Xi said AI governance should be global and China will provide 5,000 training opportunities to developing countries.

  • Ahead of the conference, 29 countries including Pakistan, Russia, and Kazakhstan signed an agreement with China to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, headquartered in Shanghai to promote global governance.
  • Promising access to meteorological tools and 5,000 training opportunities over five years, Xi reinforced China's partnership with Global South nations while Huawei unveiled its Atlas 950 SuperPoD computing system.
  • United States politicians and Anthropic have accused Chinese AI models of illicit "distillation," claims China calls "groundless," while Xi stated "China will not let America be the monopoly of AI technology."
  • China's five-year plan until 2030 prioritizes scientific frontiers, with analysts noting open-source models like DeepSeek now compete with and are often more affordable than closed-source United States alternatives.
