00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Hey everyone, ting here with your latest download on the relentless, exhilarating,

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>slightly exhausting US China tech war. Yes, I've got the

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>inside bites on the chip fights and cyber skirmishes rocking

4
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Beijing and beyond. Let's start with the policy fireworks. Washington

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>is shifting from broad decoupling to what's being called strategic decoupling.

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Gone are the days of sweeping bands. Now it's all

7
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.399
<v Speaker 1>about precision strikes on China's technology sectors. In just the

8
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.039
<v Speaker 1>past two weeks, the US Commerce Department dropped new rules

9
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that slammed the doors on US chips powering Chinese AI,

10
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>especially with bans on using Huawei's as send chips and

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>preventing re exports of high end US tech for Chinese

12
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>model training. Oh and for you aviation geeks, the US

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>has suspended CFM Leap one SA engine supplies for China's

14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>homegrown C nine one nine jets, a move that could

15
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>really sting Comac's ambitions. Meanwhile, for all you chip nerds

16
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and Vidia fans, I see you. The Trump administration in

17
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.719
<v Speaker 1>a April blocked Nvidia's juiciest AI hardware from heading East.

18
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>This is all part of a techno resources game. Just

19
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>after that, the US inc deals to secure rare earth minerals,

20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>keeping its supply chain spicy and out of Beijing's grip.

21
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>But wait, plot twist. Mere days ago, the US and

22
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>China shook hands on a surprise trade agreement, making it

23
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>less tortuous for American firms to import rare earth magnets

24
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and minerals from China. Expert William Bessent called it a

25
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 1>de escalation in strategic resources. But don't get too comfortable.

26
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>It's merely a trade ceasefire, not a tech truce. On

27
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 1>the legislative front, the US is fueling its science engine

28
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>with the Chips and Science Act, pouring cash into domestic

29
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>semiconductor innovation to outpace China's relentless push for tech self sufficiency.

30
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Congress is being urged to keep the NSF's tip director

31
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>at flush, hoping America doesn't lose the innovation sprint to Beijing.

32
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Now industry impacts, Chinese firms are scat rambling the block

33
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on electronic design automation EDA software has hit design cycles,

34
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>and losing access to those CFM engines could slow China's

35
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 1>dream of competing with Boeing and Airbus. On the US side,

36
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>select electronics think smartphones, SSDs, monitors just dodge Trump's one

37
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>hund and twenty five percent reciprocal tariff, but still face

38
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a twenty percent based tariff and a new fifty percent

39
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>hit on semiconductors. It's a tariff tangle that keeps both

40
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 1>sides guessing. As for cybersecurity, whispers on the wire say

41
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>both sides have stepped up their digital espionage, neither willing

42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to blink first. The strategic implication Tech isn't just business.

43
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 1>It's the new battlefield with chips, code and critical minerals

44
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>as ammunition. So what's next? Experts predict more targeted controls,

45
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 1>tense talks, and yes, a whole lot more drama. Buckle

46

<v Speaker 1>up because if you're following Beijing bytes, you know in
