The AI war and how to win it
As a naturalized US citizen who was born in China but intends to raise a family as full-bore Americans, it&#x27;s hard for me to assess the China threat.<p>I believe China very much wants to assert it&#x27;s influence in the Asia Pacific + MENA region, but I just don&#x27;t it trying to conquer the United States directly. It&#x27;s never really had a history of imperialism like the West has (excluding the Mongol empire that collapsed almost immediately).<p>That said, a country doesn&#x27;t need to directly conquer another to be a threat. Still, it&#x27;s hard to know how serious the threat really is—the post is compelling but also assumes as a forgone conclusion that China has aggressor ambitions.
