The bottom line is that Chaillan’s spreading propaganda. He’s employing a centuries-old racist trope called the “China Bogeyman.” The US has used it for decades to justify its bloated defense budget to the public.
The idea is that US citizens should be scared of China not because of its academic, economic, or military technologies. But because of the sheer fact that there are 1.5 billion people in that country who aren’t Americans.
Chaillan’s using the China Bogeyman and his former positions as an IT boss for the Air Force and the Pentagon as a political tool. Whether his goal is to run for office or a to get a lofty consulting position at a conservative-leaning organization, it’s clear what the purpose of Chaillan’s outlandish statements are: to pressure the public into believing their safety relies on doing whatever it takes to ward off the imminent threat posed by the mere existence of 1.5 billion people in China.
It’s a baseless argument against the development of ethical AI and policies restricting the US from creating and using harmful AI technologies.
