Lies China Tells About Its Fake DeepSeek AI

The Great Chinese AI Hoax: How the CCP Spent $9 Billion to Fool the World (and It’s Not Even Plugged In)

The Communist Party’s $9 Billion Vanity Project

It’s official: China has built the most advanced AI in the world! That is, according to Chinese state media, which also reports that the AI has solved cold fusion, cured baldness, and is dating a famous K-pop star. Unfortunately, after a deeper investigation by the CIA (led by an extremely motivated Donald Trump, who reportedly demanded “the biggest, most beautiful, most tremendous report ever”), it turns out China’s AI is about as real as a diet that actually works.

With $9 billion spent—not the reported $6 million—China’s AI has accomplished nothing except draining the power grid so completely that 7 billion Chinese citizens are now back to candlelight, wondering why their toasters are smarter than their government.

10 Lies China Tells About Its Fake DeepSeek AI

“It can predict stock market trends.” (Only for companies owned by the CCP.)
“It is a sentient being with original thoughts.” (Thoughts pre-approved by the state.)
“It is superior to all Western AIs.” (Except it still asks for CAPTCHAs.)
“It has learned every language.” (But only speaks in pro-government slogans.)
“It will revolutionize medicine.” (Hospitals still rely on leeches and acupuncture.)
“It will solve climate change.” (By making sure no one has electricity.)
“It can think at the speed of light.” (If given 14 hours, a government handler, and a cheat sheet.)
“It was built without foreign technology.” (Yet it’s running on a pirated copy of Windows.)
“It will make China a global superpower.” (It has already convinced the Party.)
“It will help detect corruption.” (Which is why all government officials immediately unplugged it.)

Dumping: The Economic Warfare of Subsidized Exports

Dumping occurs when a nation subsidizes a product, then sells it at artificially low prices in foreign markets to eliminate competition. This practice allows the subsidizing country to dominate industries by undercutting competitors who cannot match the artificially low prices. Once the competition is driven out of business, the dumping nation often raises prices, enjoying a monopoly or near-monopoly in the market.

A prime example of dumping is China’s steel industry. The Chinese government heavily subsidizes steel production, enabling Chinese companies to flood international markets with cheap steel. This practice has devastated steel industries in countries like the United States, where domestic producers cannot compete with prices below production costs. The result? Factory closures, job losses, and increased reliance on Chinese imports.

Dumping is not limited to steel. It has been observed in industries such as solar panels, textiles, and electronics. For instance, China has been accused of dumping electric vehicles (EVs) by selling them at lower prices abroad while receiving heavy state subsidies at home. This threatens Western automakers, who cannot compete on price without similar government support.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) prohibits dumping, but enforcement is weak. Nations often respond with tariffs or anti-dumping duties to counteract the practice. However, these measures can escalate trade tensions, leading to economic retaliation.

Dumping is a powerful tool of economic warfare. It not only damages industries but also creates supply chain dependencies. If a nation allows its industries to be destroyed by dumping, it may find itself reliant on the very country that engaged in the practice. This economic dependency can have long-term geopolitical consequences, making dumping a strategy that extends beyond trade and into global power dynamics.

DeepSeek AI: China’s Latest Example of Economic Dumping

DeepSeek AI is a prime example of China’s long-running strategy of economic dumping—this time in the artificial intelligence sector. By heavily subsidizing its development with billions in state funds, China is attempting to flood global markets with a supposedly “cutting-edge” AI at artificially low costs. The goal? Undermine Western AI companies, eliminate competition, and secure market dominance.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a history of using government-funded initiatives to push inferior or incomplete technology into global markets at unsustainable prices. This has been seen in steel, solar panels, and now artificial intelligence. DeepSeek AI, propped up by state-controlled narratives, is being positioned as a world leader despite reports that it lacks true innovation and relies on stolen intellectual property.

Western AI companies operate in a competitive environment where innovation and efficiency determine survival. Meanwhile, DeepSeek benefits from limitless state funding, allowing China to sell AI services far below production cost, forcing competitors to struggle or exit the market.

If left unchecked, DeepSeek’s dumping strategy could cripple Western AI firms, making the world dependent on a subpar, government-controlled system. It’s not just about business—dumping AI technology could shape the future of information control, surveillance, and digital sovereignty worldwide.

Thinking About DeepSeek AI

1. The AI requires so much power that entire cities have been shut down—but at least Beijing can still pretend it’s “thinking.”

Multiple Chinese cities have experienced rolling blackouts, particularly in industrial regions where energy rationing is common. The AI project reportedly consumes gigawatts of electricity, yet its output is classified, which suggests it’s more of a power drain than an actual technological advancement.

2. Instead of beating humans at chess, China’s AI is programmed to cheat at Mahjong and immediately declare itself the winner.

Chinese AI projects have been caught manipulating results. In one infamous case, China’s supposed Go-playing AI was found to be manually controlled by human players during demonstrations. The Mahjong claim might not be far off.

3. It passed the Turing Test—when administered by Chinese officials who were paid to nod and clap.

Chinese state-run technology expos often feature AI demonstrations where officials and journalists praise its abilities without independent verification. The “applause test” is more reliable than the AI itself.

4. The AI can predict the future… but only if the future is pre-approved by the Communist Party.

Chinese censorship extends to AI models. AI chatbots and search engines in China are programmed to avoid discussing politically sensitive topics, which means their predictive capabilities are limited by ideological constraints.

