I think you've missed the point.

PRC isn't going to do any of the things you are asking for, and no one expects them to. The threat of an AI powered China is really obvious to me, but apparently the idea of "IP theft and industrial sabotage, but at scale with AI agents instead of human meat sacks" is hard to clearly articulate.

One method, beyond AI powered kill chains, to counter an AI powered China is of course strategic weapons.
