U.S. lawmakers have concerns about Apple-Alibaba deal

The Trump administration is investigating whether Apple's collaboration with Alibaba to integrate AI features into iPhones sold in China could result in data sharing between U.S. and Chinese tech companies, sparking concerns about its impact on U.S.-China relations. A report by *The New York Times* highlighted questions from White House officials and Congress about the terms of the deal, which has only been publicly confirmed by Alibaba. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi criticized Alibaba as a symbol of China's military-civil fusion strategy, while acknowledging that ongoing U.S.-China tensions present other challenges for Apple, including tariffs.
