China presents new artificial intelligence advances while urging a global framework for AI governance, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. In remarks during the event, Chinese President Xi Jinping calls for “open source” and “inclusive AI,” linking Beijing’s approach to how AI should be developed and governed internationally. Xi also criticizes what he describes as an “overextension of the concept of national security,” arguing that the broad use of national-security reasoning can affect how AI technologies are handled and shared. While he does not name the United States directly, the statements are presented as a response to concerns about how AI developments are regulated and influenced by security policy. At the conference, China also showcases its progress in narrowing the AI gap with the United States, positioning its domestic ecosystem and research direction as evidence of momentum. Overall, the coverage portrays China using the summit both to demonstrate capability and to advocate for a governance model emphasizing openness and inclusivity, alongside a critique of security-driven constraints on technology.
