The Algorithmic Alliance: China’s Bid for Global AI Control

At the APEC Summit, Xi Jinping proposed a “World AI Cooperation Organization” (WAICO) based in Shanghai.

The pitch: international collaboration.
The reality: algorithmic centralization-a global structure that could bind nations, data, and innovation under one rulebook.

In this episode, I map WAICO across the Sovereign Stack: Compute & Communication + Governance. Exit Ability collapses, Accountable Autonomy drops, and Quiet Sovereignty becomes the only lawful defense.
