Beijing's AI Dragons Dodge US Cyber Salvos in Spicy Tech Tango

This is your Beijing Bytes: US-China Tech War Updates podcast.

Hey listeners, Ting here with Beijing Bytes, your snappy dive into the US-China tech war chaos from the past couple weeks. Picture this: I'm hunkered down in my Beijing cyber bunker, caffeine-fueled, dissecting the latest salvos while dodging digital dragons.

First off, the Pentagon dropped its bombshell "Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China 2025" report on December 23—right before Christmas, sneaky timing. It slams Beijing for closing the AI gap with killer large language models from Baidu, Alibaba, and Huawei, now powering PLA drones, cyber ops, and deepfake info warfare aimed at Taiwan. Think Volt Typhoon hackers, up 150% on US infrastructure hits like energy grids and water systems, prepping for a Taiwan blockade where they'd flood the narrative with AI-forged chaos. US counter? Rolling out GenAI.mil with Google's Gemini and soon Elon Musk's xAI Grok at Impact Level 5—giving troops real-time X insights. Analysts say China's generative AI fixes their weak sauce on foreign languages for authentic propaganda. Wild, right?

Cyber front's heating up too. Storm-1849, that Chinese crew, breached the UK Foreign Office in October via Cisco zero-days—echoes of Evasive Panda's DNS poisoning ops hitting Turkey, India, and even China itself with MgBot backdoors through 2024, per Kaspersky. Stateside, Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District fended off what they peg as a Chinese international cyber-attack. And don't sleep on Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology, sanctioned by Biden for US telco hacks.

Tech restrictions? US Trade Rep's Section 301 probe just greenlit phased tariffs on Chinese semis—starting zero, spiking by June 2027. China's Ministry of Commerce, via spokesperson He Yongqian, fired back on December 25, calling it WTO trash that wrecks supply chains. ASML's CEO Christophe Fourquet warns of a 2026 China sales plunge—over 30% of their €340 million EUV lithography beasts go there for AI chips—after Dutch gov seized Nexperia plant from Wingtech over security fears. Beijing hit back with rare earth curbs, though they're easing some amid Trump-Xi talks. Textiles got hammered too, with US duties near 47% stacking up.

Industry ripples: Anduril's Palmer Luckey among 10 US execs and 20 firms sanctioned by China after massive Taiwan arms sales. ASML eyes €32 billion revenue in 2025 despite the mess.

Strategically? Pentagon sees direct homeland risks from China's nukes, cyber, and space plays—deterrence by strength, no humiliation. Experts forecast 2026 fractures: TikTok deadlines, soybean buys, rare earth flips. China innovates on, hitting Global Innovation Index top 10. US firms lose billions ditching the market.

Witty wrap: It's less Thucydides Trap, more AI cage match—who blinks first on chips and hacks?
