India is not a sporting nation yet, but it is for sure that Indians love to play sports and win occasionally more than often in games other than cricket. Over the past couple of years, Indians seem to be ruling most global game competitions. Neeraj Chopra just won India’s first-ever gold in Olympic athletics. Non-Cricket sports have also been resurging, with several other sports players like LovlinaBorgogain, MirabaiChanu, PV Sindhu, and Ravi Kumar Dahiya. The success of these sportspeople has been celebrated with much enthusiasm, but their success does not denote that India is a sporting nation. No doubt over the past couple of years the emergence of several government initiatives, accompanied by corporate and media moguls, has helped Indians achieve their dreams in sports. In games like tennis and badminton, some champions have a sporadic interest in championing several sports. As part of government initiatives, there are awards and training opportunities, but unfortunately, they are all very limited. Other large business houses like the Tatas, Reliance, JSW, Mahindra, Vedanta, and Hero have spent significantly to set up leagues and academics enabling them to study different sports and choose their dreams. Broadcasters have also facilitated by showcasing more sports events and games. Why is India Not a Sporting Nation Yet? For a country to be identified as a sporting nation, just winning medals at major sporting events and forums might not be enough. There needs to be a conscious effort by the government and the people residing in the country to make sports an inherent part of the lives of their communities. Health and fitness are two crucial aspects of a progressive and flourishing society. These are the areas that the Indian government should focus on more rather than creating just a sporting culture and developing a consciousness revolving around sports and games, to be called a sporting nation. India has been taking great strides in the sporting arena, with particular performances at various prestigious events such as the World Cup, Commonwealth Games, and the Olympics. Champion athletes such as Abhinav Bindra, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Sushil Kumar, and Vijender Singh, to name a few have brought laurels to the country. But just bringing home medals is not enough. There has to be a more productive attitude towards health and fitness, and this is the process that will produce more champion athletes. For quite a long time, India has been crazy about cricket. The hype and buzz around cricket are unimaginable, and it extends to the limit that all other sports in the country seem too small in front of it. The money that the governing board of cricket has at its disposal is basically used to develop cricketing infrastructure across the country, which has promoted the spread of cricket. It's not that people do not wish to see other sports, but generally, other sports lack the kind of infrastructure that cricket has in the country. In a nutshell, it is quite evident that India is not ready to become a sporting country, but its future endeavors might surely help the country gain that status in the upcoming years.The majority of China's Big techs are likely to be affected by the US chip ban

A US order prohibiting the export of experts in some advanced AI chips to China is likely to affect almost every major big tech company in the country that uses public clouds or advanced artificial intelligence training modules. Nvidia Corp, a chip designer, stated that US officials told it to stop exporting two top computing AI chips to China. According to Shu Jueting, a Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson, Beijing opposes the measures because they undermine Chinese companies' rights and threaten global supply chains. The orders highlight the growing tension between the United States and China over access to advanced chip technology.

A finance and strategy consulting firm went from blocking certain US companies from supplying a specific company, as was the case with Huawei, to banning certain US products from selling to China, period. The worst-case scenario would be Washington broadening the ban to prohibit contract chipmakers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung from manufacturing chips for Chinese chip designers. We're not there yet, and the US will most likely assess the effectiveness of each incremental step before taking drastic action. The latest ban will likely affect a slew of big Chinese tech giants, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Tencent Holding Ltd, Baidu Inc, and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.

Affected companies could use cloud services from Alphabet Inc's Google or Amazon.com Inc's AWS to develop artificial intelligence software and export it back to China, or they could use multiple lower-end chips to replicate the processing power of the banned, high-end chips. According to one former senior AMD employee in China, the restrictions will not prevent Chinese big tech companies from advancing their AI research but will make it more expensive and inefficient in the short term.

It affects resources. They will continue to work on the same projects and make progress; it will simply slow them down. Alibaba, Tencent, or Baidu did not immediately respond to Reuter's requests for comment. Huawei has refused to comment. Washinton's target Nvidia and AMD chips are used for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, specifically building training models for tasks like natural language processing. These modules may also be helpful to militaries in modeling bomb simulations and weapon design. Few Chinese companies can quickly offer chips to replace those of AMD and Nvidia, and the restrictions will likely spur more funding for domestic chip startups to close the gap with US firms. Several startups in China aspire to make chips that can compete with Nvidia and AMD. Many were founded by former employees of those companies, though few have achieved significant scale.

Hygon Information Technology Co and Loongson Technology Corp, both Chinese AI chip makers, saw their shares rise 10% and 6%, respectively. Biren, a company founded by Nvidia and Alibaba alumni, unveiled a 7nm chip last week, which experts say represents significant progress for China's chip sector. Several dozen Chinese chip companies are working on various types of AL accelerators, and their order books will be filled tomorrow.
