00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Ting here, sliding into your feeds fresh off the streets

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of Beijing and the digital trenches of the US China

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>tech war. Because let's face it, folks, things are wild

4
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>and we're all mainlining algorithms these days. Buckle up for

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 1>some recent mega moves, because over the past fortnight, Team

6
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>America and Team Dragon have been playing four D chess

7
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.519
<v Speaker 1>with our collective future. First up, cybersecurity is not just

8
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>a word you ignore when you click I agree on

9
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>a pop up. According to Astro Awani, while the US

10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and China are obsessed with slapping tariffs on each other,

11
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the real battleground is cyberspace. Remember those days when Barak

12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.439
<v Speaker 1>and She tried to play nice and set cyber rules. Yeah,

13
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>ancient history. Now the only thing hotter than a Beijing

14
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>summer is the exchange of digital volleys. American officials swear

15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Chinese hackers are after defense contractors and critical infrastructure, while

16
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Beijing claims they're just fending off Uncle Sam's digital freedom fighters.

17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Even the RCA Regional Forum in Kuala Lumpa last week

18
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get these two to stop finger pointing or agree

19
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>on a game plan. On the policy front, It's been

20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>all about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by

21
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>President Trump on the fourth. This beast puts the squeeze

22
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>on any foreign entity, especially Chinese, trying to play in

23
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>U s Ai or clean energy sandboxes. If you want

24
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>a slice of that sweet federal R and D pie,

25
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you'd better prove your supply chain isn't even breathing Chinese air.

26
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>That means tied to controls on tech licensing, robust due diligence,

27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>and a whole lot of headaches for multinationals. And let's

28
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>not forget those tip export controls. They're tighter than a

29
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>submarine gasket. The U S is even eyeing Malaysia and

30
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Thailand as possible new choke points, with Malaysia now requiring

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>permits a month ahead for high end U Sai chip exports,

32
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>so no sneaky rerouting to China. Meanwhile, over in jong

33
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 1>guang Kun, the Silicon Valley of Beijing, while we's out

34
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>here flexing like they're running the show, they're pitching their

35
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>ascend nine one zero b AI chips to the Middle

36
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 1>East and Southeast Asia, targeting places where U S export

37
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>bands have left a tech vacuum. No major deals yet,

38
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>but they're dangling remote access to their cloud Matrix three

39
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 1>eight four AI Cloud for customers who can't get US hardware.

40
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huan says China's military wouldn't touch US

41
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>chips anyway, too risky with all the export uncertainty, He claims,

42
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>China's home grown computing power is already huge, and US

43
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 1>controls are just pushing them to double down on domestic

44
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>R and D. Speaking of industry impacts, the tariffs from

45
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>both sides are still sky high compared to pre twenty

46
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>eighteen levels. The US average tariff on Chinese goods is

47
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 1>about fifty one percent, while China's is around thirty two percent.

48
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Every trade dollar is being taxed, sometimes multiple times. That's

49
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 1>more red tape than a Beijing bureau expert analysis. Well,

50
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>if you ask ting, this is all setting the stage

51
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>for a world where tech is balkanized, AI chips, cyber security,

52
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you name it. Both sides are digging in and the

53
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 1>collateral damage is global supply chains, innovation, and maybe even

54
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>international stability. Expect more cyber skirmishes, more export bands, and

55
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>more homegrown tech as each side tries to outflank the other.

56
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>So what's next? Unless we get some serious digital detent,

57
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>which is about as likely as finding a free public

58
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Wi Fi spot in Shanghai. Expect more chaos, more innovation,

59
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>and more of ting bringing you the inside scoop. Thanks
