Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun delivered a speech at the opening of the Xiangshan Forum in which he called for the establishment of binding global rules for the military use of artificial intelligence. His call comes against the backdrop of the intensifying technological race between China and the United States, which includes a struggle over advanced chips, artificial intelligence models, and setting the global rules of the game. Dong urged countries to tighten risk assessment, share experience, and establish global codes of conduct. While China promotes an open-source approach, the Trump administration is pushing for deregulation and rapid infrastructure construction, despite industry concerns. Negotiating teams from both countries are expected to meet this weekend in New York. Meanwhile, at least seven Chinese university laboratories supporting the military have attempted to obtain advanced Nvidia AI chips. Dong pledged to expand technological cooperation with countries in need. The US sent a low-level representative to the forum.
