    Hey there, I'm Ting, and let's dive right into the latest US-China CyberPulse updates. The past few days have been buzzing with new defensive strategies, government policies, and international cooperation efforts aimed at countering Chinese cyber threats.

    Just last week, the Department of Justice issued a proposed rule restricting sensitive data transfers to China and other adversary countries. This move is crucial in preventing access to bulk U.S. sensitive personal data and government-related data by countries of concern, including China[1]. The proposed rule would require U.S. businesses to impose data security standards before engaging in investment, employment, or vendor agreements with covered persons.

    Meanwhile, the Treasury Department has been taking action against malicious cyber actors. On December 10, they sanctioned Sichuan Silence Information Technology Company, Limited, and one of its employees, Guan Tianfeng, for their roles in the April 2020 compromise of tens of thousands of firewalls worldwide, many of which were U.S. critical infrastructure companies[2].

    But it's not all about sanctions and restrictions. The U.S. government is also working on strengthening its cybersecurity partnerships with the private sector. General Timothy Haugh, Commander of CYBERCOM, emphasized the importance of industry collaboration at the TechNet Cyber conference in June. He warned that the defense industrial base is being actively targeted by China, and that companies must enhance their cybersecurity to fend off these attacks[3].

    International cooperation is also key in this fight. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new international digital policy strategy in May, highlighting the importance of collaboration and international coalitions in countering cyber threats. The strategy specifically called out China as the "broadest, most active, and most persistent cyber threat to government and private-sector networks in the United States"[4].

    As we move forward, it's clear that the U.S.-China cyber landscape is becoming increasingly complex. But with new defensive strategies, government policies, and international cooperation efforts in place, we're better equipped to tackle these threats head-on. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of US-China CyberPulse. That's all for now, folks. Stay cyber-safe out there.
