00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Big week on the Beijing bites, So plug in listeners,

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.759
<v Speaker 1>because the US China tech war has truly entered beast mode.

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the bombshell. Over eight million Americans had

4
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.759
<v Speaker 1>their data leaked thanks to the Salt Typhoon cyber attack.

5
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes you heard that right. According to web pro News,

6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Chinese state sponsored hackers apparently waltzed into US telecom networks,

7
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>scooping up call records, personal messages, and geolocations, including those

8
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>of political heavy hitters. The attackers used zero day exploits

9
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 1>to dodge detection for months, turning outdated telecom systems into

10
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Swiss cheese. The result not just privacy nightmares, but real

11
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 1>headaches for national security. Think National Guard files and deployment

12
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>plans in hostile hands. SISA and the FBI have gone

13
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>into overdrive, pushing AI powered threat detection and organizing incident

14
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>response like its Defcon one. In the midst of this chaos,

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 1>President Biden's executive Order fourteen thousand, one hundred dred and

16
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>five is still the elephant tap dancing through the chip factory.

17
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>No more US cash for Chinese semis AI or quantum ventures.

18
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>The Treasury didn't just ban direct investments. They've clamped down

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>on debt, joint ventures and even those sneaky indirect deals.

20
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Over fifty Chinese tech firms, including Integrity Technology Group, have

21
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 1>been blacklisted over links to cyber attacks and military ops.

22
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>The net effect, Chinese firms are scrambling, especially in semiconductors

23
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and AI. They can't get US equipment, and AI's start

24
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>ups are being ghosted by Western investors. Sectors like autonomous

25
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>vehicles and drones are taking a direct hit, and the

26
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>tech top the vestiture drama remained stuck in political limbo,

27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>but plot twest while China's exports to the US created

28
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>by a mind melting seventy percent in August, Goldman Sax

29
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>points out China is still humming along, shipping tech to

30
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Europe and emerging markets. Asian neighbors like Taiwan and Vietnam

31
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>have filled the US gap, with Taiwan's exports, mostly advanced

32
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 1>chips and server parts, soaring thirty percent. Meanwhile, Huawe just

33
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 1>pulled a Houdini bypassing in Nvidia's chips with its own

34
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>breakthrough for AI, while ten Cent and Ali Baba are

35
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.719
<v Speaker 1>betting big on home GROMEI processes as China tries to

36
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 1>shake itself free from foreign tech dependencies. Then, on the

37
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>home front, Beijing fired back by launching an anti monopoly

38
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>probe into Nvidia Or. While Chinese agencies fast tracked new rules,

39
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the Cyberspace Administration of China unveiled a strict cybersecurity incident

40
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>reporting mandate to kick in by November, standardizing how companies

41
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>must confess breaches or face steep penalties. Analysts say these

42
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>salvos signal of full court decoupling. The US piles on

43
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 1>security rules like the Protecting America's Data from Foreign Adversaries

44
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Act forbidding sensitive info from going east, while Chinese regulators

45
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>titan data localization and reporting. Meanwhile, US cybersecurity firms are

46
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>popping champagne booz Allen Hamilton just landed a four hundred

47
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty one million dollars gig with Ceissa, and new government

48
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>tech contracts are in the billions. Strategic implications, the supply

49
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>chain shuffle is permanent. US investors are fleeing China facing tech,

50
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>flocking instead to secure software, supply chain risk mitigation and

51
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>any start up with quantum resistant in its pitch deck.

52
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Experts from South China Morning Post worn about retaliatory anti

53
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>dumping probes and tech substitution. But as long as the

54
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>cyber on slots keep hitting, lawmakers on both sides are

55
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 1>unlikely to blink. Looking forward, think tighter rules, faster retaliation,

56
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and a boom for quantum and AI security. Every day

57
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>were inching closer to a world where the wires between

58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Saken Valley and Junguan Cun might as well run through

59
