TREE NEWS update: The 2026 China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Ministerial Roundtable was held in Nanning, Guangxi, bringing together AI-related government representatives from China and 11 ASEAN countries, along with ASEAN diplomats in China and delegates from key AI enterprises, research institutions and financial institutions. In the roundtable session, participants held in-depth discussions on AI development, governance, application and industrial cooperation, focused on AI safety and ethics and data and security cooperation.
China-ASEAN AI Ministerial Roundtable Held in Nanning
The inclusion of financial institutions alongside AI enterprises and research bodies signals that China-ASEAN cooperation is being framed around industrial and financing pipelines, not just governance principles. For RWA and digital-asset markets, that matters because cross-border data and security cooperation is the groundwork any tokenized or AI-mediated asset flow would depend on. Whether the roundtable produces working groups, standards or funding mechanisms — rather than remaining a dialogue — is the open question.
