00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, I'm ting and welcome to Beijing. Bites, your

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>go to source for the latest on the US China

3
00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>tech war. Let's dive right in, because the past two

4
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>weeks have been anything but quiet. First off, cybersecurity has

5
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>been a hot topic. The White House recently revealed that

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>at least eight US telecomfirms were hit by a Chinese

7
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>hacking campaign. Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Newburger shared that

8
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>this campaign gave Beijing access to private texts and phone

9
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 1>conversations of an unknown number of Americans, including senior US

10
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>government officials and prominent political figures. The FBI and the

11
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency have issued guidance to help

12
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>route these hackers and prevent similar cyber spionage in the future.

13
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>But that's not all. The US Department of the Treasury's

14
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Sichuan Silence Information Technology

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Company Limited and one of its employees, Guan Tianfeng, for

16
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 1>their roles in the April twenty twenty compromise of tens

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of firewalls worldwide, many of which belonged to

18
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>US critical infrastructure companies. Four On the tech restriction front,

19
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security

20
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>announced new rules to further restrict China's capability to produce

21
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>advanced node semiconductors for military applications. These rules include new

22
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>controls on twenty four types of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and

23
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 1>three types of software tools, as well as additions to

24
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the Entity List five. China hasn't taken these moves lightly.

25
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>In response to the US export controls, China has launched

26
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 1>investigations into Nvidia and restricted the export of critical materials,

27
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>escalating the tech War III. Looking at the bigger picture,

28
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 1>National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan recently discussed the future of

29
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>US China relations, emphasizing the importance of military to military

30
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 1>communication and the nun need to manage the risks of

31
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>artificial intelligence. He noted that while there will be times

32
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>of tension, the US is ready to coordinate on various

33
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>global issues, including climate, health, security, and macroeconomic stability. So

34
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 1>what does this mean for both nations? The tech war

35
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>is heating up, with cybersecurity incidents and new tech restrictions

36
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>at the forefront. The strategic implications are significant as both

37
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>countries jockey for dominance in advanced technologies. As we move forward,

38
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>expect more tension and more surprises. But for now, that's

39
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>all for Beijing bites. Stay tuned for more updates on

40
