- Dong Jun, China's defence minister, opened the Xiangshan security forum by calling on nations to end "provocative acts," per Reuters.
- Dong Jun also urged nations to step up oversight of military AI applications, per Bloomberg, and notably omitted Taiwan from his remarks in a milder address, per SCMP.
Why it matters: The omission of Taiwan in Dong Jun's remarks marks a departure from Beijing's recent sharp-edged rhetoric on the issue, while the AI oversight push stakes China's claim in governing emerging military technology rather than letting Western frameworks set the rules.
