"China's Stealthy Influence Campaign: A New Threat to America's AI Supremacy In a disturbing development, China has shifted its focus from overt propaganda to a more insidious form of influence operation, targeting American domestic debates on key infrastructure projects. The country's strategic goal is to slow down the nation's technological build-out, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). By amplifying existing divisions over data centers and other AI-related infrastructure, China aims to create a perfect storm of partisan gridlock and bureaucratic red tape. As the US continues to lead the world in AI innovation, China's subtle yet effective tactics pose a significant threat to America's technological supremacy and national security."