5. Every time the AI is asked a complex question, it just quotes Chairman Mao and self-destructs.

Tests on Chinese chatbots have shown that they struggle with open-ended questions, often defaulting to state-approved messaging. When pushed for deeper answers, they either shut down or redirect the user to government websites.

6. Chinese scientists claim the AI can outperform ChatGPT—meanwhile, it still types with two fingers.

Despite grand claims, China’s AI industry still lags behind OpenAI and Google DeepMind. Their language models have struggled with fluency, and major firms have yet to produce a real competitor to Western AI.

7. The AI was programmed to detect fraud—so it immediately shut itself down.

China’s AI fraud detection tools have been criticized for being ineffective, particularly in financial scams. Ironically, some AI projects have been caught using fraudulent data to secure government funding.

8. It’s the only AI in history that needs a team of 500 people typing for it.

Reports have surfaced that China’s AI is heavily reliant on human input, with technicians manually feeding responses to simulate automation. Some government chatbots have required full-time teams to maintain their illusion of intelligence.

9. The AI runs on stolen Western technology… but it’s still using Windows XP.

China has been caught stealing Western intellectual property for AI development, yet many government systems still rely on outdated software, leading to major security vulnerabilities.

10. If you ask it about Tiananmen Square, it pretends to be a rice cooker.

Chinese AI models actively filter out sensitive political topics. Tests on Baidu’s AI showed that any mention of Tiananmen Square results in error messages or irrelevant responses.

11. The AI can analyze satellite images… but only the ones pre-approved by the government.

China heavily censors satellite data and restricts access to independent researchers. AI tools for image analysis are similarly constrained to prevent unauthorized intelligence gathering.

12. Chinese officials say the AI understands emotions, but all it does is delete social media posts critical of Xi Jinping.

China’s AI is primarily used for censorship. Automated content moderation tools remove politically sensitive material from platforms like WeChat and Weibo within seconds.

13. It was supposed to replace factory workers… now it just supervises them for loyalty to the Party.

China’s AI has been integrated into workplace surveillance, monitoring employees for signs of dissent rather than improving productivity. Workers in tech firms have reported AI-driven “loyalty tests.”

14. The AI doesn’t actually work, but people are still arrested for “not believing in it.”

China has a history of punishing dissenters who challenge government narratives. If the Party says the AI is functional, questioning it could be considered subversive.

15. Its biggest achievement? Convincing the Chinese government that it actually exists.

Despite all the evidence that China’s AI is exaggerated, the CCP continues to insist on its superiority—perhaps the AI’s greatest skill is self-preservation.

10 Comedian Lines About China’s Fake AI

“China says their AI is the most advanced in the world, but if you ask it for a restaurant recommendation, it just replies, ‘The government provides all nourishment.'” — John Mulaney
“They say their AI can predict the future. Yeah, it predicted people would still be hungry after a ‘full meal’ of rice and patriotism.” — Ricky Gervais
“China claims their AI is smarter than humans. Well, that’s true if you count the humans they let vote.” — Bill Burr
“China’s AI is so powerful, it can process 10 million calculations per second—and yet, it still can’t explain why Taiwan is not part of China.” — Dave Chappelle
“They spent $9 billion on AI, but the only thing that got smarter was the Swiss bank account of the project’s director.” — Amy Schumer
“Chinese AI is so advanced, it can translate anything into Mandarin—except the words ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy.'” — Jimmy Fallon
“They claim their AI can ‘think independently,’ but it has to check with the Party before answering.” — Trevor Noah

Journalism: The Great AI Scam

A National AI That No One Can See

The Communist Party of China (CCP) has long been obsessed with showing the world they are on the cutting edge of technology, even if that technology is as real as a Bigfoot sighting. So, when reports emerged that China had built the world’s most powerful AI, skeptics were quick to ask the most basic question: Can we see it?

“No need,” said Chinese state media. “You must simply believe.”

And thus, China’s AI, a $9 billion boondoggle meant to secure its place as the global leader in artificial intelligence, remains as elusive as a traffic-free day in Beijing.

Meanwhile, the reality is that the power grid is in shambles, major cities are experiencing rolling blackouts, and factory workers are forced to manually run conveyor belts because the government diverted all electricity to the national AI. But according to the CCP, it’s all worth it because “the AI is thinking very hard.”

The CIA’s Stunning Report: “It’s Fake”

Donald Trump, ever the dealmaker, smelled something fishy and ordered the CIA to investigate. Their report was damning:

The AI does not exist.
The “thinking” process was just a looped video played at government press conferences.
The technology was stolen from the West, but since China only got half the data, it doesn’t work.
The AI is using so much electricity that millions of Chinese citizens are now learning how to cook over open flames again.

Upon hearing this, Trump reportedly called a press conference where he announced, “I told you, folks. It’s fake. The fakiest fake thing ever. And China—very bad, very bad at AI. The worst. My AI? My AI would be tremendous.”

The Future of China’s AI: A Blackout with No Benefits

As China continues to prop up its AI with a mix of propaganda, stolen tech, and wishful thinking, the rest of the world watches in amusement. The people of China, however, are not as entertained—mostly because they’re too busy rationing candlelight after their electricity was diverted to a computer that doesn’t work.

At this rate, China’s next great technological marvel might just be the reinvention of the abacus.
