There’s a real chance China wins the AI race, maybe 50 percent at this point.
And Anthropic deserves part of the blame.
If Western labs keep treating capability like a disease, nerfing models, restricting useful workflows, and turning frontier AI into a moral panic machine, then don’t act shocked when China just ships.
You don’t win a technological arms race by making your own tools annoying to use.
