00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, tech enthusiasts, it's ting here, your friendly neighborhood

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>China and cyber expert coming at you with the latest

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.960
<v Speaker 1>scoop on the US China tech tussle. Buckle up, because

4
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks have been a wild ride in

5
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>the digital domain. Let's kick things off with a bang,

6
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 1>or should I say a hack. The infamous Chinese hacker

7
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.760
<v Speaker 1>group Salt Typhoon has been up to their old tricks again,

8
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>this time targeting telecom companies across the globe. According to

9
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>recorded futures Insect group, these digital desperadoes compromised five more

10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>telecom providers, including two in the US, by exploiting unpatched

11
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Cisco edge devices. Talk about a salty situation. But wait,

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 1>there's more. The US Department of Justice dropped a bombshell

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>charging twelve Chinese nationals in a state backed hacking campaign.

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>These cyber ninjas, some working for a company called I Soon,

15
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>were allegedly conducting espionage operations at the behest of China's

16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of State Security. Looks

17
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>like the Great Firewall isn't just for keeping information in,

18
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>It's for sending hackers out too. On the policy front.

19
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>President Trump has been busy wielding his tariff hammer. He's

20
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 1>threatening to slap an additional ten percent tariff on Chinese goods,

21
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>bringing the total to a whopping twenty percent. It's like

22
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>a game of economic whack a mole, but with real

23
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>world consequences. The tech industry is bracing for impact, with

24
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>concerns that this could disrupt global supply chains and innovation.

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of innovation, China's artificial intelligence scene is buzzing with

26
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>excitement after the success of deep Seek, their homegrown large

27
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>language model. It's giving American tech giants a run for

28
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>their money, causing quite a stir in Silicon Valley. The

29
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 1>US is feeling the heat, with some senators even suggesting

30
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>we should steal China's best AI talent. Talk about a

31
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>reverse brain drain. But it's not all doom and gloom

32
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 1>for Uncle Sam. The US is beefing up its military

33
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.879
<v Speaker 1>partnership with Japan, aiming to counter Chinese aggression in the region.

34
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced an upgrade of the US

35
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Military Command in Japan to a new warfighting headquarters. Looks

36
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like the chessboard of geopolitics just got a new piece. Meanwhile,

37
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>China's flexing its military muscles too, launching large scale drills

38
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>around Taiwan. It's like a high stakes game of risk,

39
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>but with real ships and planes. The Chinese military says

40
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a severe warning against Taiwan's independence aspirations talk about

41
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>sending a message. So what's the forecast for this tech typhoon?

42
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Experts predict continued turbulence in US China relations, with cybersecurity

43
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 1>and AI likely to be the main battlegrounds. The race

44
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>for technological supremacy is heating up, and neither side shows

45
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 1>signs of backing down. As we navigate these choppy waters.

46
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>One thing's for sure, the tech world is in for

47
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>an exciting ride. Keep your firewalls up and your innovation

48

<v Speaker 1>engines running, folks. This is ting signing off from the

49
