On the 14th, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked that the US Department of Commerce has issued new export control measures related to artificial intelligence. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Guo Jiakun said that a Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson has already responded to this. I would like to emphasize that the US side generalizes the concept of national security, politicizes and weaponizes economic and trade science and technology issues, maliciously suppresses China, seriously undermines market rules and the international economic and trade order, seriously affects the stability of the global production supply chain, and seriously harms the interests of the business communities of China, the US and other countries. China resolutely opposes this and will take firm measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. Guo Jiakun said that artificial intelligence is the common asset of mankind and cannot become a game for rich countries and the rich, creating a new development gap. In order to maintain its hegemony, the US side has also begun to engage in 369 and the like in the field of artificial intelligence. Its fundamental purpose is to deprive the vast majority of developing countries, including China, of their right to advance scientific and technological progress and promote development. This “stumbling block strategy” runs counter to the common interests of all countries in promoting the positive development of artificial intelligence, and has raised concerns in various circles about America starting a “new cold war on science and technology.” Many US technology companies and industry associations have clearly opposed the relevant measures of the Biden administration. He said that China is an active proponent and practitioner of global governance of artificial intelligence. We proposed the “Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative”, pushed the United Nations General Assembly to agree to pass a resolution on artificial intelligence capacity building, and established the Friends Group for International Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence Capacity Building. China will continue to work with all parties to insist on openness without building walls, mutual communication without decoupling, equality without discrimination, and to create an open, inclusive, and non-discriminatory artificial intelligence development environment, so that the dividends of artificial intelligence can benefit all countries.
