This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey there, I'm Ting, and let's dive right into the latest US-China CyberPulse updates. It's been a busy week, and I've got the scoop on the latest defensive strategies, government policies, and emerging protection technologies.
First off, let's talk about the Biden administration's efforts to restrict Chinese access to US data and control of software and connected technology. On January 20, 2025, President Trump sought to delay enforcement of a 2024 law that banned the distribution of TikTok, giving ByteDance until early 2025 to divest its ownership of the app. But that's not all - the US government has been quietly building a regulatory framework to limit Chinese data flows and restrict Chinese software and connected devices in the US.
In 2024, the Biden administration signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to establish regulations restricting data brokers from selling or transferring data to China. They also finalized rules to restrict the sale of internet-connected cars manufactured in China, citing national security risks. And just recently, the administration launched a process that could result in a ban on Chinese-made drones in the US.
But it's not just the government taking action. 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. And in a recent meeting with South Korea's National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik, PRC General Secretary Xi Jinping signaled the PRC's growing efforts to strengthen ties with South Korea amid its escalating trade war with the US.
Now, let's talk about some international cooperation efforts. South Korea's National Intelligence Service accused the PRC's AI start-up DeepSeek of excessively collecting and storing user data, leading to a ban on the app for government employees. This is just one example of how countries are working together to address security concerns related to Chinese technology.
In terms of emerging protection technologies, the US government is focusing on developing new defensive strategies to counter Chinese cyber threats. The Commerce Department has established an Office of Information and Communications Technology Services to implement authorities over the ICTS supply chain. And the US Coast Guard has issued directives to US port operators to address security risks associated with Chinese-manufactured cargo cranes.
That's all for now, folks. It's clear that the US is taking a proactive approach to addressing Chinese cyber threats, and it's going to be an interesting year ahead. Stay tuned for more updates from the US-China CyberPulse.
