00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Phew, what a whirlwind. The last couple of weeks have

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>been in the US China tech war. It's ting here

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>your Techi tour guide to all things cyber hacking and

4
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>geopolitical tech drama. Buckle up. This ride is juiced with

5
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>quantum leaps, cyber attacks, and policy salvos. First, let's talk cyber.

6
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>China's been busy escalating its hybrid tactics. State sponsored cyber

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>attacks targeting US critical infrastructure continue to grab headlines. Just

8
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.359
<v Speaker 1>imagine a hacker group like salt Typhoon breaking into nine

9
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 1>telecommunications networks or prying into US officials phones. Now layer

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that with the December discovery of volt Typhoon's infiltration of

11
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>US router networks. It's basically Beijing flexing its digital muscles

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>to disrupt US defenses and gather intelligence. Oh, in Taiwan,

13
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>they're fielding two point four million cyber attack attempts a day,

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>yes daily. If that doesn't scream high tech warfare, I

15
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know what does. Meanwhile, Washington isn't taking it lying down.

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>The Biden administration has expanded restrictions on Chinese tech think bands,

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>on Huawei telecom gear, Chinese drones, and even Internet connected cars.

18
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>National security concerns are driving these moves, particularly fears of espionage,

19
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>but Beijing is retaliating in stride. In March, they rolled

20
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>out an anti monopoly probe against Google, leveraging trade tensions

21
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to make a domestic stand. Speaking of domestic, China's tech

22
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>ambitions are accelerating. Ever heard of deep Seek. It's China's

23
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>homegrown rival to chat GPT that debuted with jaw dropping

24
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>capabilities and at a fraction of the cost. Silicon Valley

25
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>was rattled. Experts like IBM's George Tulevski warn this is

26
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>just the beginning. Add to that, China's strategic push for

27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>semiconductor independence and rare earth mineral controls, a critical squeeze

28
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>on global supply chains that made the US sit up

29
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and take notice. The policy fallout isn't just about rivalry,

30
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>its reshaping industries. The Chips Act is pumping billions into

31
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 1>domestic semiconductor production while Beijing doubles down on AI and

32
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>five G investments. But this isn't purely bilateral. Countries like

33
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Turkey are inching into China's orbit, with Huawei outfitting their

34
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 1>telecommunications infrastructure, Meanwhile developing nations might find China's tech like

35
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Deep Seek's cheaper AI irresistibly alluring. Where does this leave us?

36
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>A future where everyone picks a tech side is on

37
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the horizon Huawei versus Apple, Chat, GPT versus Deep Seek.

38
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a high tech duopoly being etched into the global market.

39
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Will mutual dependencies like semiconductor trade temper this clash? Maybe,

40
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>but the steaks are sky high. Who gets the next

41
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 1>innovation edge could decide not just market dominance, but geopolitical

42
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>power for decades. So stay tuned. I'll keep decoding this

43
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>tech war bite by bite. Thanks for listening. Make sure
