Greater dialogue as AI, outer space rivalries grow; bigger security role by major powers: China's defence chief
Dong Jun was speaking on Wednesday (Sep 16) at the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing which was attended by delegates from nearly 100 countries and regions, including Singapore Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing and North Korea’s Vice Defence Minister Kim Kang-il.
Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun called for greater security dialogue and rule-making in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and outer space during the Xiangshan Forum in Beijing on September 16. The forum, attended by delegates from nearly 100 countries and regions, aimed to build consensus on stability and advance security governance together.
Dong emphasized the importance of risk assessment, experience-sharing, and rule-making to ensure emerging technologies benefited all of humanity. He urged major powers to take the lead in global security governance and stressed the need for dialogue, partnership, and win-win cooperation rather than confrontation or zero-sum competition.
Dong's remarks came a week before an expected meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump, as tensions persist over trade, technology, and security issues.
