“The World Does Not Want To See An AI Iron Curtain:” China Signals AI Cooperation With US To Prevent a New Technological Cold War

People’s Daily said AI could be a cooperation area between China and the U.S., and rejected the idea of an “AI Iron Curtain.”

The commentary came after Trump and Xi backed government-level AI talks, launching a new bilateral dialogue mechanism.

Beijing also criticized U.S. tech containment measures, including export controls and semiconductor restrictions.

The U.S. has focused on AI safety and competitive edge, but both sides are now discussing governance and best practices.
