00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>It's ting here, bringing you the inside scoop on beiging bites,

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>US China tech war updates and all boy has the

3
00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>past couple of weeks been a front row seat to

4
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>global cyber drama. Grab your popcorn. This script's hotter than

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 1>a red hot GPU. First cyber mayhem took center stage

6
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>a coordinated Chinese cyber attack called Salt Typhoon. Salt Typhoon

7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a little drizzle. Experts say this assault targeted critical

8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>telecommunications infrastructure across eighty countries, amassing personal and sensitive data,

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>possibly on newly every American security officials called it unrestrained,

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 1>with the scope only now coming to light after years

11
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 1>of patient infiltration. The FBI in US Capitol police are

12
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>busy tracing clever impersonator emails sent from a foul Congressman

13
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:58.799
<v Speaker 1>John Mulina to U S trade groups trying to fish

14
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.679
<v Speaker 1>for legislative secrets, just days ahead of crucial trade talks

15
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>in Stockholm. The payload sophisticated malware traced to APT four one,

16
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>a flagship Chinese state linked hacking crew. If opened, these

17
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>e mails would have handed Chinese spies a portal into

18
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>US negotiations. Think Mission impossible, but with more email and

19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>less tom cruise, the trend behind a carnage cyber attacks

20
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>have practically doubled Since twenty twenty three. Chinese state hackers

21
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>no longer work alone private firm Zaka's force multipliers for

22
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Beijing's ambitions, all thanks to twenty seventeen's National Intelligence Law ODESSA.

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>In the narrative is the Shinhai contractor I soon outed

24
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four for running a cyber espionage factory,

25
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>giving us a rare glimpse into the marriage of state

26
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>and private cyber muscle. Now on to the silicon skirmish.

27
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Chip controls are back in the headlines. Washington's export controls

28
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>are no band aid. These are surgical strikes designed to

29
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>keep China away from power AI chips, neural networks, and

30
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>advanced memory. A new deal last month allowed Nvidia and

31
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>AMD to sell lesser chips to China for a price

32
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>the U S Government pockets fifteen percent of sales, a

33
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>spicy compromise after six years of ever tightening controls, But

34
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 1>the Semiconductor Industry Association is lobbying hard against any tougher restrictions,

35
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>worried about locking out American firms from a billion customer

36
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>market and losing the innovation race. There's more policy churn.

37
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>America wants to switch Samsung and s k Heinex the

38
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 1>memory kings from open ended permissions to annual site licenses

39
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>for China bound chip equipment. South Korea's execs are sweating

40
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.759
<v Speaker 1>about bureaucracy slowing down repair cycles and upgrades, and the

41
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>proposed system aims to keep Chinese fabs running without letting

42
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 1>them reboot, a leap frog into next gen chips. Meanwhile,

43
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>China's military civil fusion is ducing AI progress. Civilian universities

44
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>and private drones companies now feed the People's Liberation Army,

45
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>with this month's military parade in Beijing flaunting AI drones,

46
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>laser weapons, and more. This blurring of lines makes it

47
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>brutally hard for the US to strike a balance. How

48
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 1>do you police high tech when civilian and defense suppliers

49
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>are the same. So what does it mean for the

50
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 1>tech world? Experts warn delays in China's access to high

51
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>end AI chips by America time to innovate, But China's

52
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>relentless drive for self reliance means borrowing is only ever temporary.

53
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Both economies find themselves in a codependent deadlock. US wants

54
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>market share and control, China wants self sufficiency and security.

55
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Looking forward, get ready for more creative policy workarounds ongoing

56
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>cyber cat and mouse, and the world where even the

57
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>chips in your toaster might be the subject of global intrigue.
