and perceiving limited U.S. options to counter China\u2019s activities due to Trump&#8217;s focus on Iran.<\/li>\n<li>The White House has accused China of &#8216;industrial-scale&#8217; theft involving a process called \u2018distillation,\u2019 whereby China trains its AI models on U.S. output to acquire advanced capabilities cheaply.<\/li>\n<li>China&#8217;s smuggling operations involve complex, high-tech methods like repackaging chips shipped through southeast Asia and low-tech tricks such as swapping labels to evade detection.<\/li>\n<li>The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is enforcing strict control over AI innovation, recently halting Meta&#8217;s attempt to acquire a Chinese AI startup and prohibiting the founders from leaving the country, effectively killing the \u201cSingapore washing\u201d practice.<\/li>\n<li>A U.S. congressional hearing warned of China&#8217;s efforts to harvest U.S. data to develop advanced AI systems for geopolitical advantages, though Trump has sent mixed signals on enforcing stringent export controls.<\/li>\n<li>Despite the controversial methods, China has achieved notable advances, exemplified by the DeepSeek company yet marred by state meddling and unsustainable spending.<\/li>\n<li>The CCP prioritizes security and control, facing internal worries about job impacts and cybersecurity threats;
