China's scared that Western-trained AI will push Western ideology.

They're not wrong. Every model is biased by its training data. If you train on Reddit, Twitter, and US news, you get US worldviews baked in.

This is why China's building its own AI stack from scratch. Same reason they banned Google and built Baidu.

For crypto? This matters more than you think.

AI agents are coming. If they're all trained on Western data, they'll favor Western narratives, Western exchanges, Western regulations.

China won't let that slide. Expect:
- Chinese AI models powering Chinese DeFi
- Separate AI-agent ecosystems (East vs West)
- Fragmented liquidity across AI-driven protocols

The AI wars are the new Cold War. And crypto's caught in the middle.
