The chips are down again today in Asia. Shares of chipmaker TSMC fell almost 8% on the Taiwan exchange. It comes after the US announced tough new measures to restrict sales of technology to China.. Here's more from me on the #WorldBusinessReport @BBCWorld

You're "good at politics" because your state can deliver 1.5 trillion votes from a 1 million total population. Fine.

But if Microsoft sets up in your state tomorrow and asks for just 50 software engineers to hire, your state doesn't have them.

Good at politics? Give me a break.
