Listeners, buckle up, because I'm ting your high voltage tea spilling guide to the US China tech war, where code is sharper than swords and the stakes, oh, just global dominance. Let's dig into what's gone down these last two weeks, because Beijing bites waits for no one. First up, the shock wave called Salt Typhoon. Picture This a Chinese state backed hacking campaign on international beast mode. According to the New York Times, and echoed by cyber agencies from the
US to Poland. Salt Typhoon went well past the usual digital peep show smagging call records, law enforcement notes, even political communications. Not content to just eavesdrop. These hackers borrowed into power grids and telecom backbonds, embedding what experts now believe could be destructive capabilities. The FBI and Justice Department are basically waving red flags everywhere. This isn't cyber espionage
as usual. It's cyber chaos potential. If you've made a phone call in America lately, you might be caught in the net, and yes, that includes people in the White House. Meanwhile, international nerves are twitching. The US National Security Agency and more than twenty, top cyber agencies issued a blunt warning about persistent Chinese state sponsored attacks. Salt Typhoon wasn't a solo act. Groups like Operator Panda and Red Mic have been running wild too. The Five Eyes Alliance and European
partners say in diplomatic speak, grace yourselves. Cyber defenses are now mission critical. But wait, there's more. Washington just slid a new batch of tech restrictions onto the table. Think tighter chip export bands. Nvidia and Ali Baba are nerve watching their cross Pacific business dances in Nvidia's new Blackwell chips. Chronta wants them badly, but US policy is tightening the nozzle.
This is squeezing Chinese AI giants Baido, Byte Dance Ali Baba, who are sprinting to design their own chips and AI infrastructure to avoid being left in the digital dust. In response, Beijing has rolled out a national action plan for tech self sufficiency, soaring investment into domestic AI, five G and semiconductor technologies. Huawei claimed an ecosystem entirely independent of the
United States. There's talk of supply chain fortresses for critical telecommunications equipment and moves to take supply chain control from Singapore to home turf, especially by players like Byte Dance on the tit for tat front. Beijing slammed anti dumping tariffs on US fiber optic products, a direct retaliation for new American sanctions on Chinese chemicals. Meanwhile, the US Data Security Program kicked in for all American businesses, expanding export
controls into the digital realm. If your company's data crosses borders, congratulations, you're in the regulatory crosshairs. On the industry side, impacts are rippling byd China's ev Darling may slash annual sales targets, signaling that even mainland demand is feeling the squeeze from global trade headwinds and tech wars. AI is the big exception here. Sence Time and bay Dou both announced scorching growth, fueled by surging demand for China native AI models and
a new homegrown page computing platform. So what's next. On Ting's forecast, the rules of global AI, data and chips are being rewritten, a cross fire walls and sanctions. Expect China to double down on homegrown innovation and the US to keep tightening the screws on tech exports and data sovereignty. As one expert put it, this isn't a cold war. It's a code war, and it's getting hotter by the day. Thanks for tuning in. Don't forget to subscribe so you
