World War 3 Has Begun: The Rise of AGI
How China is Waging War with AI, Algorithms, and Ancient Strategy
The deeper I dive, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just disruption—it's war.
A new kind of world war. Silent, digital, and insidious. And at the heart of it lies China, waging a conflict that transcends borders, fueled by AI, algorithms, and a playbook thousands of years old. And eventually it will emerge into a full-fledged war as we know it.
A Personal Perspective: Understanding China's Mindset
I grew up in Taiwan, a nation defined by its precarious relationship with China. My brother was born there and later married the daughter of a Shanghai Communist Party member. That gave me a unique vantage point to observe the culture, ambitions, and strategies of modern China.
What's happening today isn't random. It's deliberate. To understand China's geopolitical moves, you have to understand the legacy of its history and philosophy. For thousands of years, China has played the long game. It doesn't think in election cycles or fiscal quarters—it thinks in dynasties.
Sun Tzu's The Art of War isn't just a relic; it's a playbook. Its principles echo in every aspect of China's strategy:
Sound familiar? These ideas are alive and well in China's strategies today.
China's Chosen Battlefield: AI and Algorithms
China didn't stumble into AI leadership—it chose it.
AI is the perfect weapon for a country that prioritizes control, influence, and long-term domination. The tools of this war are invisible to most, but their effects are profound:
#### 1. Mass Distraction Algorithms
TikTok isn't just an app—it's a weapon. In the West, it feeds users endless loops of trivial dances and dopamine hits, eroding focus and productivity. In China, its counterpart Douyin promotes STEM education, patriotism, and discipline. This isn't cultural coincidence—it's calculated asymmetry.
#### 2. Mass Deception AI
DeepSeek is a prime example of AI weaponized for narrative control. It doesn't just scrub mentions of Tiananmen Square while amplifying criticism of Western policies—it actively reconstructs reality to align with state-approved narratives. The bias is embedded in its very foundation. This isn't just censorship—it's a systematic reprogramming of collective memory, engineered through AI.
#### 3. Mass Domination
By democratizing AI through open-source tools, China is embedding its influence into global ecosystems. DeepSeek's R1 model and Alibaba's QwQ aren't just technological gifts—they're Trojan Horses. They invite the world to use them while subtly aligning with China's values and dependencies.
The Chip War: Turning Weakness into Strength
The United States thought it could choke China's AI ambitions through export restrictions on advanced semiconductors. It was wrong.
Instead of faltering, China innovated. Using watered-down H800 GPUs, Chinese companies like DeepSeek and Alibaba delivered breakthroughs that humiliated Silicon Valley's trillion-dollar giants. DeepSeek's R1 model, built at 5% of the cost of OpenAI GPT-4o, not only matched its performance but shattered the myth of American invincibility.
This isn't just a technological achievement—it's a geopolitical flex. The U.S. may have more advanced hardware, but China's ability to do more with less proves that necessity is still the mother of innovation.
The Truth About Russia: A Pawn in China's Game
While the world fixates on Putin and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, let's be clear: Russia is not the architect of this war. Putin is not the grand strategist he claims to be—he's weak, desperate, and, more importantly, he's being played.
The real power broker behind Russia's aggression? China.
Think about it. Putin's economy was already fragile before the war. His military has been exposed as incompetent, corrupt, and outdated. Russia cannot sustain a long-term war without external support, and China has been strategically enabling Putin's downfall while using him as a geopolitical pawn.
China is playing The Art of War in real-time:
> Putin invaded Ukraine thinking he was solidifying his place in history. Instead, he's becoming Xi Jinping's puppet.
The Taiwan Flashpoint: 36-48 Months to War
While the world is distracted by AI advancements, stock market chaos, and DeepSeek's disruption, the real storm is brewing in Taiwan. Mark my words: China will move on Taiwan within 36-48 months.
Why? The U.S. restricted chip exports to China—the one thing that matters. Meanwhile, China is starving for high-performance chips after U.S. sanctions cut off access to Nvidia's H100s and other cutting-edge semiconductors.
This is the final fuse. China doesn't just want Taiwan; it needs it.
Sun Tzu wrote, "Opportunities multiply as they are seized." China is playing the long game, and the moment Taiwan's economy weakens under pressure from U.S. restrictions, Beijing will seize its opportunity. The West will be too slow, too fragmented, and too caught up in its own bureaucracy to stop it.
> Taiwan won't fall through drawn-out warfare. It will be a blitzkrieg. A rapid, decisive strike that takes advantage of global disarray, economic dependency, and digital warfare.
A Dystopian Scenario: The Next 10 Years
We are standing on the precipice of monumental change. The world isn't preparing for war—it's already at war. Not with tanks, trenches, or missiles, but with algorithms, economic leverage, and fractured alliances.

The Enemy Within
The next 10 years won't just be defined by external conflicts or AI dominance—they will be shaped by self-inflicted wounds.
Isolationism, trade wars, and divisive policies will deepen U.S. fractures, embolden adversaries, and inadvertently strengthen China's global dominance. Europe's nationalism, economic mismanagement, and demographic tensions will push it into irrelevance.
> The real tragedy? The West is killing itself. Sun Tzu's The Art of War teaches that "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle." China is playing this to perfection, watching as its enemies destroy themselves.
What the West Must Do
The West has spent too long playing defense. If it doesn't act decisively, it risks being left behind.
Master AI, or be mastered by it. The final decade of human-controlled history has begun.
