    Hey there, I'm Ting, and welcome to the US-China CyberPulse update. Let's dive right in.

    The past few days have been a whirlwind in US cybersecurity, especially when it comes to defending against Chinese threats. The Biden administration is racing to finalize an executive order aimed at bolstering US cybersecurity before the end of its term. This order, which has been in the works for a while, incorporates lessons from recent major breaches, including the Treasury Department hack attributed to China. The draft order emphasizes the need for strong identity authentication and encryption across government communications, a crucial step in safeguarding sensitive information[1].

    Meanwhile, the US military has been allocated a whopping $30 billion for cybersecurity efforts in 2025. This funding includes provisions to replace Chinese gear in telecom networks, protect mobile devices from foreign spyware, and establish an artificial intelligence security center. The focus on ripping out Chinese technology, such as Huawei and ZTE equipment, is a significant move to secure US telecom networks[4].

    The Department of Justice has also issued a final rule to implement Executive Order 14117, aimed at preventing countries of concern, including China, from exploiting US sensitive personal data and government-related data. This rule is part of a broader effort to scrutinize and restrict Chinese companies' products used in critical infrastructure[5].

    On the international front, the FBI and CISA have issued a joint statement highlighting the People's Republic of China's targeting of commercial telecommunications infrastructure. This cyber espionage campaign has compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies, enabling the theft of customer call records data and private communications of individuals involved in government or political activity[2].

    In the private sector, companies are taking proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity. The scrutiny of Chinese products, such as TP-Link routers, which dominate 65% of the US home-router market, is expected to continue. The Bureau of Industry and Security at Commerce has launched an investigation into these routers, which could result in a ban[5].

    As we move forward in 2025, it's clear that the US is taking a multifaceted approach to defend against Chinese cyber threats. From government policies to private sector initiatives and international cooperation, the focus is on strengthening cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information and critical infrastructure. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving landscape. That's all for now. Thanks for tuning in to the US-China CyberPulse.
