China Rebuts AI Malicious Competition Claims
KEY FACTS
- The Chinese Foreign Ministry criticized the "threat narrative" for disrupting global AI governance.
- Beijing urged all parties to jointly promote open and inclusive AI development.
- Trump emphasized ensuring US leadership in AI over China.
- Experts analyze that a US-China agreement on AI regulation is highly unlikely.
PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The US-China AI rivalry has escalated from a technology race to a core geopolitical issue. Beijing seeks to counter US containment by building multilateral cooperation frameworks, while Washington prioritizes unilateral advantage. Although both sides share concerns about frontier risks, zero-sum thinking driven by national security logic makes substantive regulatory coordination nearly impossible, accelerating the fragmentation of global AI governance.
