Asian shares advance despite losses on Wall Street

AP News Shares advanced in Asia on Tuesday after another wobbly day extended a losing streak on Wall Street.

Hong Kong advanced 2.5% and other regional benchmarks were moderately higher. Oil prices slipped.

Signs of progress in China's effort to bring outbreaks of coronavirus under control appeared to be outweighing concern over weaker than expected Chinese economic data for April.

Investors also are watching for comments by Federal Reserve officials that might provide insight into the U.S. economic outlook and future policy moves.

New US hospitals face fiscal crisis over COVID relief money

AP News THOMASVILLE, Ala. (AP) ??" A whole town celebrated in 2020 when, early in the coronavirus pandemic, Thomasville Regional Medical Center opened, offering state-of-the-art medicine that was previously unavailable in a poor, isolated part of Alabama. The timing for the ribbon-cutting seemed perfect: New treatment options would be available in an underserved area just as a global health crisis was unfolding.

In the end, that same timing may be the reason for the hospital's undoing.

Barns once filled with chattering birds were suddenly silent. Employees were anguished by having to kill sickened animals. The family business, started in 1924, was at serious risk.

His business recovered, but now the virus is back, again imperiling the nation's poultry farms. And this time, there's another pernicious force at work: a potent wave of misinformation that claims the bird flu isn't real.

Musk's China ties add potential risks to Twitter purchase

AP News BEIJING (AP) ??" Elon Musk's ties to China through his role as electric car brand Tesla's biggest shareholder could add complexity to his bid to buy Twitter.

Other companies that want access to China give in to pressure to follow Beijing's positions on Taiwan and other issues. But Twitter is shut out by internet barriers that block most Chinese users from seeing global social media, which gives Beijing no leverage over the company, though the ruling Communist Party uses it to spread propaganda abroad.

Tesla Inc.'s ambitions in China might give Beijing that leverage to...
