Oh, yeah, absolutely. So TikTok is a national security threat, and that's because it gives the Chinese Communist Party enormous algorithmic power in addition to data gathering abilities. The algorithmic power is really the important point that I think people don't emphasize enough.

It's the ability to reach billions of people on this app who might be young, who might be impressionable, who might fall under the sway of Chinese Communist Party propaganda and In the event of, say, an invasion of Taiwan, the Chinese government has threatened Taiwan. It has threatened war around the region. And we need to be ready and aware for that possibility.

It's not out of the realm of what is possible in the coming years. And I'm not being alarmist. That's literally what they say. So deep-seek is not – I wouldn't call it a national security threat yet, but an impending national security threat. And the reason I start on that assumption –

is because Chinese law requires everybody in China at the demand of the Ministry of State Security, which is China's CIA and FBI rolled into one, to hand over data, to cooperate in intelligence gathering, basically do what the Chinese government says or face jail time. This AI is a part of China's national strategy. It's not merely a matter of

making a chat bot and allowing people to play around with it. This is a part of China's national strategy, even though I think we both agree, you know, these were outsiders. This was a startup that wasn't really involved with the Chinese state. They will be soon without a doubt because the Chinese government will require it. And this isn't just about generative AI. There's lots of types of AI.

I saw it when I was in China, when I was investigating surveillance AI, so facial recognition technology, a lot of this being developed with the help of software developers who are trained by Microsoft and other American companies being sent out there to set up an AI system, which, by the way, the Chinese government literally called Skynet. I mean, it's like right out of Terminator.

And this is a predictive policing model that they use in Western China They would attempt to predict whether somebody would commit a terrorist act or a crime of any kind, send police to their house, take them away to a concentration camp for what they call re-education, which is a form of psychological torture.
