Speaker 1: Pay listeners. It's ting here with beiging bites slicing straight
Speaker 1: into the hottest chips and coldest cyberplots from the US
Speaker 1: China tech standoff. Buckle up because the past two weeks
Speaker 1: have been all microchips and macro sabotage, with more plot
Speaker 1: twists than your favorite police drama. Let's start with the
Speaker 1: telecom bombshell out of New York. Federal investigators led by
Speaker 1: the U. S Secret Service just busted a massive plot
Speaker 1: tied to Chinese entities that were set to paralyze NYC's
Speaker 1: cell networks right before the United Nations General Assembly. Think
Speaker 1: underground sym farms over one hundred thousand cards hidden around
Speaker 1: Manhattan with enough juice to jam emergency calls, blitz cellular grids,
Speaker 1: and even enable cloak and daggers cybercoms. A b C
Speaker 1: News says these low tech weapons could have knocked out
Speaker 1: nine one one calls and first responders. The imagine trying
Speaker 1: to order a bagel and poof, your phone is down.
Speaker 1: It's a wake up call for telecom security, showcasing how
Speaker 1: every day can shape modern espionage and disrupt critical infrastructure
Speaker 1: during high states events. Shifting gears to the oxy tech war.
Speaker 1: It's no longer about who has the coolest phone, It's
Speaker 1: about who controls the brains of global AI. The US,
Speaker 1: still wielding its mighty Chips in Science Act, tightened export
Speaker 1: controls on advanced GPUs in semiconductor equipment to China yet again,
Speaker 1: with the Trump administration's latest AI Action plan, doubling down
Speaker 1: on reshoring efforts global foundaries through sixteen dollars billion at
Speaker 1: fabs in New York and Vermont, while Taiwan's t SMC
Speaker 1: became everyone's favorite date at the supply chain prong carefully
Speaker 1: guarding its silicon shield despite heavy American courtship, Taiwan rejected
Speaker 1: a split of chip production, keeping over ninety percent of
Speaker 1: the world's best processors on home turf. Talk about strategic leverage,
Speaker 1: no silicon, no AI, no fun. China not to be
Speaker 1: outflexed is turbochineaging domestic chip innovation under slogans like independent
Speaker 1: and Controllable and the new Big Fund three point zero.
Speaker 1: Companies like Huawei and SMI are cranking out credible seven
Speaker 1: NMT chips enough for most AI showdowns, while simultaneously flexing
Speaker 1: rare earth muscle by banning exports of gallium and germanium
Speaker 1: to the US. These minerals are like the yeast in
Speaker 1: your sour dough start absolutely essential, rarely appreciated, and not
Speaker 1: easily replaced. Meanwhile, China's AI scene is ablaze with homegrown alternatives,
Speaker 1: with ten Cent and byte Dance pushing home cooked models
Speaker 1: to chip away at American platform hegemony. Cybersecurity, oh boy,
Speaker 1: it's been a target rich environment. According to the EU
Speaker 1: Cyber Agency and EASER, Chinese linked groups are prowing European
Speaker 1: digital infrastructure, going after government networks and critical industries from
Speaker 1: Germany to Ireland. In the US, September alone saw three
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen ransomware victims, new actors like Arachna, Leak
Speaker 1: and lunar Lock popping up, and everything from government agencies
Speaker 1: to hospitals getting a taste of the dark web. It's
Speaker 1: not just the code, it's the geopolitics behind every single exploit,
Speaker 1: every server ping, every supply chain move. If you're looking
Speaker 1: for expert hot takes, nvidia's Jensen Hwine drops the mic
Speaker 1: by saying China's just nanoseconds behind in AI chips, while
Speaker 1: others worn we're witnessing the Balkanization of global tech, a
Speaker 1: new cold war in ones and zeros. No more rising
Speaker 1: tide lifts all boats. Now it's whose digital harbor are
Speaker 1: you anchored in? Looking ahead, expect more fragmentation. The AI
Speaker 1: Cold War and chip de coupling aren't just poly debates.
Speaker 1: They're the blueprint for the next decade of innovation, defense,
Speaker 1: and maybe even daily life. Neither side is blinking, and
Speaker 1: the rest of us we're just hoping our WiFi holds out.
