Speaker 1: Listeners, buckle up, because I'm ting your high voltage tea
Speaker 1: spilling guide to the US China tech war, where code
Speaker 1: is sharper than swords and the stakes, oh, just global dominance.
Speaker 1: Let's dig into what's gone down these last two weeks,
Speaker 1: because Beijing bites waits for no one. First up, the
Speaker 1: shock wave called Salt Typhoon. Picture This a Chinese state
Speaker 1: backed hacking campaign on international beast mode. According to the
Speaker 1: New York Times, and echoed by cyber agencies from the
Speaker 1: US to Poland. Salt Typhoon went well past the usual
Speaker 1: digital peep show smagging call records, law enforcement notes, even
Speaker 1: political communications. Not content to just eavesdrop. These hackers borrowed
Speaker 1: into power grids and telecom backbonds, embedding what experts now
Speaker 1: believe could be destructive capabilities. The FBI and Justice Department
Speaker 1: are basically waving red flags everywhere. This isn't cyber espionage
Speaker 1: as usual. It's cyber chaos potential. If you've made a
Speaker 1: phone call in America lately, you might be caught in
Speaker 1: the net, and yes, that includes people in the White House. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: international nerves are twitching. The US National Security Agency and
Speaker 1: more than twenty, top cyber agencies issued a blunt warning
Speaker 1: about persistent Chinese state sponsored attacks. Salt Typhoon wasn't a
Speaker 1: solo act. Groups like Operator Panda and Red Mic have
Speaker 1: been running wild too. The Five Eyes Alliance and European
Speaker 1: partners say in diplomatic speak, grace yourselves. Cyber defenses are
Speaker 1: now mission critical. But wait, there's more. Washington just slid
Speaker 1: a new batch of tech restrictions onto the table. Think
Speaker 1: tighter chip export bands. Nvidia and Ali Baba are nerve
Speaker 1: watching their cross Pacific business dances in Nvidia's new Blackwell chips.
Speaker 1: Chronta wants them badly, but US policy is tightening the nozzle.
Speaker 1: This is squeezing Chinese AI giants Baido, Byte Dance Ali Baba,
Speaker 1: who are sprinting to design their own chips and AI
Speaker 1: infrastructure to avoid being left in the digital dust. In response,
Speaker 1: Beijing has rolled out a national action plan for tech
Speaker 1: self sufficiency, soaring investment into domestic AI, five G and
Speaker 1: semiconductor technologies. Huawei claimed an ecosystem entirely independent of the
Speaker 1: United States. There's talk of supply chain fortresses for critical
Speaker 1: telecommunications equipment and moves to take supply chain control from
Speaker 1: Singapore to home turf, especially by players like Byte Dance
Speaker 1: on the tit for tat front. Beijing slammed anti dumping
Speaker 1: tariffs on US fiber optic products, a direct retaliation for
Speaker 1: new American sanctions on Chinese chemicals. Meanwhile, the US Data
Speaker 1: Security Program kicked in for all American businesses, expanding export
Speaker 1: controls into the digital realm. If your company's data crosses borders, congratulations,
Speaker 1: you're in the regulatory crosshairs. On the industry side, impacts
Speaker 1: are rippling byd China's ev Darling may slash annual sales targets,
Speaker 1: signaling that even mainland demand is feeling the squeeze from
Speaker 1: global trade headwinds and tech wars. AI is the big
Speaker 1: exception here. Sence Time and bay Dou both announced scorching growth,
Speaker 1: fueled by surging demand for China native AI models and
Speaker 1: a new homegrown page computing platform. So what's next. On
Speaker 1: Ting's forecast, the rules of global AI, data and chips
Speaker 1: are being rewritten, a cross fire walls and sanctions. Expect
Speaker 1: China to double down on homegrown innovation and the US
Speaker 1: to keep tightening the screws on tech exports and data sovereignty.
Speaker 1: As one expert put it, this isn't a cold war.
Speaker 1: It's a code war, and it's getting hotter by the day.
