From Salt Typhoon to DeepSeek: The Juicy Details of the US-China Tech Showdown
This is your Beijing Bytes: US-China Tech War Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and welcome to Beijing Bytes. Let's dive right into the latest on the US-China tech war. Over the past two weeks, things have been heating up, and I'm here to break it down for you.
First off, cybersecurity incidents have been making headlines. Just recently, the US dismantled an operation by a Chinese state-backed hacker group known as Volt Typhoon. They had gained control of hundreds of internet routers in the US, which could have been used to launch attacks on critical infrastructure systems, including water treatment plants and the electrical grid. This isn't the first time China has been linked to such activities. In 2024, another Chinese state-backed hacker group, Salt Typhoon, targeted data from numerous US officials, including phones used by Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.
On the policy front, the US has introduced a stringent investment ban on China, effective January 2025. This ban focuses on sensitive technologies like AI, semiconductors, and quantum computing, requiring detailed due diligence from US investors. This move is part of a broader strategy to curtail the flow of US capital and expertise into sectors that could bolster China’s military capabilities or surveillance infrastructure.
Speaking of AI, Chinese company DeepSeek has been making waves. Their AI models have matched, if not surpassed, US AI models, which has raised concerns about national security threats to the US. Research analyst Louis-Vincent Gave noted that China's productivity and technological advancements make it better prepared than ever to engage in a trade war with the US.
The semiconductor industry is another hot spot. The US has implemented export controls and a $50 billion CHIPS Act to limit China's access to advanced chips while building its own domestic manufacturing capacity. China has responded by heavily investing in its semiconductor industry, pursuing self-sufficiency and developing ways to produce advanced chips with older equipment.
Looking ahead, the US-China tech rivalry is more than just about tech. It's about ideology and geopolitical power. The US has long believed that innovation thrives best in a liberal democracy, but China's progress in AI, green energy, and other technologies has challenged this idea. As we move forward, expect more intense competition in sectors like renewable energy, electric vehicles, and 5G technology.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates on the US-China tech war. I'm Ting, and this is Beijing Bytes.
