For years, people were told that China is a serious threat to our country and that we should never hand them our AI technology. Because of that fear, our government pushed export controls, chip bans, and tighter trade rules. The message was simple: China must be stopped so we can be safe.
But now the lies behind that China AI threat narrative are being exposed.
Many can now see that the fear behind these narratives was not really about security, but about influencing the public, protecting certain interests and justifying export policies that never work. While citizens were told China had to be contained, the actual outcome tells a different story.
These false narratives are actually hurting our economy. They are pushing the tech market to rely more on Chinese technology instead of ours.
This is why, instead of believing fear campaigns, we should focus more on fact checking what they are really advocating for.
