US Accuses China of AI Theft

The escalating technological rivalry between Washington and Beijing has entered a new phase with formal accusations of state-sponsored AI espionage.

White House officials allege that Chinese entities are leveraging compromised infrastructure to systematically siphon intellectual property from U.S. labs.

The administration is reportedly weighing significant new sanctions ahead of a planned summit between President Trump and President Xi Jinping in May.

China's embassy has dismissed the claims as 'baseless allegations,' while U.S. security agencies warn that compromised consumer gadgets like routers are being used as proxies for these attacks.
