Taiwan boasts of not fearing J-20? The Chinese People's Liberation Army has put a "secret weapon" into use and played the technology to a new height.

The worst thing the United States didn't want to see has happened! The People's Liberation Army "team up" with DeepSeek.

In the midst of the vigorous promotion of global technological innovation by artificial intelligence (AI), China's self-developed DeepSeek has quietly become a standout presence, influencing researchers in libraries and deeply penetrating into China's government agencies, PLA units, and medical systems, bringing about substantial changes.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Its technological potential also provides military experts with new imaginative space, especially in hotspots like the Taiwan Strait situation.

1. China takes technology to new heights

If there's one major hotspot in the AI field, it's undoubtedly DeepSeek.

DeepSeek is also known as "Deep Pursuit," an AI product launched last year by a Chinese enterprise, featuring numerous core functions.

For instance, it leverages the most advanced natural language processing technologies to accurately interpret user intent. Whether facing complex queries or ambiguous questions, the system can provide clear and detailed answers.

Moreover, text generation and creation are another powerful function of DeepSeek. Whether writing articles, reports, emails, or creating stories and poetry, the system can handle these tasks effortlessly.

Its batch generation and content framework optimization capabilities help users quickly gain inspiration and materials. This means that users can focus more on deep content creation rather than tedious basic data collection, greatly improving creative efficiency.

Now, with the PLA taking both hard and soft measures against Taiwan, many U.S. media outlets have speculated that DeepSeek might be used by the PLA to enhance its combat capabilities against Taiwan.

2. Boasting invulnerability to J-20s? The PLA uses a "secret weapon"?

With the launch of the DeepSeek-v3 model, some analysts have imagined that after Taiwan spent heavily on purchasing a batch of F-16Vs, they boasted no longer fearing the J-20. In this case, could the DeepSeek-v3 model combine with the existing attack-11 drones to effectively counter the F-16V fighters across the Taiwan Strait in potential conflicts.

After all, against the backdrop of increasingly tense cross-strait relations, if military conflict breaks out between the two sides, the possibility of encounters between attack-11 and F-16V is extremely high.

According to reports from CCTV, the attack-11 drone possesses similar air combat capabilities to the J-20 fighter jets, meaning it can not only execute missions to strike enemy aerial units but also help seize and maintain air superiority.

Thus, the combination of attack-11 with AI presents a seemingly simple yet highly significant question.

Although equipped with advanced radar and weapons systems, F-16V's disadvantages are undoubtedly magnified when faced with the stealth capabilities rivaling those of the J-20 attack-11. On the battlefield, the principle of "destroy upon detection" gives the "invisible" attack-11 absolute dominance over the "visible" F-16V.

Additionally, F-16V has not yet achieved full AI control and still relies on the pilot's reaction, while the attack-11 drone,凭借高性能AI, can automatically make decisions within 0.1 seconds, thus easily mastering battlefield initiative. In this way, Taiwan would find it difficult to bridge the technological gap with the PLA solely through these F-16Vs.

3. A unique advantage in the AI field

However, it should be emphasized that the PLA's application of AI technology remains very cautious. Therefore, DeepSeek is limited to non-combat domains; the so-called "weaponization of AI" is merely sensationalism by Western media.

In fact, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense emphasized the security risks of developing AI military applications as early as 2023. Prior to this, China also submitted a document to the United Nations regarding "lethal autonomous weapon systems," suggesting their classification management under "acceptable" and "unacceptable" categories.

This has clearly demonstrated that China not only focuses on national security but also places equal importance on maintaining global humanitarian security.

Of course, it cannot be denied that AI has become the focal point of future national comprehensive strength competition. According to The Diplomat, although the U.S. is making rapid progress in this field, China has a unique advantage—energy.

To be more precise, it is the low cost of electricity, which provides China with competitiveness in AI development.

Analysts point out that China leads the U.S. significantly in energy-intensive infrastructure construction for AI and in power grid development. These advantages combined not only provide China with a competitive edge over the U.S. but also further narrow the gap between the two countries in the AI field.

4. DeepSeek is limited to non-combat domains

Recently, according to a report by Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, the Central Theater Command General Hospital of the PLA has authorized the use of DeepSeek technology to improve the accuracy of treatment recommendations. Of course, similar technical deployments are gradually being implemented in other hospitals as well.

The core of this cooperation project lies in close collaboration with technology enterprises, leveraging their advanced hardware and reasoning platforms to successfully deploy the DeepSeek-R1 model. Furthermore, through the MaxKB tool, a localized knowledge base was constructed.

Notably, the entire system design and implementation strictly follow the principle of "data not leaving the hospital," ensuring the security and privacy of patient information.

This move undoubtedly reveals that the military medicine sector is advancing toward greater intelligence and informatization, significantly enhancing medical services and research capabilities. More importantly, this cross-sector cooperation model may offer new ideas and inspirations for medical innovations worldwide.
