China is using AI to monitor every aspect of life of every citizen in its country by integrating it into every technology used in daily life, A report from the Australian Strategic Policy Institute shows how China has been building the very central-controlled AI-mass-machine many in the west hope to bring over here. The cutting edge nature of their pre-crime surveillance capacity is the envy of the world for oligarchs everywhere, and thus will define the next decade or more.
Report reveals how China uses artificial intelligence to surveil 1,4 billion people – CPG Click Petróleo e Gás
A document from the Australian institute ASPI shows how China integrates cameras, drones, courts, prisons, and tech giants into an AI ecosystem that automates censorship, predicts protests, monitors minorities, and exports inexpensive mass surveillance models used by other authoritarian countries, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, around the world.
In a report cited in a news article by CNN Brazil, Published on December 6, 2025, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute describes how China has been using artificial intelligence to transform its surveillance apparatus into a system capable of… Predicting protests, monitoring prisoners, and controlling what 1,4 billion people can see online.The document points out that technology is already infiltrating daily life, connecting the Great Firewall, cameras scattered throughout cities, and digital monitoring tools to a single political project.

A growing number of ultra-wealthy Chinese nationals are turning to U.S. surrogates to have children on American soil, taking advantage of America’s largely unregulated market and birthright citizenship, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
In one such case, Chinese video game billionaire Xu Bo has sought parental rights for at least four unborn children in Los Angeles, having already fathered or arranged surrogacy for at least eight additional children, according to the WSJ. The trend coincides with intensifying debates over the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of U.S. citizenship for anyone born in the country, a policy the Trump administration has sought to reinterpret.

The daughter of pro-democracy activist, businessman, former newspaper owner, and Catholic convert Jimmy Lai has spoken out for the first time since her father’s incarceration five years ago as his trial under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law (NSL) continues to plod along.
In an EWTN video interview and in a Washington Post op-ed, Clarie Lai says that her father, who just turned 78 years old, is languishing in prison, “shrinking to nothing. If China fails to act, he’ll be a martyr.”
“My father is suffering from rapidly deteriorating health,” Claire wrote in the Post. “He has diabetes and hypertension, his hearing and vision are failing, he has suffered from months-long infections and is in constant pain that sometimes leaves him struggling even to stand up. But the most visible and alarming sign of his plight is severe weight loss.”
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will permit semiconductor giant Nvidia to export its high-end H200 chips to China, potentially handing Beijing a boost in the battle for artificial intelligence supremacy. In characteristic fashion, Trump is insisting on the U.S. government taking a 25 percent cut of the sales.
The H200 isn’t Nvidia’s most advanced chip, but it outclasses the cut-down models that Nvidia had designed especially for the Chinese market. The deal is undoubtedly a product of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s lobbying in Washington, but it also appears designed to curry favor with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with whom Trump hopes to secure a significant trade agreement.
The move comes amid a flurry of conciliatory behavior toward China. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, is reportedly tasked with blocking any U.S. government action that could jeopardize a potential trade deal with Beijing. Vice President J.D. Vance has been echoing Chinese rhetoric, and the administration effectively killed legislation that would have required U.S. firms to offer the government first-purchase rights on key chips.

Another South American country has gone “far-right” and the timing couldn’t be better for the U.S. as it seeks to secure its critical mineral supply chain.
Several weeks ago, Bolivia elected Rodrigo Paz as its new president. He promptly planned to scrap a ream of taxes as one of his first moves since becoming the nation’s first conservative leader in nearly two decades.
The government has also repaired relations with Washington after years of anti-American hostility dating back to when ex-President Evo Morales, a charismatic coca-growing union leader, kicked out the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 and cozied up to Russia, Iran and Venezuela.
The U.S. State Department has already announced agreements on nuclear cooperation and security assistance, and Paz has said his administration will allow Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate in Bolivia for the first time, after his predecessor refused to give it an operating license last year.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has warned the Western Balkan country faces a major crisis as its largest oil refinery prepares to shut down unless US sanctions authorities approve an operating license by Thursday.
The Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS) refinery is currently operating in “warm circulation” — a reduced-capacity mode — and has four days until complete shutdown unless approval comes from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control, Vučić said in an address to the nation.
“It will take 14 days to restart, but in reality it will be more than that. Count on 20 days or more,” he said. “That means the refinery would not be operating until the New Year and even after that.”
President Donald Trump spoke with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping by telephone on Monday and said he has accepted an invitation from Xi to visit Beijing in April for a face-to-face meeting.
The Chinese government officially announced the phone call between Trump and Xi first, describing it as an upbeat and friendly conversation about issues including Ukraine, Taiwan, and international trade.
“As far as I know, the call was initiated by the U.S. side, and the atmosphere was positive, friendly, and constructive. Communication between the two heads of state on issues of common concern is very important for the stable development of China-U.S. relations,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday morning.
According to the Foreign Ministry, Xi stressed during the call that China’s authority over Taiwan is an “integral part of the postwar international order,” and suggested the U.S. and China should “jointly safeguard the victory of World War 2.”
Those of us paying attention noticed that among the illegals flowing over our borders during Biden’s Handlers’ term were thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of military aged, fit Chinese men. We also took note that no one enters or leaves China without the commie’s consent, and the people showing up at our borders didn’t walk across the Pacific. The Biden DHS was eventually forced to grudgingly admit that at least some of those guys just might be members of the Chinese military. They didn’t inform us what they did with them, so we can reasonably believe most, if not all, remain in American and we have no idea of their locations or identities.
We also know China, through various cutouts, has been buying up large swaths of American farmland, and plenty of that adjacent to military installations. The Bidenites were unconcerned, even helpful to the commies. Sure, a few congressmen raised alarms, but our number one international “competitor” undergoing a massive military buildup to include intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, continues to buy land in places that allow them to spy on our military installations—and worse.
