China’s foreign ministry has formally criticized the framing of artificial intelligence development as a source of "malicious competition." Spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that narratives centered on threats and confrontation are counterproductive to global governance efforts, arguing that such rhetoric serves no one's interests. Instead, he advocated for an inclusive, open approach to technological advancement.
The comments arrive amid escalating tensions between the world's two largest economies, both of which view AI as a critical component of national security and future economic dominance. While U.S. President Donald Trump has emphasized the necessity of maintaining a lead over China, industry leaders—including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman—have recently called for a coordinated slowdown in development to address safety concerns and existential risks.
Experts remain skeptical about the potential for a formal U.S.-China regulatory pact. Chang Jun Yan, an assistant professor at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, noted that because AI is tied to core national security interests, meaningful cooperation on safety protocols is "next to impossible." Despite this, there are indications that both nations recognize the inherent risks of the technology. Chinese state security minister Chen Yixin recently emphasized the need to balance innovation with security, while also warning against the exploitation of AI by "hostile forces."
As Washington and Beijing prepare for upcoming diplomatic engagements, including a potential summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, AI is expected to be a key topic of discussion. Analysts suggest that for the U.S., the race is not merely about technological superiority but about maintaining control over the strategic infrastructure of the next industrial era.
