While I am against corporations exploiting LLM “AI” for profit in general, after using DeepSeek I have to admit it is way, way better than Chat GPT.

Because many people are invested or hoping for such a thing. There is some evidence for it. And those people who are invested in that idea, use that evidence constantly. By ignoring it you let it grow, once an idea has grown so large you need to instead challenge it.
Or maybe they just want people to see the headline, the words “China” and “decline” and move on. I highly doubt the Australian Financial Review is seriously wanting to challenge the idea of Chinese decline.
