- China rejected Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's warnings about its AI development, calling the calls for slowdown 'fearmongering' and 'self-serving' in state media, per AP and Bloomberg
- China's top spy chief issued a separate internal warning that artificial intelligence poses a threat to Communist Party rule, per The New York Times
Why it matters: The coverage reveals a split-screen message from Beijing: outwardly dismissing foreign calls to slow China's AI rise as self-interested fearmongering, while a top intelligence official warns internally that the same technology threatens party control. For Anthropic and other Western AI labs, the public pushback signals that concerns about China's AI trajectory will be met with nationalist rhetoric, not policy concessions.
