It is of course impossible to capture the current geopolitical development of the world in one blog post, but I will give you an outline in order to offer you some insight into where the world may be heading in the near future. A major influence on this development is played by the powerful countries on this planet, the most influential of which is China with regard to the essence of its strategic strategy. Not by waging war or economical terrorism, but by including less affluent countries in a trade alliance and connecting them to the Chinese Belt and Road initiative providing communication infrastructure and building amazing industrial and transportation projects, while leaving their cultural heritage untouched. China does not have 800 military bases all over the globe, like the US has, to keep countries in check or support regime change in overt or covert intervention; it builds projects all around the earth from which other countries benefit. You know this is factual, especially if you are aware that western mainstream media presents false narratives that are disconnected from what is really taking place.

What is at the start of the geopolitical change that took place in China, in particular was kicked off by Deng Xiao Ping who raised people out of poverty in the time that China was one of the poorest countries in the world. Toward the end of this process 800 million Chinese were raised out of poverty – it lifted more than 60 million people than the combined population of Europe (400 million people) and the US (340 million people) to a standard of living, that allowed them to meaningfully participate in society as socially active person, an economical factor and an
educated citizen. Not one country in the history of mankind has ever accomplished such an immense fact and more specifically in western nations, where no government has initiated such a large scale project from which its population and its industrial significance profited.
Deng Xiaoping
By doing this, Deng Xiao Ping created a huge increase of China’s domestic market, creating a well educated work force, that contributed to forming a productive and intellectual foundation, that are the conditions of growth into a powerful industrial nation. Deng Xiao Ping also made sure that China’s logistic landscape allowed companies to produce swiftly and effectively, which lowers the price of Chinese products and began opening China up to the rest of the world. In the same time western nations were driven into an increasingly fast decline, that is most visible in the shameful explosion of millions of homeless people that crowd the streets, raising crime and drugs dealing. This decline in the development of the west versus the structured rise of China is the logical cause and effect, that resulted in a rapidly distinguished shift of power in today’s world from the west to the east.
Xi Jinping
Xi Jinping followed up on Deng Xiao Ping’s strategic approach, by intensifying China’s ties with Russia, building the Belt and Road network of transport routes all over the planet, focussing on multi-polarity on the global platform and strengthening China’s military, because he was well aware of the fact that China’s growth and progress would worry the other big players on the world stage. Before reaching the helm of China’s government Xi Jinping was governor of two of China’s provinces, where fighting corruption was a main focus of his method of governing, because he realised that entrepreneurs already find it difficult to fight corruption in a company that has a 1000 employees, while Xi Jinping runs a country with 1.44 billion people. An extension of his awareness with regard to fighting corruption, Xi Jinping knows that corruption on a global scale in the political and economic fields has far more consequences than in much less impactful corporate environments, regardless of how detrimental they may be within their sphere of influence, certainly compared to China’s global determinative position.

In view of the power struggle inside the political and economic of today’s world, China always has the upper hand in initiating strategies and response to measures of other powerful countries; it acts and reacts swiftly to the moves of other power structures in the most effective way possible. There can only be one reason why China has manoeuvred itself in this position, whether it is the megalomanic US foreign policy or the woke European political clown show. I think China has compiled a profile of every political or economic decision maker in the west by using advanced AI, by letting AI search all their policies and speeches to form such a profile. They can accurately determine their wit or lack of it, their level of historical awareness or absence of it, their level of insight in current affairs or oblivion to it, the consistency or inconsistency of the way they operate, their position on the ladder of power and of course the influence of the intelligence agencies and Deep State on those players.
With this data collection on each one of them, advanced Chinese AI systems are capable of extracting lists of possible conduct accurately and from that predict what action or response is the most effective way to deal with them, which of course is made available to the top brass of Chinese leadership in the blink of an eye. In addition the one party Chinese government is way more efficient than the western model in which numerous egos fight amongst each other to gain credit, which leads to bad decisions, that requires a lot more time to arrive at. While in the west scores of incompetent idiots whose only cares are to get re-elected or how to please the hidden powers behind the veil, are derisory opposition against the advanced decision making process that the Chinese leadership makes use of.
Apart from its efficient foreign policy China continues to develop advanced domestic projects that all are built to improve its future. Near the Gobi desert China is testing the world's first Thorium nuclear reactor, that has an expected 60 Mega Watts output, that is said to be commercialised in 2030. It is the first step to make the country energy independent when other consequent reactors are built. Thorium based reactors produce far less radioactive nuclear waste than Uranium based reactors and are capable to deliver enough energy for the entire country for the next 20,000 years. This forward thinking and construction is the result of providing elevated educational programs for its citizens.

While there is plenty water in the southern provinces, there is not enough in the northern parts of China. So the Chinese built a 3000 kilometre long, 59 billion USD, channel to provide the arid areas with water.

China even built fish cultivation ponds in the Gobi desert to elevate the standard of living for the population in the Gobi desert. As unlikely as it sounds, these cultivation have already begun to be commercialised. It probably has to do with China's unfavourable demographics that will lead to an aging population and less workers capable of being productive. This also is the reason that the country's health care system is strongly supported to extend the span of citizens productive years.

