00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're tech enthusiasts. Ting here your go to gal

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:07.679
<v Speaker 1>for all things China, cyber and hacking. Buckle up because

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>the US China tech war has been on fire these

4
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>past two weeks, and I've got the hottest updates for you.

5
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 1>So picture this. Trump's back in the White House and

6
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>he's not wasting any time. On March third, he slapped

7
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>a twenty percent tariff on Chinese goods, citing the fentanyl

8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>crisis as the reason. Beijing didn't take that lying down.

9
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>The very next day, they hit back with tariffs on

10
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>US agricultural products. It's like watching a high stakes ping

11
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>pong match, but with billions of dollars on the line.

12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.759
<v Speaker 1>But wait, there's more. The US Department of Commerce decided

13
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to join the party by adding eighty entities to the

14
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>entity list. Their goal to restrict China's access to high

15
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>performance computing and quantum technologies. It's like they're trying to

16
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>build a digital great wall around America's tech. Now, let's

17
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>talk cyber shenanigans. The Justice Department dropped a bombshell, charging

18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>twelve Chinese nationals in a massive hacking operation. These guys

19
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>were allegedly working for the Ministry of Public Security and

20
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 1>a company called I Soon talk about a bad day

21
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>at the office. They're accused of targeting everything from government

22
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 1>agencies to religious organizations. It's like they were playing a

23
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 1>global game of hack a mole. But China's not just

24
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>sitting back and taking it. They've beefed up their anti

25
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>foreign Sanctions law, giving themselves more power to seize assets

26
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and restrict activities of foreign entities. It's like they're saying,

27
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 1>two can play at this game, Uncle Sam. In the

28
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>corporate world, Apple's Tim Cook made a surprise visit to

29
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>China announcing a four point one million dollar donation to

30
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Xijiang University. Some experts are raising eyebrows, calling it an

31
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>indirect donation to the Chinese Communist Party. Talk about walking

32
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 1>a tightrope. Meanwhile, the FCC is playing detective investigating Chinese

33
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 1>cup companies suspected of selling banned equipment in the US.

34
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 1>It's like a high tech game of hide and seek

35
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>with national security at stake. But here's the kicker. A

36
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 1>report from bitsite revealed that one third of the US

37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>supply chain relies on software or services from companies designated

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>as Chinese military companies by the US Defense Department talk

39
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>about awkward looking ahead. Experts are predicting more turbulence. The

40
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>tech decoupling between the US and China is likely to accelerate,

41
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>with both sides doubling down on their respective strategies. We

42
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>might see more restrictions on AI and quantum computing, increased

43
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>scrutiny of cross border investments, and a continued battle for

44
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>dominance in emerging technologies. One thing's for sure, this tech

45
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>war is far from over. It's like we're watching a

46
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 1>high stakes chess game where each move could reshape the

47
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>global tech landscape. So keep your eyes peeled and your

48
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>firewalls up, because in this digital age, the next big

49
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>hack or breakthrough could be just around the corner. This

50
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>is ting signing off and reminding you in the world

51
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of tech, the only constant is change. Thanks for listening.
