Cyber warfare is raging around the world, with China as the leading
state actor. But unlike Russia, and unlike Iran, and unlike North
Korea, China is deeply integrated into the US economy and many
aspects of our national strength. This is one reason why Congress
wanted to learn from my guest Klon Kitchen about the Chinese app
TikTok.
By now, Chinese global ambitions are well known, but less
understood is how they have penetrated the US. The Chinese
understand their nation to extend to every individual Chinese
around the world whose loyalty and responsibilities are to the
Chinese nation and its aims.
“Any counter-intelligence professional will tell you that China is
exceedingly active in the United States.”
Within China’s borders, there's a new Chinese cyber security law
that requires all foreign companies to give the Chinese government
nearly unfettered digital access to all their communications and
trade secrets data.
Learn much more about China’s strategies in this episode’s
conversation with Klon Kitchen.
Also, Global cyber-crime is expected to reach $6 trillion annually.
And the problem is growing because “we’re innovating faster than we
can secure our networks.”
