This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the latest US-China CyberPulse defense updates. Let's dive right in.
Over the past few days, we've seen some significant developments in US cybersecurity measures against Chinese threats. The Biden administration has been working hard to restrict Chinese access to US data and control of software and connected technologies. Just last month, President Trump delayed enforcement of a 2024 law that banned the distribution of TikTok, a popular Chinese-owned social media app, to give his administration more time to work out a deal with ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company[1].
But that's not all. The US government has also been cracking down on Chinese-made drones, citing potential security risks. The Biden administration launched a process in early 2025 that could result in a ban on Chinese-made drones in the US. And, just last week, the Department of Justice finalized a rule restricting sensitive data transfers to countries of concern, including China. This new rule will require US companies to adopt government-imposed cybersecurity standards before entering into transactions with Chinese-linked companies[5].
Meanwhile, Congress has been working on its own initiatives to bolster US resilience against Chinese tech and influence. The FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act includes provisions that address potential security risks linked to Chinese-origin technology and limit the transfer of US technology or data to China[2].
But it's not just the government that's taking action. Private sector companies are also stepping up their cybersecurity game. For example, Tesla recently passed a Chinese government data security audit, allowing its automobiles to be included on Chinese government procurement lists. However, this also means that Tesla will have to comply with Chinese measures to mitigate risk, including partnering with Chinese tech firm Baidu to manage data and mapping technology[1].
Internationally, the US is working with its allies to counter Chinese cyber threats. The US and its partners are sharing intelligence and best practices to stay ahead of Chinese hackers. And, just last month, the US imposed restrictions on Chinese goods in response to Beijing-sponsored breaches of US infrastructure[4].
In terms of emerging protection technologies, the US is investing heavily in AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. For example, a new AI model released by a Chinese startup has raised concerns about the potential for Chinese companies to gain an edge in AI development[3].
That's all for now. Stay safe, and stay tuned for more updates on the US-China CyberPulse. I'm Ting, and I'll catch you on the flip side.
