Speaker 1: Hey listeners, ting here with your essential Beijing bites, zooming
Speaker 1: in on the latest from the relentless US China tech slugfest.
Speaker 1: Buckle up, because the last two weeks have been a
Speaker 1: master class in digital maneuvering, innovation, jiu jitsu, and yep,
Speaker 1: good old fashioned hacking wars first cyber chaos booze. Alan
Speaker 1: Hamilton just dropped a bombshell report dissecting how Beijing isn't
Speaker 1: just hacking for sport, it's building a permanent cyber powered advantage.
Speaker 1: The playbook adopting AI supercharging for everything from reconnaissance to
Speaker 1: exploit development, targeting not just the US, but five hours allies,
Speaker 1: and even embedding itself in the supply chains. If you're
Speaker 1: thinking this means sneaky Chinese hardware lurking in US power
Speaker 1: grids in ports, you're absolutely right. The report points out
Speaker 1: that whole swathes of critical infrastructure in the US are
Speaker 1: running on PRC made routers or cranes, some with back
Speaker 1: doors so subtle even savvy sis edmunds might miss them.
Speaker 1: It's all part of an organized, national level effort that
Speaker 1: makes your average ransomware gang look like script kiddies. Want
Speaker 1: another flavor of cyber mischief. Enter uat GUSH eight zero
Speaker 1: nine nine, the globe trotting Chinese cybercrime group uncovered in
Speaker 1: April this year. According to Cisco, Tolos and e S,
Speaker 1: these folks don't just hack, They hijack Microsoft servers, manipulate
Speaker 1: search engine rankings, and swipe high value cudentials, affecting universities,
Speaker 1: tech firms, and even telecom giants across Brazil, India and Vietnam.
Speaker 1: If you notice bizarre SEO spikes, it's not just Google
Speaker 1: playing games. Now onto the tech restrictions carousel. US export
Speaker 1: bands on advanced chips keep tightening, with Nvidia caught in
Speaker 1: the vice grip. Beijing apparently unamused, has counted by banning
Speaker 1: the purchase of Nvidia's China custom A eight hundred chips
Speaker 1: by key local firms. And here's the kicker. Nvidia must
Speaker 1: now hand fifty seen percent of certain China AI chip
Speaker 1: revenues to Uncle Sam, a move that did not make
Speaker 1: Jensen Huin's week. Nvidia's still the MVP for AI training globally,
Speaker 1: but as ifl t k's chen Cheng Chici equipped, they're
Speaker 1: switching to Huale chips the new local champion to dodge
Speaker 1: US controls. Meanwhile, Washington's not just looking at semiconductor bands.
Speaker 1: The FCC, prodded by Think tanks, is pushing to titan
Speaker 1: restrictions on any foreign owned, red Chinese owned, or CCP
Speaker 1: influenced gear in US networks, aiming to close those legal
Speaker 1: gray areas where China's national intelligence law might force commercial
Speaker 1: partners to place by on demand zooming out. Let's hit
Speaker 1: the industry impact China's fire house of investment THINK fourteen
Speaker 1: five year plan and It's Made in China two thousand,
Speaker 1: twenty five Predecessor is about more than factories in code.
Speaker 1: It's a strategic push for tech sovereignty, flooding R and
Speaker 1: D into chips and AI to reduce reliance on US
Speaker 1: tech and future prove Chinese industry against sanctions. And this
Speaker 1: sworn catching in Nvidia is still a moon shot. High
Speaker 1: bandwidth memory and system packaging remains sole crushingly hard, but
Speaker 1: even incremental progress means China chips away at dependency and
Speaker 1: boosts resilience strategically where seeing a grind, the US is
Speaker 1: sprinting to cordon off its high ground, while China is
Speaker 1: laser focused on eroding that advantage, one edge device and
Speaker 1: zero day at a time. Expect the new fifteen five
Speaker 1: year plan set for twenty twenty six to double down
Speaker 1: on domestic tech self reliance and global market expansion, likely
Speaker 1: reshuffling alliances and trade routes in ways we're only starting
Speaker 1: to grasp. Expert watchers agree the tech war isn't producing
Speaker 1: Hollywood fireworks, but a marathon of steady strategic erosion. Every
Speaker 1: chip shipment blocked, every server infiltrated, mattering more than yesterday's
Speaker 1: news cycle. This right now is when tomorrow's superpower status
Speaker 1: is being coded, hacked, and exported, one innovation or intrusion
Speaker 1: at a time. Thanks for tuning in to beaging bites.
