Speaker 1: Hey, they're tech enthusiasts ting here, your go to gal
Speaker 1: for all things China, cyber and hacking. Buckle up because
Speaker 1: the US China tech tussle has been on fire these
Speaker 1: past two weeks. And I'm here to break it down
Speaker 1: for you. Let's kick things off with a bang, or
Speaker 1: should I say a hack salt typhoon. Our favorite Chinese
Speaker 1: state sponsored hacking group has been busy bees. They've breached
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but five telecom providers globally, including
Speaker 1: two right here in the good old US of A.
Speaker 1: Their weapon of choice unpatched Cisco edge devices. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, folks, patch your systems. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: Remember Deep Seek, that plucky Chinese AI startup. Well, they've
Speaker 1: been causing quite a stir there. R one model has
Speaker 1: got Open AI's knickers in a twist, with accusations of
Speaker 1: data theft flying around. Meanwhile, the White House is eyeing
Speaker 1: Deep Seek as a potential national security threat. Talk about
Speaker 1: a tech David versus Goliath. Now let's talk tariffs. Trump's back, baby,
Speaker 1: and he's brought his favorite trade wars. That Donald has
Speaker 1: slapped a ten percent tariff on Chinese imports, citing fentanyl
Speaker 1: precursors as the reason. Beijing's response a classic tit for
Speaker 1: tat move, hitting back with export controls on critical minerals
Speaker 1: and tariffs on US agricultural products. It's like watching a
Speaker 1: high stakes ping pong match, but with global economies as
Speaker 1: the ball. On the policy front, the US and China
Speaker 1: are playing a game of who can restrict more. The
Speaker 1: U S is tightening the screws on in Nvidia's chip
Speaker 1: sales to China, while Beijing is ramping up its own
Speaker 1: export controls. It's like a technological arms race, but instead
Speaker 1: of nukes, we're talking semiconductors and rare earth elements. Industry wise,
Speaker 1: it's been a roller coaster. U S tech stocks took
Speaker 1: a nose dive after Deep Seeks surprise success, but in
Speaker 1: Nvidia's shares bounce back like a rubber ball. Meanwhile, Chinese
Speaker 1: companies like Huawei are showing remarkable resilience advancing their mobile
Speaker 1: phone chips despite US restrictions. It's like watching a tech
Speaker 1: version of Survivor, who will outwit, outplay, and outlast. Looking ahead,
Speaker 1: experts are divided. Some predict a grand bargain that could
Speaker 1: reshape the tech landscape, while others foresee a deepening divide
Speaker 1: leading to parallel tech ecosystems. One thing's for sure, the
Speaker 1: US China tech war is far from over. So what's
Speaker 1: the takeaway from all this? Well, as a wise person
Speaker 1: once said, okay, it was me. In the world of tech,
Speaker 1: the only constant is change. Keep your eyes peeled, your
Speaker 1: systems patched, and your popcorn ready because this tech drama
Speaker 1: is far from its final act. This is ting signing off.
