Alice Han and James Kynge dive into why JPMorgan has cut its Hong Kong employees off from Anthropic's Claude. That comes after Goldman Sachs quietly restricted AI access for their employees in the city. With ChatGPT already blocked on the mainland, are U.S. companies drawing a new line around Hong Kong?

They also discuss Lululemon's Great Wall yoga festival, which was meant to celebrate Chinese culture.

It's the latest in a long line of foreign brand missteps in China. Why is it so hard to get it right?
