00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey listeners, ting here with your essential Beijing bites, zooming

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>in on the latest from the relentless US China tech slugfest.

3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Buckle up, because the last two weeks have been a

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>master class in digital maneuvering, innovation, jiu jitsu, and yep,

5
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>good old fashioned hacking wars first cyber chaos booze. Alan

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton just dropped a bombshell report dissecting how Beijing isn't

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.879
<v Speaker 1>just hacking for sport, it's building a permanent cyber powered advantage.

8
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>The playbook adopting AI supercharging for everything from reconnaissance to

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>exploit development, targeting not just the US, but five hours allies,

10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and even embedding itself in the supply chains. If you're

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking this means sneaky Chinese hardware lurking in US power

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 1>grids in ports, you're absolutely right. The report points out

13
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that whole swathes of critical infrastructure in the US are

14
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>running on PRC made routers or cranes, some with back

15
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>doors so subtle even savvy sis edmunds might miss them.

16
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>It's all part of an organized, national level effort that

17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>makes your average ransomware gang look like script kiddies. Want

18
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 1>another flavor of cyber mischief. Enter uat GUSH eight zero

19
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>nine nine, the globe trotting Chinese cybercrime group uncovered in

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>April this year. According to Cisco, Tolos and e S,

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>these folks don't just hack, They hijack Microsoft servers, manipulate

22
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>search engine rankings, and swipe high value cudentials, affecting universities,

23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>tech firms, and even telecom giants across Brazil, India and Vietnam.

24
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>If you notice bizarre SEO spikes, it's not just Google

25
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>playing games. Now onto the tech restrictions carousel. US export

26
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>bands on advanced chips keep tightening, with Nvidia caught in

27
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the vice grip. Beijing apparently unamused, has counted by banning

28
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>the purchase of Nvidia's China custom A eight hundred chips

29
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>by key local firms. And here's the kicker. Nvidia must

30
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 1>now hand fifty seen percent of certain China AI chip

31
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>revenues to Uncle Sam, a move that did not make

32
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Jensen Huin's week. Nvidia's still the MVP for AI training globally,

33
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 1>but as ifl t k's chen Cheng Chici equipped, they're

34
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>switching to Huale chips the new local champion to dodge

35
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>US controls. Meanwhile, Washington's not just looking at semiconductor bands.

36
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>The FCC, prodded by Think tanks, is pushing to titan

37
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>restrictions on any foreign owned, red Chinese owned, or CCP

38
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>influenced gear in US networks, aiming to close those legal

39
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>gray areas where China's national intelligence law might force commercial

40
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>partners to place by on demand zooming out. Let's hit

41
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the industry impact China's fire house of investment THINK fourteen

42
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 1>five year plan and It's Made in China two thousand,

43
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty five Predecessor is about more than factories in code.

44
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a strategic push for tech sovereignty, flooding R and

45
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>D into chips and AI to reduce reliance on US

46
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>tech and future prove Chinese industry against sanctions. And this

47
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>sworn catching in Nvidia is still a moon shot. High

48
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>bandwidth memory and system packaging remains sole crushingly hard, but

49
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>even incremental progress means China chips away at dependency and

50
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>boosts resilience strategically where seeing a grind, the US is

51
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>sprinting to cordon off its high ground, while China is

52
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 1>laser focused on eroding that advantage, one edge device and

53
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>zero day at a time. Expect the new fifteen five

54
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>year plan set for twenty twenty six to double down

55
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>on domestic tech self reliance and global market expansion, likely

56
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>reshuffling alliances and trade routes in ways we're only starting

57
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to grasp. Expert watchers agree the tech war isn't producing

58
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood fireworks, but a marathon of steady strategic erosion. Every

59
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>chip shipment blocked, every server infiltrated, mattering more than yesterday's

60
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>news cycle. This right now is when tomorrow's superpower status

61
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is being coded, hacked, and exported, one innovation or intrusion

62
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 1>at a time. Thanks for tuning in to beaging bites.
