00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Listeners ting here your fastest channel for US traina tech

2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>drama and cyber jaw droppers. Let's sit past intros, because wow,

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>these last two weeks packed enough plot twist to outpace

4
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Speaker 1>a binge worthy series. First up, the hacking headlines, the

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Chinese state backed group Salt Typhoon made a spectacular breach.

6
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>A US Army National Guard unit's network was infiltrated, with

7
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>attackers grabbing communications admin credentials and brace yourself network blueprints

8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 1>connecting every other state and several US territories. The Department

9
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of Defense worries this could triple state cyber security teams

10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>if there's a full blown cyber conflict. And this isn't

11
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Salt Typhoon's first rodeo. Earlier they hit US telecom giants

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and snagged sensitive records in both the US and Canada

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>by exploiting weak spots in Cisco and Palo Alto Gear.

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>The chilling part, they also got their hands on the

15
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>work locations and PII of cyber defenders. Imagine a chess game,

16
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>but the opponent just stole your playbook. And now for

17
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the other flavor of security anxiety, the Pentagon's long standing

18
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 1>outsourcing of it cloud support to Microsoft engineers located in

19
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>mainland China. Yes, you heard correctly, engineers based in China

20
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>with access to the Defense Department's high impact level data,

21
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>including military operations, supposedly chaperoned by underqualified digital escorts. This

22
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>arrangement might have let vulnerabilities slip through under the guise

23
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>of boring old software updates. It's a reminder that hacking

24
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 1>isn't always a hoodie in basement affair. Sometimes it's a

25
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>spreadsheet problem. But cyberwars are just one front in the

26
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 1>semi center kit Saga June brought a game changing US

27
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 1>China framework deal. Both sides started backpedaling from their all

28
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>or nothing export bands. For instance, Used Software Giant's Synopsis

29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and Cadence resumed sales to Chinese customers, easing Beijing's chip

30
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 1>design woes. Meanwhile, China restarted rare earth shipments minus the

31
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>really military stuff. This thaw is about mutual pain. America's

32
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Big Beautiful Bill just ramped up domestic chip tax credits,

33
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>but even with billions pumped in the global supply chain,

34
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is still a jigsaw only solved together. Meanwhile, in Vidia's

35
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 1>H twenty AI chip saga reads like a business school drama.

36
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>After months of lobbying and an April export block, Washington's

37
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>finally letting in video resume shipments to China. Jensen Wang

38
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 1>even appeared on CCTV to confirm it. For in Vidia,

39
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that means billions of lost dollars may swing back on

40
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.479
<v Speaker 1>the ledger. For China, it's a stay of execution. But

41
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>the larger lesson is flashing neon. These wins are temporary

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and the clock ticks on a self reliance race. Neither

43
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>side can win alone. Here's the future forecast, straight from

44
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>the experts. The new trade debt ant is fragile, not final.

45
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Some security hawks claim the truce is just stalling for

46
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>time while both build up domestic supply chains and cyber arsenals.

47
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Analyticals predict we may see a g Trump's summit by

48
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>year's end. If that happens, we could lock in some

49
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of these tech trade relaxations for a while, at least

50
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>until the next round of cyber fireworks. Listeners, if you blinked,

51
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 1>you missed a revolution. On both sides of the Pacific,

52
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the U. S And China are playing a high stakes

53
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 1>game of whacker mow. Every restriction, every hack. Every compromise

54
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 1>resets the scoreboard, but doesn't end the game. Will the

55
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>next two weeks bring more cyber shockers, trade thaw or

56
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>a fresh round of sanctions. You know I'll break it down.
