00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, I'm ting and welcome to Beijing Bites, your

2
00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.799
<v Speaker 1>go to source for the latest US China tech war updates.

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's dive right. In the past two weeks have been

4
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a whirlwind of cybersecurity incidents, new tech restrictions, and policy

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>changes that are reshaping the landscape of US China technology competition.

6
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>Just a few days ago, the FBI and other US

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>federal agencies sounded the alarm on China's vult Typhoon crew,

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>which has been conducting reconnaissance and enumeration of American electric

9
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 1>companies since early twenty twenty three. This isn't your typical

10
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>cyber espionage. Vult Typhoon is pre positioning itself to disrupt

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>critical infrastructure and cause societal chaos. But that's not all.

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Another Beijing hacking unit, salt Typhoon, has broken into American

13
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>telecommunications networks in what's being called the worst telecom hack

14
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 1>in our nation's history. The attacks are ongoing, and we

15
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 1>still don't know the full scope of what they're doing,

16
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>as Jeff green, Sis, Executive Assistant director for Cybersecurity pointed

17
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>out one Meanwhile, the US China chip war is heating up.

18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>The US has imposed new restrictions on semiconductor exports to China,

19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.879
<v Speaker 1>targeting high bandwidth memory HBM sales. This move aims to

20
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 1>keep China at least two generations behind the curve, as

21
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Chinese manufacturers have not yet mastered HBM two E. Huawei's

22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>flagship AI processors, for instance, still rely on Samsung produced

23
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>HBM two E. The Chinese semiconductor industry is feeling the pinch,

24
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>with imports expanding ahead of new US restrictions. China imported

25
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 1>a total of five hundred one point four to seven

26
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>billion integrated circuits from January to November, up fourteen point

27
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 1>eight percent from the same period last year. However, experts

28
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>like Paul Triolo note that China is pushing forward with

29
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>its own semiconductor development, focusing on new design architectures and

30
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>microsystem integration two. The strategic implications of these developments are

31
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>far reaching. The US is trying to contain China's rise,

32
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>but Beijing views this as a whole of government effort

33
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to suppress its national strategy. The PRC is expanding its

34
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>domestic efforts to develop new capabilities and maintain independent supply chains,

35
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>as outlined in the latest military and security developments involving

36
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>the People's Republic of China report. As we head into

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, one thing is clear. The US China

38
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>tech war is only going to intensify. Stay tuned for

39
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>more updates from Beijing bites, and remember, in the world

40
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>of cybersecurity, vigilance is key. That's all for now, I'm
