Speaker 1: Pay listeners ting hair your favorite bite sized guide to
Speaker 1: all things China, cyber and the jaw dropping drama of
Speaker 1: the US China tech war. Grab your popcorn, because the
Speaker 1: past two weeks have been like Silicon Valley colliding with
Speaker 1: old school global intrigue. Let's plug in fast. This August,
Speaker 1: we saw AMD and Nvidia Inc a wild revenue sharing
Speaker 1: deal with the US government where they hand over fifteen
Speaker 1: percent of every dollar from selling approved AI chips into China. No,
Speaker 1: that's not a typo. The US gets a cut like
Speaker 1: the world's most awkward business partner at the middle of
Speaker 1: a tariff tornado. Roylers says this pay to play move
Speaker 1: is the price of admission as chip makers run the
Speaker 1: gauntlet of sky high tariffs and constantly shifting export restrictions.
Speaker 1: Hold up, there's more. The Trump administration clearly not satisfied
Speaker 1: with just skimming sales, Mold taking an equity stake in
Speaker 1: Intel after a tense chin wag between President Trump and
Speaker 1: Intel's CEO, Lip Boo Tan. Intel's been navigating headwinds on
Speaker 1: tech process market share and now political chess, but SoftBank
Speaker 1: swooped in with a two billion dollars boost, showing that
Speaker 1: industry support is still strong. If government influence ramps up,
Speaker 1: expect more chips rolling out of American fabs and fewer
Speaker 1: crossing the Pacific. On the Chinese side, the pot keeps boiling.
Speaker 1: China rolled out more export restrictions, now targeting critical minerals
Speaker 1: and machine tools. If you were counting on gallium, germanium
Speaker 1: or antibani for your next Hyphenngen devices, Beijing says, find
Speaker 1: a new supplier. This disrupts everything from defense supply chains
Speaker 1: to battery makers. The Chinese communist parties China inc. Strategy
Speaker 1: is laser focused on keeping the world dependent, while Beijing
Speaker 1: accelerates domestic chip production, AI labs and digital infrastructure. China's
Speaker 1: etown semi Conductor even slapped Applied Materials with a lawsuit
Speaker 1: over alleged tech infringement, sparking a legal arms race. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: on cybersecurity, don't blink. Microsoft got caught letting China based
Speaker 1: engineers digitally escort sensitive systems for the U. S Defense Department.
Speaker 1: The Pentagon is not amused and Microsoft is promised to stop,
Speaker 1: but experts like John Sherman are scrambling to close loopholes
Speaker 1: before the next tack makes headlines. Ransomware gangs like Kulan
Speaker 1: have been busy with a tax on US biotech firm Inotive,
Speaker 1: blocking up one hundred seventy six gigabytes of juicy data
Speaker 1: and researches tracing links back to China and Russia. The
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence reminds US, as if we needed reminding,
Speaker 1: China is America's most persistent cyber threat. Xmize revenue jumped
Speaker 1: thirty percent on booming smartphone sales, especially in Southeast Asia
Speaker 1: and Europe, while Google's pixelten launch tries to grab back
Speaker 1: some hardware glory before Apple's next iPhone. The consumer scene
Speaker 1: is jostling as trade war shock waves ricochet through supply chains,
Speaker 1: pushing US companies to localize and Chinese giants to dig
Speaker 1: deeper in self reliance. Expert forecasts say the US must
Speaker 1: balance security and competitiveness with smarter controls, not blanket bands.
Speaker 1: Stamford's Senor Abante Chowdery warns, restrict too much and the
Speaker 1: US loses revenue and R and D momentum. Allow too
Speaker 1: much and China just uses the breathing space to ramp
Speaker 1: up tech independence. One thing is clear both sides see
Speaker 1: tech dominance as national destiny, and neither is blinking. Thanks
