00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Hey, listeners, it's ting with Beijing bites, bringing you the

2
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>real juice on the US China tech war, and wow,

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks have been a full stack of drama,

4
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>code and geopolitics. Strap in, because whether you're a cyber fan,

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a policy junkie, or just here for the chip gossip,

6
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.839
<v Speaker 1>you'll want to catch every update. Let me cut straight

7
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to the big hack attacks. According to the China Cyberspaceed

8
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Security Association, over six hundred advanced persistent threat or APT

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>attacks targeted Chinese institutions this year, with most trased back

10
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 1>to foreign groups launching from places like Germany, South Korea, Singapore,

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>and the Netherlands. Go Jiakun, China's Foreign ministry spokesperson, pointed

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>fingers directly at the United States, saying Uncle Sam's been

13
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.159
<v Speaker 1>moonlighting as a global botnet wrangler, using friends servers to

14
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>poke at Chinese critical infrastructure. Beijing's official line cybersecurity is

15
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>a common challenge translation, back off and let's talk before

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we all end up fighting malware, not each other. But

17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>don't for a second think the US is kicking back.

18
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Congress is in a panic because the Cybersecurity Information Sharing

19
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Act SEASI twenty fifteen is about to expire at the

20
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>end of this month. For a decade, it's been the

21
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>encrypted email thread between Washington and the private sector to

22
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>spot and stop China's hackers. Ever since, infamous operations like

23
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>fault Typhoon and the OPM personnel file megabreach with CISA

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 1>on the brink, security hawks are warning we risk flying blind,

25
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>just as Chinese cyberespionage is at full throttle and private

26
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>companies are left of freshing firewalls like it's a competitive

27
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>sport and then oh the chips. In a move that

28
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>belongs in a season finale, President Trump's administration tightened the

29
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>screws with export restrictions on advanced AI and semiconductor tech,

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>blocklisting scores of Chinese entities, and throttling China's access to

31
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the GPUs that drive military, AI and economic growth. Yet

32
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>in August, plot Twist, ENVDA and AMD broke it of

33
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>fifteen percent revenue share deal with Washington, letting some specialized

34
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 1>AI chips slip through in exchange for more paperwork and

35
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>less uncertainty. Meanwhile, the earlier ban on key chip design

36
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>software got lifted, so Cadence, Synopsis, and Siemens are back

37
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to selling EDA tools to China, at least for now.

38
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>This tug of war is sending industry heavyweights into a

39
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>tail spin. Shares of Synopsis performed a nosedive thanks to

40
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>lost Chinese sales, Dell is axing China jobs, and US

41
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>pressure is forcing global tech firms to rethink their China

42
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>exposure from hardware to the cloud. But resilient as ever,

43
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>China's not watching. Beijing's beefing up its own chip industry

44
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 1>with a new three billion dollars integrated circuit venture from YMCC,

45
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and cities like guen Zoo are now opening dedicated AI

46
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>bureaus because why not turn every municipality into an AI powerhouse.

47
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Experts warn that this game of sanctions and counter sanctions

48
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>is likely to keep splitting the world's tech landscape. You'll

49
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>see a US led digital block and a China centric one,

50
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 1>both racing to define the next decade of AI five

51
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>G and cybersecurity. As for the short term outlook, let's

52
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>call it chaotic equilibrium, both sides circling each other, plotting

53
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>hard but not yet ready to unplug the world. Thanks
