00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Hey, they're tech enthusiasts ting here, your go to gal

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>for all things China, cyber and hacking. Buckle up because

3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the US China tech tussle has been on fire these

4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>past two weeks. And I'm here to break it down

5
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.519
<v Speaker 1>for you. Let's kick things off with a bang, or

6
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>should I say a hack salt typhoon. Our favorite Chinese

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>state sponsored hacking group has been busy bees. They've breached

8
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>not one, not two, but five telecom providers globally, including

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 1>two right here in the good old US of A.

10
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Their weapon of choice unpatched Cisco edge devices. I mean,

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>come on, folks, patch your systems. But wait, there's more.

12
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Remember Deep Seek, that plucky Chinese AI startup. Well, they've

13
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>been causing quite a stir there. R one model has

14
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>got Open AI's knickers in a twist, with accusations of

15
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 1>data theft flying around. Meanwhile, the White House is eyeing

16
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Deep Seek as a potential national security threat. Talk about

17
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a tech David versus Goliath. Now let's talk tariffs. Trump's back, baby,

18
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's brought his favorite trade wars. That Donald has

19
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 1>slapped a ten percent tariff on Chinese imports, citing fentanyl

20
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 1>precursors as the reason. Beijing's response a classic tit for

21
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 1>tat move, hitting back with export controls on critical minerals

22
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and tariffs on US agricultural products. It's like watching a

23
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>high stakes ping pong match, but with global economies as

24
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the ball. On the policy front, the US and China

25
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>are playing a game of who can restrict more. The

26
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>U S is tightening the screws on in Nvidia's chip

27
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>sales to China, while Beijing is ramping up its own

28
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>export controls. It's like a technological arms race, but instead

29
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 1>of nukes, we're talking semiconductors and rare earth elements. Industry wise,

30
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it's been a roller coaster. U S tech stocks took

31
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>a nose dive after Deep Seeks surprise success, but in

32
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Nvidia's shares bounce back like a rubber ball. Meanwhile, Chinese

33
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>companies like Huawei are showing remarkable resilience advancing their mobile

34
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>phone chips despite US restrictions. It's like watching a tech

35
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>version of Survivor, who will outwit, outplay, and outlast. Looking ahead,

36
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>experts are divided. Some predict a grand bargain that could

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>reshape the tech landscape, while others foresee a deepening divide

38
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>leading to parallel tech ecosystems. One thing's for sure, the

39
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>US China tech war is far from over. So what's

40
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the takeaway from all this? Well, as a wise person

41
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 1>once said, okay, it was me. In the world of tech,

42
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the only constant is change. Keep your eyes peeled, your

43
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>systems patched, and your popcorn ready because this tech drama

44
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is far from its final act. This is ting signing off.
