Sizzling Cyberwar: Trump's Revenge, China's Counterpunch, and the Global Fallout - Beijing Bytes Unfiltered
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 updates on the US-China tech war. Let's dive right in.
Over the past two weeks, we've seen some major developments that are heating up the tech rivalry between these two superpowers. First off, China's been making some bold moves. They've 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 fire with fire, especially with Donald Trump preparing to resume the presidency and promising tougher stances on China[1].
But that's not all. The Chinese Communist Party has also been ramping up its cyberattacks on US critical infrastructure. Just last month, they targeted the US Treasury Department, specifically the Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Office of the Treasury Secretary. These attacks are part of Beijing's hybrid tactics to undermine strategic competitors and gather sensitive intelligence[2].
Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been tightening the screws on advanced chip exports to China. New rules issued on January 15 create three tiers of licensing requirements for advanced chips and associated software. This is a clear attempt to prevent China from accessing advanced AI technology, further straining the already tense US-China geopolitical relationship[3].
Now, let's talk about the implications. These moves are not just about trade; they're about national security and strategic positioning. China's been making significant strides in building its AI infrastructure, with over 250 advanced data centers and computing facilities under construction. Analysts like Lian Jye from Omdia believe that if China keeps this pace, the gap with the US will narrow further[5].
But here's the thing: these cyberattacks and tech restrictions are not just about the US and China. They have global implications. Taiwan, for instance, has been bearing the brunt of these attacks, with nearly 2.4 million cyberattacks daily in 2024. And let's not forget the close cooperation between China and Russia in online information operations and cyber operations. This is a complex landscape that's only going to get more complicated.
So, what's next? Well, with Trump's presidency on the horizon, we can expect more tit-for-tat trade policies and escalating tensions. The global economy is already grappling with inflationary pressures and energy insecurity, and a renewed trade war could exacerbate these challenges. It's a tech war that's not just about chips and AI; it's about geopolitical dominance. Stay tuned, folks. This is Ting, signing off from Beijing Bytes.
