DeepSeek is not just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other Chinese AI developers at work in China, all competing against each other. There will arise more iceberg tips for the USA AI developers to overcome and navigate.
Xi Jinping just had a meeting with all the leaders of technology companies in China, including Jack Ma, and this shows the priority that Xi is placing to position and inculcate moves to make China conquer the AI sector as well.
Apple is already aware of how fast the AI sector is moving in China by tying up with Alibaba's Qwen for its iPhone development in China going forward. China is the market that is still important for Apple, which is why such a move by Apple is necessary. USA AI developers are not going to find any foothold in China, even knowing that this is the one market that they are coveting.
Moreover, in other parts of the world, with DeepSeek's open source and Alibaba's Qwen also open source, China is going to corner the market for AI usage in BRICS and the Global South. What does that leave for USA AI developers? They were investing hundreds of billions hoping to reap the benefits but is now having to lick their wounds and considering whether to pour in further hundreds of billions into a useless black hole.

2025 is going to be the year that will see China coming out and making all the news that are going to be really eliciting 'shock and awe'.
AI is already clearly trotted out for all to see, and DeepSeek's rollout is just the beginning of the sighting of the tip of many other icebergs. Huawei and Alibaba among others have still not yet opened their cards on the table. There are undoubtedly some strategic moves on hand arising from the meeting between Xi and leaders of technology companies in China. The timing was no accident, right at the start of 2025.
2025 will not just be about flexing the economic and technology muscle of China. China is also no longer playing cat and mouse regarding it military expansion with the rollout of its 6th generation fighter jet and the Fujian aircraft carrier with two nuclear subs on the way.
There is a hue and cry over China's naval exercise in International Waters of the Tasman Sea. This is International Waters, right, and is not infringing on anyone's territorial waters. What the USA and West can do in International Waters close to China, China can do the same as well. All is fair in love and war. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. China should do it more often - in Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, Sea of Japan and Philippine Sea and let them have a taste of what it feels like when their warships do naval exercises near to China.
I believe China is confident enough to be more assertive in safeguarding its rights and protecting its turf. It is no longer prepared to play goody two shoes against all the Mickeys thinking they have the great USA behind them.
