China’s military modernization

China’s military modernization is advancing at an extraordinary pace, driven by its CMF strategy, which integrates technological advancements from the private sector directly into the PLA. A key component of this transformation is the use of AI (人工智能) for cognitive warfare (认知战), a strategy akin to Chapter 3 of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, which is aimed at shaping battlefield conditions and manipulating the perceptions of adversaries long before kinetic conflict begins. By leveraging AI-driven predictive modeling (人工智能预测建模), behavioral analytics (行为分析), and social control mechanisms (社会控制机制), Beijing seeks to offset the PLA’s fundamental weakness: its lack of modern combat experience. สล็อต
