00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Listeners ting here and wow. Talk about a cyber roller

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>coaster these last two weeks. Buckle up as we bite

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.599
<v Speaker 1>into the latest on the US China tech war straight

4
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>from Beijing bites. Let's start with the biggest headline. Chinese

5
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>hackers have been running some wild, next level campaigns inside

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>US cybersecurity firms, SaaS providers and legal services. Google's threat

7
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Intelligence group A Mandiant uncovered the stealthy malware called Brickstorm

8
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>used by the China linked UNC five two one group.

9
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the catch these TSIO eight has the digital ichocal

10
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>case bulkis target a n and this is not just

11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>industrial espionage, its national security, with the hackers digging for

12
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>info tied to US defense and international trade. If you're

13
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>a US tech or legal outfit, check your logs. You

14
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>might not even know if you're a victim. In the

15
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>policy sphere, President Trump's administration is not holding back. We're

16
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing new restrictions slamming the brakes on products with vehicle

17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>connectivity systems linked to China, aiming to block any tech

18
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that could send sensitive data across the Pacific. The implications

19
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>range from car makers like Ford and Tesla grappling with

20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>compliance to Chinese giants, such as byd rethinking international supply chains.

21
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>The end, the traders are industries of national run a

22
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 1>curveball from Beijing. Premier Li Chang just announced China will

23
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 1>stop claiming Developing Nation pecks at the World Trade Organization

24
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>after years of US pressure. China is ditching special benefits

25
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 1>that allowed more time for implementing trade reforms and lower

26
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>market opening quotas. Wto Director General nosey okonjo Iweala called

27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>this move major news, but don't break out the confetti

28
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>just yet. Wendy Cutler from Asia Society says it's years

29
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>too late and won't change the des rooted trade friction overnight.

30
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Chinese exports keep climbing tariffs or not, and Nischengang wasted

31
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 1>no time accusing Washington of unilateralism and protectionism. Strategically, let's

32
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>talk Ai, because China is now the undisputed heavyweight champ

33
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in AI research output. Deep Seek last year's launch kicked

34
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>off an avalanche. China leads in patents by a factor

35
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>of ten and generates more research than the US, EU

36
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and UK combined. The US is scrambling to secure research

37
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>pipelines and restrict collaboration with China based talent. For example,

38
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon is now banning US tech vendors from employing

39
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>anyone based in China for sensitive projects. Yugen Vastel at

40
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Digital Science warns that without sharper research intelligence and rigorous

41
00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>network mapping, America might be building its digital future on

42
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 1>shifting sands and did someone say batteries? China has weaponized

43
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>its battery supply chain dominance, leveraging state subsidies and price

44
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>manipulation to choke off US industrial resilience. Elaine Dezenski and

45
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Josh Burembaum from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies say

46
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 1>this hits America's military, supply chain and core industries. Think

47
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>he conveaves his his side. Experts see both countries doubling down,

48
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>China betting on AI and supply chain control, the US

49
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 1>raising regulatory walls and revamping research security. But with stealthy

50
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>new malware and shifting wto rules, the tech competition has

51
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>gone from trade war to a full on battle for

52
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 1>digital and strategic supremacy. Don't blink because the next zero

53
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 1>day could tip the balance. Thanks for tuning in listeners
