00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, tech enthusiasts ting here your friendly neighborhood China

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.719
<v Speaker 1>cyber guru. Buckle up for a roller coaster ride through

3
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>the latest US China tech showdown. So the past two

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 1>weeks have been absolute mayhem in the world of cybersecurity

5
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and tech. Let's start with the bombshell that dropped on

6
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>March fifth. The US Department of Justice indicted ten individuals

7
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and two Chinese government officials for their involvement in a

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>massive cyber espionage campaign. These hackers, linked to the infamous

9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Silk Typhoon group, didn't just stop at government agencies. They

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>went after everything from hospitals to news outlets. Talk about

11
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>casting a wide net, but wait, there's more. Remember that

12
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Treasury Department breach from last year. While it turns out

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>it was just the tip of the iceberg, the FEDS

14
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>revealed that Silk Typhoon had been playing hide and seek

15
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>in our networks for years, targeting critical infrastructure and defense contractors.

16
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:01.439
<v Speaker 1>It's like they were treating our systems like in all

17
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>you Can Hack buffet. Now, you'd think China would lay

18
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>low after getting caught with its hand in the digital

19
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>cookie jar. Right right, wrong. Beijing decided to fire back

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 1>with its own accusations, claiming that the US had been

21
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>conducting cyber attacks on Chinese tech firms since twenty twenty three.

22
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like watching two kids pointing fingers at each other

23
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 1>in the playground, except with potentially catastrophic consequences. Speaking of consequences,

24
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the elephant in the room. Deep Seek.

25
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>This Chinese AI startup has been giving Silicon Valley nightmares,

26
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and for good reason. There are One model is not

27
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>only incredibly efficient, but also dirt cheap to train. It's

28
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 1>got everyone from Open Ai Sam Altman to members of

29
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the US Senate sweating bullets. Some are even calling for

30
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the US to steal China's best AI talent to keep

31
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 1>up talk about a reverse brain drain. But it's not

32
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 1>all doom and gloom for Uncle Sam. The US has

33
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>been flexing its muscles too, with new export controls on

34
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>semiconductor manufacturing equipment and AI technologies. It's like they're trying

35
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to build a digital great wall to keep Chinese tech

36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 1>at bay. Meanwhile, the corporate world is caught in the crossfire.

37
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Companies like Astrozenica are hedging their bets, investing billions in

38
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>both the US and China. Others like IBM and Microsoft

39
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>are pulling back from the Middle Kingdom faster than you

40
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>can say trade war. So what's the forecast for this

41
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 1>tech typhoon? While experts are warning that if the US

42
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 1>and China don't find a way to play nice, we

43
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>could be setting science back by decades. Over thirty percent

44
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>of the US's high impact international research involves Chinese scientists.

45
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Cutting ties now would be like sawing off the branch

46
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>we're sitting on. As we look ahead, one thing's clear,

47
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 1>the US China tech war is far from over. With

48
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>both sides doubling down on their strategies. We're in for

49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 1>a wild ride. Will innovation triumph over containment. Only time

50