Huawei, SMIC and SMEE are among the Chinese companies that develop chip hardware at an enormous pace in order to make China less dependent from foreign highly developed digital products. Rumours have it that China is already testing prototypes that will make it fully independent from ASML and TSMC, which also is the result of China's advanced educational system, raised standard of living, less polluted environment and structured health care. Whatever criticism there may be on the Chinese development as expressed in western mainstream media, the Chinese people benefit from it, as well as the people in other countries that welcome the Chinese to help them by building advanced, large scale and complex projects. Current developments in the entire world show that many poor countries invite the Chinese to assist them in boosting their economic and industrial situation.

But of course westerners have already seen it at home that Chinese EV's and PHEV's are numerous in the streets and highways, which was not the case just a few years ago. Except perhaps in the countries that have placed absurdly high absurd tariffs on goods imported from China. But all that does, is make consumer goods expensive as well as Chinese parts and rare earth minerals companies need to build their machines and computers, on food and energy, which is why tariffs do not work to stop the rise of China's development and products, but only elevate the price of all goods for consumers and make the products that their companies export too expensive for markets in other countries. All this was predicted by the Chinese AI systems before the events took place, which allowed China to anticipate and put efficient counter measures in place at lightning speed.
As long as politicians and corporate CEO's in the west rely on their incomplete and often incorrect personal knowledge, while the Chinese use advanced AI to assist their considerations, the west will remain on the backfoot and as a consequence will lose the trade war and global influence. It is a choice not made by me, but what I see is taking place, which will dramatically and swiftly change the balance of power. Like is the case anywhere in the world, reaching a position of influence requires hard work and the proper network and a lot of luck, but once in such a powerful position, it is tempting, but not wise, to think one has reached a point in which decisions can be made from a position of hubris, like for instance Sam Altman that belittled a businessman from India in public, while only a few days later the Chinese DeepSeek trashed Altman's insulting words, because the Chinese AI caused a trillion USD downfall of US ICT corporations.
Automated Hospitals
DeepSeek is used in China to Completely automate hospitals with AI, predominantly DeepSeek. When someone calls a hospital in the US to make an appointment with a physician it take at minimum 31 days to have it and oftentimes much longer, while in China help is often offered instantly. In addition, when scanning a person's mobile phone, his or her medical history is immediately retrieved, while that data stays inside the local hospital's network, that is protected by a firewall. Physicians work with the data generated by the hospitals AI system and almost instantly knows what needs to be done with the client's old or new complaint, which would require days or even months in the US to be achieved. Google's MedPalm AI years ago showed that an AI's diagnostic system scored over 90% accuracy, while a human doctor's analogue approach scores at about 60% in a much longer period of time. DeepSeek has significantly improved on Google's older system. It means that Chinese patients will be helped much faster and with a more increased accuracy. The development of AI systems with healthcare obviously has an enormous benefit over the old ways of diagnosing and providing adequate help to treat a sickness. It is the result of the Chinese government understanding that a healthy or less sick person can be assigned to do better science, development and production job when he or she is receiving better treatment within a much shorter period of time. Basically it is reducing the effect of demographics in a quite an efficient way, which is one of the reasons - besides automating the academic and industrial work forces as well as the military components of China. The result is a considerable leap forward compared to western institutions that have their focus on cost reduction and industry export. In addition China produces 1.3 million stem PhD's per year, while the US produces one tenth of that, while the Chinese adjust the curriculum of their scholars constantly as the industry requirements continue to change, which absolutely not the case in the west. This means that Chinese graduates a much better prepared when the join the development and labour forces. That implies that China's lead in academic and engineering fields is bound to only increase in the years ahead.
Other fields of AI integration
An increasing number of Chinese cities and transport routes are integrated from the ground up to closely collaborate with AI systems. If one city neighbourhood is about to suffer an energy shortage, electricity is rerouted from other neighbourhoods, that have a surplus of energy, to keep every part of cities to maintain optimal functioning. Roads, bridges and tunnels have built in AI monitoring systems that detect faults before the human eye or planned periodic maintenance cycles detect them, that make a quicker response possible, before accidents can take place. Chinese agriculture is increasingly fast relying on fully automated AI systems, by using local IOT sensors, scanning drones, automated self driving tractors and satellites to monitor the entire development of crop growing and life stock development. The result is using much less space by building vertical growing facilities, a 90% water reduction in agriculture, efficient disease and pest control and protection against bad weather, like storms and droughts, that result is healthier and tastier crops in less time all year long, independent from seasonal influence. I wrote a blog article about
Chinese automation of agriculture. All these coordinated measures greatly enhance living conditions, elevated production rates and advance transport routes. Where wester countries focus mainly on cost reduction, exporting industrial facilities - that result in a worrying supply of crucial goods, like rare earth and permanent magnets - the Chinese government successfully aims to significantly improve a wide variety of measures that support fast development in its country wide strategy. The visionary Deng Xiaoping laid the groundwork for this stunningly magnificent development, that the brilliant Xi Jinping extended at great pace. A few decades ago China lifted 800 million residents out of poverty - approximately twice the total population of Europe - to build a strong academic and labour force from which China benefits inside a period that no other country in the world has ever established. Ten major universities are currently situated in Shanghai, all of which rank among the very best in the world, which enables China to continue its long term strategy, towards an even greater advancement over all other countries. Due to China's incredible elevation of advanced industries and mining of rare earth minerals and processing facilities (that control over 90% of the world's rare earth processing), there is little evidence that any other country on this planet will be able to catch up any time soon, because China started to build all the provisionary groundwork decades ago in a very coordinated way and has the intellectual capacity to maintain its head start for a long time into the future.
