In today's Techstrong Gang, Alan Shimel, Mitch Ashley, Bonnie Schneider, Stephen Foskett, Jon Swartz and Sulagna Saha discuss how tech has been deployed to help fight the catastrophic fires in the Los Angeles area.

Next, the gang turns their attention to a recent report by Bonnie Schneider on EcoTech Insights about how well tech companies have delivered on their promise to use less plastic in packaging.

Finally, the gang talks about a potential chip war with China as the Biden administration prepares an executive order to further limit AI chip technology from reaching China and why NVIDIA opposes this move.
