qz.com/china-hacking-fbi-christopher-wray-panic-volt-typhoon-1851425289
Quick Glance: Cyber Threats from China Targeting US Critical Infrastructure
- According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chinese hackers are continuously seeking to infiltrate the computer systems of U.S. water treatment facilities and energy grids to induce panic.
- Wray claimed that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has allocated significant resources to an offensive cyber program that surpasses those of all other major nations combined.
- Wray primarily focused on the China threat concerning critical infrastructure but was also questioned about TikTok, the social media platform facing potential banning in the U.S. if ByteDance does not comply.
- The FBI director emphasizes that the threat is not merely a long-term concern anymore but could materialize by 2027, as indicated by a recent assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence suggesting a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan before the decade ends.

Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies
- Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.
- The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.
- The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.
- The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.
