And given happenings like the death in captivity of Liu Xiaobo, that should scare the living hell out of you.

  ...looks like the first prototype of 1984 will go live in China. First of all Chinese should be worried but to my constant surprise many don't.

    Many simply don't know. For instance, Liu Xiaobo was banned from public speaking and it was banned to publish his writing. I won't be surprised if he was better known outside China than inside.

  No idea why this is being downvoted. It's a very salient point. The death of a nobel laureate while in captivity as a political prisoner last occurred in Germany in 1938. Much as people should have been scared by German rocket and tank tech in the 30's, they should be scared of Chinese AI tech today. its not an unreasonable assumption that this technology is going to be used for things that run counter to the values of many people in US, with the enhancement of the domestic security apparatus and control of the media chief among them.
