PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Although China's AI safety framework emphasizes risk, it actually prioritizes development, with regulation focused on application outputs rather than frontier models. This could lead to fragmentation in global AI governance; the US should pay attention to China's speed advantage and avoid letting safety measures slow its own innovation.
