While China sees AI as another tool for controlling its populace,

The people who write this shit are actually unhinged.

Like... dawg, this is what is happening here - not China. Stop projecting you loser.

Pretty much, they're so used to just regurgitating these talking point now that it's become reflexive. You could probably do a whole graduate thesis on the mandated writing style about western adversaries.

While China sees AI as another tool for controlling its populace, the United States is rushing to create AI that will give it global economic dominance.

Erm... If you insist on framing it in those terms, it's precisely the opposite: China is using AI to massively increase industrial productivity and outputs, whereas USA is all about deep fakes and grok providing copium and distraction.

the Chinese Communist Party, which sees AI as one tech tool among the many they use to govern every aspect of the individual and collective lives

the ol' reliable "china dissing" of liberal media...i mean, that i know, deepseek is not being used basically as an excuse to fire people, financial speculation, and giving tips for suicide to impressionable youth like their western counterparts

That's basically been the whole sales pitch in the west. If the government makes decisions that affect your life that's horrible and totalitarian, but if private corps who are accountable to nobody do it, that's freedom.
