00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Hey everyone, ting here your byte sized brainiac bringing you

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the latest on the US China tech war from Beijing.

3
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Bytes strap in. Because the past two weeks have been

4
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>a high speed, low latency roller coaster across the cyber

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>and silicon front lines, let's kick off with the hot wire.

6
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Just last week, the US Commerce Department dropped the hammer

7
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 1>on China. Orders went out to American firms like Synopsis, Cadence,

8
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and Siemens DA, big names if you care about the

9
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>tiny stuff, like say every chip in every modern device

10
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to halt exports of critical Electronic Design Automation software or

11
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>EDA to Chinese customers. These aren't just mundane programs. EDA

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>tools are the backbone for designing advanced semiconductors, and the

13
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>US action hit the stock prices hard before they partially

14
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 1>bounced back. According to trend Force, China accounted for roughly

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen percent of Synopsis and twelve percent of Cadence's EDA

16
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 1>sales in twenty twenty four. So this move is more

17
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.159
<v Speaker 1>than a slap on the wrist. It's a full on

18
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>chokehold on R and D in both capitals. Trump. Yes,

19
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>he's back, and not just with more tweets. He doubled

20
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>down on tariffs too. Steel and aluminum tariffs just got

21
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>jacked up to fifty percent plus. New rounds of restrictions

22
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>now cover not only AI chips, Nvidia gear, and semiconductor

23
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 1>chemicals like butane and ethane, but also jet engines. The

24
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>US is revoking previously granted licenses and even student visas,

25
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>casting a pretty wide net. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce

26
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>called foul, saying these moves gut diplomatic progress and hit

27
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>China's legitimate rights and interests. On the other side, Beijing

28
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>isn't exactly blinking. Chinese giants think SMIC and chips and

29
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence are ramping up self reliance.

30
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 1>For every US export ban, new funding and bilocal initiatives emerge,

31
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>pivoting toward homegrown alternatives and seeking fresh markets Across Southeast

32
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Asia and Africa. The impact global supply chains are getting

33
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 1>another stress test. Semiconductor fragmentation is now the new normal,

34
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>with smaller countries caught in the crossfire having to pick

35
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a side or risk being left behind entirely. The ripple

36
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>effects go beyond chips. Think electric vehicles, smart tech, and

37
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 1>industrial robotics. Where China is flexing for pole position and

38
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the US is scrambling to hold ground. Expert analysis is blunt.

39
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>The US China tech war isn't just about who launches

40
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the faster AI or builds the best chip. It's about

41
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>global dominance and shaping the rules for everyone else. The

42
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 1>recent dial back in tariff tit for tat after talks

43
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>between Trump and Chi hints at a willingness to avoid

44
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>outright economic meltdown, but don't mistake that for peace. The

45
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>strategic competition is set to escalate, with both sides doubling

46
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>down on domestic innovation, security hardening, and forming new tech alliances.

47
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Looking ahead, expect further decoupling, sharper cyber maneuvers, and a

48
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>drag race for leadership in AI, five G and quantum computing.

49
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>As for your gadgets, don't be surprised if future updates

50
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>depend on which side of the firewall you live. That's

51
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>your Beijing bite from ting, where the only thing changing

52
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>faster than technology is the global tech order itself. See
