EPISODE 70: “China, Cyber-enabled Economic Warfare, 5G and Cyber-crime” with Klon Kitchen
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.”
