00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Listeners ting here with your hypercharged Beijing bites. Buckle up,

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>because US China tech tensions have just gone quantum. In

3
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks. Cyber warriors and policymakers on both

4
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>sides have gone from code read to code What the

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>heck just happened? Let's sip through the news. Last week,

6
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>every major cyber agency from the US to Australia put

7
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>out a panicked advisory about Chinese state sponsored hackers names

8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>like salt Typhoon pop up. These aren't pokemon. These are

9
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>threat actors burrowing their way across American telecoms, government, even utilities.

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency called out campaigns

11
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>targeting over two hundred organizations and warned that these apt

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>actors are executing a slow burn. How the actor's budget

13
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.799
<v Speaker 1>from typelins costs a single size post price to support

14
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>them the impact. Last year, seventy three percent of US

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>critical infrastructure organizations reported successful intrusions with breach costs averaging

16
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>five dollars and fifty six cents, and those numbers are

17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>still climbing. Water treatment plants, police systems, university servers. Nothing

18
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 1>is sacred. This is espionage. Tailor made for twenty twenty

19
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 1>five folks. Fresh off the policy assembly line, the Biden

20
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>administration revoked validated end User ve EU status for tech

21
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>giants Sansun and s k Heinex, making Korean chip operations

22
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 1>in China look shakier than a new Linux dro on

23
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>launch day. The revocation could hasten a split in the

24
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>global semiconductor chain that neither Soul nor Beijing wants to see,

25
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 1>and China not content to play Defense, is closing out

26
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>its fourteenth five year plan with a wild West flourish

27
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 1>expect to spike in AI powered fishing, zero day expoints

28
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>and stealth campaigns into Q four. If you work in

29
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>State IT anywhere in the US, now's the time to

30
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>audit your network twice and panic later. Meanwhile, European agencies

31
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>sound claxons about data transfers to China controlled territories. Czech

32
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>intelligence publicly named and shamed Chinese group APT three one

33
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>for attacks on their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the

34
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>National Cyber and Information Security Agency warns that the very

35
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>devices wiring up European critical sectors think smart meters, EV's

36
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 1>cloud servers could be quietly phone home tools for Beijing.

37
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.159
<v Speaker 1>Turning to high drama in hardware. A lavish Beijing military

38
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>parade yesterday was like China flexing its digital and kinetic

39
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 1>muscles for the world to see. With President Shijin Ping

40
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>declaring China will not be bullied and that it is

41
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>rejuvenating the nation, the message is not just for the

42
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>domestic crowd, but straight at Washington's strategic planners. Former China

43
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 1>correspondence remind us that the real signal is Beijing's intent

44
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>push the world towards a tech order less centered on

45
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the US more integrated with well Beijing on the industry front.

46
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Despite Ali Baba's rally wowing markets, global analysts like Investment

47
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Week point out that China remains a distant second to

48
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 1>the US in AI and especially semiconductor prowess. The US

49
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>holds the upper hand in critical chip manufacturing capabilities and

50
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>the weaponization of chip supply chains. Sanctions restrictions, the works

51
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 1>remains the favorite tool on both sides. Strategically, it's clear

52
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>both countries are preparing the ground for a drawn out

53
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 1>tech cold war. Experts forecast more targeted restrictions, more state

54
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>aligned cyber intramusions, and if geopolitical tensions spike over Taiwan

55
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>or the South China Sea. Expect hackers to play kingmakers,

56
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>not mere thieves. That's your whirlwind, bite sized scoop. Thank
