China is rapidly advancing in the AI sector, challenging American dominance with affordable, widely-used tools like ByteDance's Seedance. As China's AI ambition grows, it could reshape global dependencies, affecting both markets and regulatory landscapes, especially outside the West. The development presents a complex issue for liberal democracies balancing technological adoption with political and ethical considerations.

China is making significant strides in the field of artificial intelligence, challenging the supremacy of U.S.-based labs like Google and OpenAI. ByteDance, renowned for TikTok, has launched Seedance 2.0, an AI tool creating high-quality video content, raising concerns about copyright and industry impact.
China's AI strategy is rooted in becoming a global leader by 2030, building inexpensive yet effective AI tools to cultivate widespread global use. This ambition aligns with their vision to position AI as a driving force for economic growth and global cyber influence, potentially creating worldwide dependency on Chinese platforms.
The rise of Chinese AI presents a new dilemma for liberal democracies, which are caught between embracing innovative technologies and avoiding dependence on authoritarian-leaning systems. As China continues to evolve its AI capabilities, the challenge will be managing these complexities in a way that aligns with democratic values.
