00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're tech enthusiasts. Ting here your go to gal

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>for all things China, cyber and hacking. Buckle up, because

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.759
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks have been a wild ride in

4
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the US China tech showdown, and I'm here to break

5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 1>it down for you. Let's start with the bombshell that

6
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 1>dropped just hours ago. President Trump slapped another ten percent

7
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>tariff on Chinese imports, bringing the total to a whopping

8
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent. China's Ministry of Commerce wasted no time in

9
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>firing back, vowing to adopt countermeasures. It's like watching a

10
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>high stakes game of economic ping pong, and we're all

11
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>holding our breath to see where the ball lands next.

12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>But wait, there's more. The cyber realm has been buzzing

13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>with activity. Remember volt Typhoon, that sneaky Chinese state backed

14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>hacker group. While the US just announced they've dismantled their operation,

15
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>which had been using hundreds of compromised US routers to

16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>launch attax on critical infrastructure. Talk about a close call.

17
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just infrastructure at risk. Salt Typhoon, another

18
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Chinese hacker group, has been caught with their hands in

19
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the cookie jar, breaching at least nine US telecom networks.

20
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 1>They've been snooping on everything from government officials phones to

21
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>corporate secrets. Even the big Man himself, Donald Trump and

22
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>his running mate J. D. Vance weren't safe from their

23
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>prying eyes. But China's not taking these accusations lying down.

24
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Their National Cybersecurity Agency just pointed the finger at a

25
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>US intelligence agency accusing them of cyber attacks on two

26
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Chinese tech firms. It's like a never ending game of no,

27
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>you did it first. On the policy front, the Biden

28
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Administration's Data Security Executive Order from last year is still

29
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>sending shockwaves through the tech world. Companies are scrambling to comply,

30
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's putting a serious damper on cross bordered data flows.

31
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Looking ahead, experts are warning that this tech tug of

32
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>war could have some serious Consequencesannuber, the US Deputy National

33
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technologies, thinks China's espionage

34
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 1>program is just getting started, and with the US presidential

35
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>election coming up, you can bet both sides will be

36
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on high alert for any digital shenanigans. But it's not

37
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>all doom and gloom. The tech industry is nothing if

38
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>not resilient. Chinese companies have been pouring billions into developing

39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 1>their own semiconductor ecosystem and US firms are exploring new

40
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>markets and partnerships to offset the impact of these restrictions.

41
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>As we move forward, one thing's for sure, the US

42
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 1>China tech rivalry is far from over. It's shaping up

43
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a long, complex battle that'll keep US techies

44
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>on our toes for years to come. So stay tuned,

45
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>keep your firewalls up, and maybe think twice before clicking

46
