00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Pay listeners. It's ting here with beiging bites slicing straight

2
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.639
<v Speaker 1>into the hottest chips and coldest cyberplots from the US

3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>China tech standoff. Buckle up because the past two weeks

4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>have been all microchips and macro sabotage, with more plot

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 1>twists than your favorite police drama. Let's start with the

6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>telecom bombshell out of New York. Federal investigators led by

7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the U. S Secret Service just busted a massive plot

8
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>tied to Chinese entities that were set to paralyze NYC's

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>cell networks right before the United Nations General Assembly. Think

10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>underground sym farms over one hundred thousand cards hidden around

11
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Manhattan with enough juice to jam emergency calls, blitz cellular grids,

12
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>and even enable cloak and daggers cybercoms. A b C

13
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>News says these low tech weapons could have knocked out

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>nine one one calls and first responders. The imagine trying

15
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>to order a bagel and poof, your phone is down.

16
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a wake up call for telecom security, showcasing how

17
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>every day can shape modern espionage and disrupt critical infrastructure

18
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>during high states events. Shifting gears to the oxy tech war.

19
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>It's no longer about who has the coolest phone, It's

20
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>about who controls the brains of global AI. The US,

21
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>still wielding its mighty Chips in Science Act, tightened export

22
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>controls on advanced GPUs in semiconductor equipment to China yet again,

23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>with the Trump administration's latest AI Action plan, doubling down

24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>on reshoring efforts global foundaries through sixteen dollars billion at

25
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 1>fabs in New York and Vermont, while Taiwan's t SMC

26
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 1>became everyone's favorite date at the supply chain prong carefully

27
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>guarding its silicon shield despite heavy American courtship, Taiwan rejected

28
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>a split of chip production, keeping over ninety percent of

29
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 1>the world's best processors on home turf. Talk about strategic leverage,

30
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>no silicon, no AI, no fun. China not to be

31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>outflexed is turbochineaging domestic chip innovation under slogans like independent

32
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and Controllable and the new Big Fund three point zero.

33
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Companies like Huawei and SMI are cranking out credible seven

34
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 1>NMT chips enough for most AI showdowns, while simultaneously flexing

35
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 1>rare earth muscle by banning exports of gallium and germanium

36
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>to the US. These minerals are like the yeast in

37
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>your sour dough start absolutely essential, rarely appreciated, and not

38
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>easily replaced. Meanwhile, China's AI scene is ablaze with homegrown alternatives,

39
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>with ten Cent and byte Dance pushing home cooked models

40
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 1>to chip away at American platform hegemony. Cybersecurity, oh boy,

41
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>it's been a target rich environment. According to the EU

42
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Cyber Agency and EASER, Chinese linked groups are prowing European

43
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>digital infrastructure, going after government networks and critical industries from

44
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Germany to Ireland. In the US, September alone saw three

45
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirteen ransomware victims, new actors like Arachna, Leak

46
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and lunar Lock popping up, and everything from government agencies

47
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>to hospitals getting a taste of the dark web. It's

48
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>not just the code, it's the geopolitics behind every single exploit,

49
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>every server ping, every supply chain move. If you're looking

50
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>for expert hot takes, nvidia's Jensen Hwine drops the mic

51
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>by saying China's just nanoseconds behind in AI chips, while

52
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>others worn we're witnessing the Balkanization of global tech, a

53
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>new cold war in ones and zeros. No more rising

54
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>tide lifts all boats. Now it's whose digital harbor are

55
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>you anchored in? Looking ahead, expect more fragmentation. The AI

56
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>Cold War and chip de coupling aren't just poly debates.

57
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>They're the blueprint for the next decade of innovation, defense,

58
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>and maybe even daily life. Neither side is blinking, and

59
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us we're just hoping our WiFi holds out.

60
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 1>That's the bite sized drama for this edition of Beijing
