Hacked and Cracked: US-China Tech War Heats Up with Cyber Attacks and Export Bans! Who Will Prevail?

This is your Beijing Bytes: US-China Tech War Updates podcast.Hey there, I'm Ting, and welcome to Beijing Bytes, your go-to source for the latest on the US-China tech war. Let's dive right in.The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of cybersecurity incidents, new tech restrictions, and policy changes that are reshaping the landscape of US-China technology competition. Just a few days ago, the US Treasury Department was hit by a state-sponsored cyberattack from China, targeting the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Office of the Treasury Secretary. This isn't just any ordinary hack; it's part of Beijing's escalating hybrid tactics to undermine strategic competitors and gather sensitive intelligence[1].But that's not all. The Biden Administration, in its final days, has issued new export controls on advanced computing chips and AI models to prevent China and Russia from accessing cutting-edge technology. These rules revamp licensing requirements, creating three tiers for advanced chips and associated software. It's a move that reflects the ongoing tension between protecting US national security and allowing US tech companies to participate in the global market[2].Meanwhile, China has announced export controls on 28 US companies, including defense giants Lockheed Martin and Boeing Defense. This is a clear signal that Beijing is ready to fight US trade fire with fire, especially with Donald Trump's tougher stance on China looming large[4].The implications are far-reaching. The US-China trade war could exacerbate global economic challenges, including inflationary pressures and energy insecurity. US investors in Chinese venture capital funds are racing to comply with new rules banning investments in companies developing AI and other advanced technologies used by the People's Liberation Army[4].In the cybersecurity realm, Chinese state-backed hacker groups like Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon have been wreaking havoc. Volt Typhoon gained control of hundreds of US internet routers to launch attacks on critical infrastructure, while Salt Typhoon targeted data from US officials, including phones used by Donald Trump and his running mate[1].So, what's next? Experts predict a renewed escalation in trade tensions between the world's two largest economies, with potential collateral damage for other nations. The US is also taking steps to safeguard its national security, including restrictions on connected vehicle technology from China and Russia[5].In conclusion, the US-China tech war is heating up, with cybersecurity incidents, new tech restrictions, and policy changes dominating the headlines. As we move forward, it's clear that this rivalry will only intensify, with significant implications for global trade, security, and the future of technology.
