Speaker 1: Hey there, I'm ting and welcome to Beijing, bites. Let's
Speaker 1: dive straight into the latest U S China tech war updates.
Speaker 1: Over the past two weeks, we've seen significant developments in
Speaker 1: the US China technology competition. The US has finalized rules
Speaker 1: to ban Chinese and Russian tech in connected cars, citing
Speaker 1: national security risks. This move has been met with strong
Speaker 1: opposition from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which claims it
Speaker 1: violates market economy principles and fair competition. Meanwhile, China has
Speaker 1: announced export controls on twenty eight US companies, including defense
Speaker 1: giants Lockheed Martin and Boeing Defense, signaling an escalation in
Speaker 1: the trade war three. This comes as no surprise given
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric promising a tougher stance on China.
Speaker 1: In the realm of cybersecurity, researchers have uncovered major security
Speaker 1: flaws in Alumina isec one hundred DNA sequencers, which could
Speaker 1: threaten critical genetic research and vaccine development five. Additionally, Chinese
Speaker 1: hackers have been implicated in a major treasury cyber attack,
Speaker 1: exploiting beyond trust API keys. The US has also introduced
Speaker 1: a stringent investment ban on China effective January twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: focusing on sensitive technologies like AI, semiconductors and quantum computing one.
Speaker 1: This move requires detailed due diligence from US investors and
Speaker 1: marks a turning point in economic statecraft, where investment flows
Speaker 1: are increasingly scrutinized through a national security lens. Industry experts
Speaker 1: warn that these restrictions will significantly impact US investors and
Speaker 1: Chinese firms, especially in the affected sectors reshaping US China
Speaker 1: economic relations. Aram Zukersharf notes that the integration of economic
Speaker 1: and security strategies in shaping foreign investment policies is a
Speaker 1: growing trend. Looking ahead, we can expect the US China
Speaker 1: tech war to intensify. As Samuel Bendett and David Kirichenko
Speaker 1: point out, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has become a
Speaker 1: testing ground for autonomous systems, with many companies striving to
Speaker 1: gain battle tested credentials for their products too. This has
Speaker 1: significant implications for the future of warfare and global security.
Speaker 1: In conclusion, the past two weeks have seen a significant
Speaker 1: escalation in the US China tech war, with both nations
Speaker 1: imposing new restrictions and engaging in a game of tit
Speaker 1: for tat. As we move forward, it's essential to stay
Speaker 1: vigilant and monitor the evolving landscape of cybersecurity incidents, tech restrictions,
