- China's top spy chief publicly warned that AI poses a threat to Communist Party rule, according to coverage from Reuters, the New York Times, and The Guardian.
- Beijing simultaneously dismissed AI 'fearmongering,' including calls from AI CEOs for a slowdown in development.
Why it matters: By framing AI as a regime-survival threat while rejecting Western-aligned safety pauses, Beijing signals it will not join the CEO-led slowdown consensus — instead recasting AI risk through a political-control lens that could harden the regulatory split with the US and Europe.
