China's $0 Way To Clone American AI

Let me tell you what the White House just put on paper.

=== SHORT_SCRIPT ===
Let me tell you what the White House just put on paper.

This week, the Office of Science and Technology Policy released a memo. It is called Adversarial Distillation of American AI Models. Inside the building, they call it NSTM-4. And what it says, in plain English, is that the United States government now has evidence that China is running an industrial scale operation to clone American AI.

Not steal weights. Not break into a data center. Something far harder to stop. They are typing into the chatbot.

The receipts come from Anthropic. Twenty four thousand fake accounts. Sixteen million Claude exchanges. Three Chinese labs: MiniMax, Moonshot AI, and DeepSeek. They did not break in. They simply BOUGHT API access through commercial proxies and ran a giant data harvesting operation through the front door.

The memo dropped April twenty third. DeepSeek V4 launched the next day. Trump and Xi meet in Beijing on May fourteenth. None of that timing is an accident.

This is the moment the AI cold war stopped being a metaphor.

Stay sharp.

A photorealistic tight close-up portrait of a poised woman in her early 30s with a quietly-alarmed, measured expression, dark blazer, minimalist styling, no jewelry that catches light.

Single hard key light from upper-left at ~4600K, minimal fill on the right at 15% intensity, deep shadow on the right jaw, subtle rim light from behind-right. Direct eye contact with the camera. 9:16 portrait framing, face fills 60% of frame width, ultrarealistic, sharp focus, shallow depth of field, clean rendering, austere, restrained, authoritative.
