U.S vs. China

China Challenges U.S. with Global AI Governance Proposal

China is making a bold move in the AI race. At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Premier Li Qiang proposed creating a global AI cooperation group to counter U.S. dominance. The message is clear: if the U.S. wants to control AI, China is offering a more inclusive alternative, particularly appealing to developing nations.

What to know:

  • Li Qiang warns AI could become “an exclusive game” without international rules.

  • Proposed global AI organization could be headquartered in Shanghai, per Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu.

  • Li criticized U.S. tech monopolies and export restrictions without naming names.

  • China promises to share its AI tools and expertise, targeting the Global South.

  • Trump’s new AI Action Plan focuses on maintaining U.S. dominance with 90+ federal measures.

  • Despite chip bans, China’s AI sector thrives, with DeepSeek’s model rivaling top U.S. systems.

  • Over 800 companies showcased 3,000+ AI tools in Shanghai, including Huawei, Alibaba, Tesla, Amazon, and Alphabet.

  • UN’s António Guterres and Eric Schmidt both called for U.S.-China collaboration.

On a podcast appearance, he noted that unlike chats with a doctor or lawyer, AI interactions aren't shielded by privilege, meaning they could be accessed in legal proceedings.
