China uses a warning video games to threat to Taiwan
China has released a propaganda video created by artificial intelligence that turns animals into weapons such as drones and submarines, threatening Taiwan's independence.The video released by the People's Relief Army shows China's autonomous fighting capabilities without frontline troops.Real -life military exercises with live bullets are carried out around Taiwan, raising tensions with the United States and Japan, which supports Taiwan democracy.make
An eagle that targets an island with bionic vision - and turns into a drone.It's as big as a ship.A wolf that turns into a terrestrial drone joins a machine pack and runs through a forest.The series of ridiculous images produced by AI (see below) were released on Monday by the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.The press release, titled "Joint actions to prevent attempts at 'Taiwan independence'", was issued at the same time as a series of military operations began in the island's hinterland - seen by Chinese authorities as a "warning" about independence and foreign powers in the region.

In an analysis published shortly after the video's release, the Global Times - a Chinese newspaper with strong government links - said the video aimed to show Beijing's ability to fight an automated war, without troops on the front lines, using unmanned combat vehicles.
"This AI-generated video contains an impressive logo that not only indicates the possession of drone systems, but also signals the official start of the PLA [People's Liberation Army's] drone war. The video has excited supporters of the military," the Global Times reported.
The Chinese publication also elaborates on each item shown in the video, claiming that the eagles transforming into a fleet of drones will show "PLA's weather secret, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities," while the "sharks" transforming into unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) represent "low-cost, high-altitude water-stealth exploration capabilities."
"This marks the PLA's evolution in operational concepts and doctrines, analysts emphasize. Integrated operations in air, land, sea and space, combined with coordinated capabilities of manned and unmanned systems, allow for devastating attacks that the adversary has no way to evade or hide," the text says."The use of AI by an Eastern theater commander to demonstrate unmanned warfare concepts could serve as a strong response to efforts by Taiwan's pro-independence forces to arm the island with wasted public funds. Such a 'porcupine strategy' doesn't stand a chance against the PLA's innovative and growing combat capabilities," the analyst added.
China, which caught Taironal part of her territor, Monday began military mannered the island, which is historic, which is historic, which is historic, which are history of demula cints in Taipei.China's army, navy, air force and missile units participate in exercises the country authorities see as a warning to "separatity" and action "lawful and effective and national unity".

Taiwan authorities said some areas are less than 12 nautical miles (about 22 km) from the coast and are affecting international sea and air transport routes.Taiwan's chief presidential spokesperson, Karen Kuo, condemned the move, which she called a "military threat", while the country's Ministry of Defense announced that 89 Chinese military aircraft, warships and coast guard vessels had been spotted on Monday - the highest number of Chinese aircraft seen in a single day since October 15, 2014.
