnapha Djaniguian of Laos and Winda Dwi Putri of Indonesia. – Rappler.com

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
