The Global Times accused Amodei of seeking to establish a corporate monopoly, maintain American tech dominance through regulatory barriers, and exclude China from international governance frameworks. Despite Beijing's resistance, state security officials in China have also expressed concerns over the potential misuse of automated systems to target national infrastructure, political stability, and ideological security.",

Encouraging international collaboration, Chinese authorities stress the importance of keeping AI development accessible and advantageous for everyone. State-run media assert that American leaders are leveraging safety issues to…",
