China MFA Warns AI Threat Narratives Could Disrupt Global Governance

Beijing is framing AI governance as a shared-interest issue precisely as US firms cast its progress as a strategic threat, which puts the two largest AI ecosystems on different rhetorical tracks heading into any future rule-setting. The practical stake is whether technical standards, safety norms and market access get negotiated multilaterally or fragment along national lines — a split that would matter most for cross-border RWA and crypto-AI projects that depend on interoperable rules. Whether this remains diplomatic positioning or hardens into policy is the open question.
