This is your US-China CyberPulse: Defense Updates podcast.
Hey there, cyber enthusiasts! Ting here, your go-to gal for all things China and hacking. Buckle up, because this week's been a wild ride in the US-China cyber showdown!
So, picture this: It's March 13, 2025, and the FCC just dropped a bombshell. They've launched a shiny new Council for National Security, and let me tell you, it's got China in its crosshairs. FCC Chair Brendan Carr's not pulling any punches, folks. He's got Adam Chan at the helm, and they're ready to tackle everything from 5G to quantum computing.
But wait, there's more! Remember that pesky Salt Typhoon group? Well, they've been busy bees, breaching telecom networks left and right. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile – no one's safe. And don't even get me started on those TP-Link routers. The Bureau of Industry and Security's got its eye on them, and let's just say, it's not looking good for our Chinese friends.
Now, let's talk DeepSeek. This AI whiz-kid from China's been turning heads, but not in a good way. Texas, New York, Virginia – they're all saying "no thanks" to DeepSeek on government devices. And Congress? They're not far behind with the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act." Talk about a tech breakup!
But here's where it gets juicy. A bunch of Senate Republicans are chomping at the bit, urging Trump to unleash the cyber hounds on China. They're talking offensive operations, folks. Shelley Moore Capito and Roger Wicker are leading the charge, waving the Salt Typhoon and Silk Typhoon incidents like red flags.
Meanwhile, the House Committee on Homeland Security's been busy too. They had a little pow-wow about CCP hackers and transnational criminals. Michael Pillsbury, Bill Evanina, Craig Singleton – the gang's all there, warning about Beijing's cyber shenanigans.
But it's not all doom and gloom. The Biden administration left a parting gift – an executive order to beef up cybersecurity. And let's not forget the Department of Justice's new rule. It's all about keeping our sensitive data out of the hands of those pesky "countries of concern."
Oh, and did I mention the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act? It's packed with goodies to counter China's tech influence. We're talking everything from banning Chinese drones to scrutinizing routers and modems.
So, there you have it, folks. The US is pulling out all the stops in this cyber chess game with China. It's like a high-stakes game of whack-a-mole, but with ones and zeros. Stay tuned, because in this digital age, the next move could change everything. This is Ting, signing off from the front lines of the cyber battlefield!
