00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Listeners, buckle up, because I'm ting your high voltage tea

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>spilling guide to the US China tech war, where code

3
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>is sharper than swords and the stakes, oh, just global dominance.

4
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's dig into what's gone down these last two weeks,

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>because Beijing bites waits for no one. First up, the

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>shock wave called Salt Typhoon. Picture This a Chinese state

7
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>backed hacking campaign on international beast mode. According to the

8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>New York Times, and echoed by cyber agencies from the

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.039
<v Speaker 1>US to Poland. Salt Typhoon went well past the usual

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>digital peep show smagging call records, law enforcement notes, even

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>political communications. Not content to just eavesdrop. These hackers borrowed

12
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.359
<v Speaker 1>into power grids and telecom backbonds, embedding what experts now

13
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 1>believe could be destructive capabilities. The FBI and Justice Department

14
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>are basically waving red flags everywhere. This isn't cyber espionage

15
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 1>as usual. It's cyber chaos potential. If you've made a

16
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>phone call in America lately, you might be caught in

17
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>the net, and yes, that includes people in the White House. Meanwhile,

18
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>international nerves are twitching. The US National Security Agency and

19
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>more than twenty, top cyber agencies issued a blunt warning

20
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>about persistent Chinese state sponsored attacks. Salt Typhoon wasn't a

21
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>solo act. Groups like Operator Panda and Red Mic have

22
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 1>been running wild too. The Five Eyes Alliance and European

23
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>partners say in diplomatic speak, grace yourselves. Cyber defenses are

24
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>now mission critical. But wait, there's more. Washington just slid

25
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a new batch of tech restrictions onto the table. Think

26
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>tighter chip export bands. Nvidia and Ali Baba are nerve

27
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>watching their cross Pacific business dances in Nvidia's new Blackwell chips.

28
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Chronta wants them badly, but US policy is tightening the nozzle.

29
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>This is squeezing Chinese AI giants Baido, Byte Dance Ali Baba,

30
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 1>who are sprinting to design their own chips and AI

31
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure to avoid being left in the digital dust. In response,

32
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Beijing has rolled out a national action plan for tech

33
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>self sufficiency, soaring investment into domestic AI, five G and

34
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>semiconductor technologies. Huawei claimed an ecosystem entirely independent of the

35
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>United States. There's talk of supply chain fortresses for critical

36
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>telecommunications equipment and moves to take supply chain control from

37
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 1>Singapore to home turf, especially by players like Byte Dance

38
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 1>on the tit for tat front. Beijing slammed anti dumping

39
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>tariffs on US fiber optic products, a direct retaliation for

40
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>new American sanctions on Chinese chemicals. Meanwhile, the US Data

41
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Security Program kicked in for all American businesses, expanding export

42
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>controls into the digital realm. If your company's data crosses borders, congratulations,

43
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>you're in the regulatory crosshairs. On the industry side, impacts

44
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>are rippling byd China's ev Darling may slash annual sales targets,

45
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>signaling that even mainland demand is feeling the squeeze from

46
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 1>global trade headwinds and tech wars. AI is the big

47
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>exception here. Sence Time and bay Dou both announced scorching growth,

48
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 1>fueled by surging demand for China native AI models and

49
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a new homegrown page computing platform. So what's next. On

50
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Ting's forecast, the rules of global AI, data and chips

51
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>are being rewritten, a cross fire walls and sanctions. Expect

52
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>China to double down on homegrown innovation and the US

53
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to keep tightening the screws on tech exports and data sovereignty.

54
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 1>As one expert put it, this isn't a cold war.

55
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a code war, and it's getting hotter by the day.
