Private Chinese technology firms are increasingly leveraging artificial intelligence to track and commercialize real-time intelligence on U.S. military movements, according to a report by The Washington Post. Companies such as MizarVision are reportedly utilizing open-source data and advanced algorithms to map the deployments of U.S. aircraft carrier groups, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, and base-level operations across the Middle East.
While these firms operate within a commercial framework, analysts suggest they are deeply integrated into China’s civil-military fusion strategy, providing the People’s Liberation Army with strategic insights while maintaining diplomatic distance from active conflicts. This shift toward “commercialized espionage” threatens to erode U.S. operational secrecy, turning public data into a potent battlefield weapon in the digital age.
