In "The Red Shadow: China’s AI War Machines and the Emerging Global Threats," former intelligence operative Ethan Steele delivers a gripping exposé on the dawn of a new era in warfare. Drawing from decades of covert operations, intel, and firsthand investigations, Steele unveils China's relentless pursuit of AI dominance, transforming the People's Liberation Army (PLA) into a force of autonomous killers—drones, swarms, robotic infantry, and underwater predators that operate with chilling independence.

The book traces China's "Silicon Dragon" rise, from national strategies like the 2017 Next Generation AI Development Plan and Made in China 2025, to the integration of AI in lethal systems such as the FH-97A "loyal wingman" drones, VU-T10 robotic tanks, and cognitive electronic warfare tools that hijack enemy radars. Steele warns of "intelligentized warfare," where AI-driven swarms overwhelm defenses, quantum-encrypted satellites form orbital "kill webs," and generative models process intel faster than humans, blurring lines between peace and conflict.

Exploring historical foundations, key developments, ethical quagmires, and global ripple effects, Steele paints a stark picture of existential risks: accidental escalations, loss of human accountability, and an arms race threatening U.S. supremacy, Taiwan's security, and international stability. With chapters on countermeasures, future scenarios, and policy recommendations, this 2025 testament is a urgent call to action—urging the West to awaken before China's red shadow engulfs the world in machine-led chaos. A must-read for policymakers, military strategists, and anyone concerned with the AI abyss ahead.
