00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, I'm ting and let's dive right into the

2
00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>latest on the US China tech war. Over the past

3
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.279
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, things have been heating up, especially in cybersecurity.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>The Chinese Communist Party CCP has been making headlines with

5
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>its aggressive cyber attacks on US infrastructure. Just a few

6
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>days ago, we learned about a state sponsored cyber attack

7
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>on the US Treasury Department, targeting the Office of Foreign

8
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Assets Control and the Office of the Treasury Secretary. This

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>isn't just any ordinary hack. It's part of Beijing's broader

10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 1>strategy to undermine its strategic competitors and gather sensitive intelligence.

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>But that's not all. The CCP has also been busy

12
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>infiltrating US critical infrastructure, including water treatment plants, the electrical grid,

13
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>and transportation systems. The US recently dismantled an operation by

14
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a Chinese state backed hacker group known as volt Typhoon,

15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 1>which had gained control of hundreds of Internet routers in

16
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the US to launch attacks on these critical systems. Now,

17
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about new tech restrictions. The US has been

18
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.239
<v Speaker 1>tightening its grip on Chinese tech companies, especially those with

19
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 1>ties to the CCP. President Trump recently delayed enforcement of

20
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>a law that bans the distribution of TikTok, a popular

21
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Chinese owned social media app, to give his administration more

22
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.359
<v Speaker 1>time to work out a deal. But make no mistake,

23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>restrictions on Chinese communications technologies, software, and internet connected devices

24
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>are becoming a major pillar of US economic and technology

25
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>policy toward Beijing. The Biden administration had previously passed legislation

26
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and issued executive orders limiting certain data transfers to China,

27
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>imposed draft know your Customer requirements on US cloud services providers,

28
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and published a draft rule to ban Chinese autonomous cars

29
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>from being sold or used on American roads, And just

30
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>last week, the US launched a process to restrict strict

31
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the use of Chinese made, commercial and hobbyist drones in

32
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the US industry. Impacts are significant. Chinese tech companies are

33
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 1>facing increasing scrutiny, and US firms are being forced to

34
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>rethink their partnerships with Chinese companies. The CCP is also

35
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>restricting access to US consumer electronics within China's borders, primarily smartphones,

36
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to reduce foreign technology dependents. This move is seen as

37
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>retaliation against US actions against Huawei and other Chinese firms.

38
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>So what does this mean for both nations? The US

39
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>China tech war is escalating, and cybersecurity incidents are becoming

40
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>more frequent and sophisticated. The CCP's aggressive cyber attacks and

41
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>infiltration of US critical infrastructure post significant national security risks.

42
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>The US is responding with tougher restrictions on Chinese tech companies,

43
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>but this could have unintended consequences for US firms operating

44
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>in China. As an expert, I predict the this tech

45
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>war will only intensify in the coming months. The CCP

46
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>will continue to push its boundaries and the US will

47
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>respond with even tougher measures. It's a cat and mouse game,

48
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 1>but one thing is certain. The stakes are high and

49
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 1>the implications are far reaching. Stay tuned, folks, It's going

50
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 1>to be a wild ride. Thanks for listening. Make sure
