Moonshot AI, the Beijing-based unicorn behind the wildly popular Kimi chatbot, has formally initiated the process of dismantling its offshore corporate structure.
China’s energy regulators and technology ministries have moved from discussing the AI power challenge to legislating a response.
Shanghai is emerging as the most visible example of how China’s provincial governments are translating national AI strategy into concrete financing and institutional mechanisms.
In a significant development for the global semiconductor supply chain, China has agreed to address United States concerns regarding shortages of critical rare earth minerals, following the high-stakes summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
China’s manufacturing and industrial sectors are aggressively pursuing the integration of artificial intelligence to boost efficiency and maintain global competitiveness. Bolstered by strong state support and ambitious national targets, the focus is rapidly shifting from conversational chatbots to “agentic AI,” systems capable of independently executing complex workflows.
The dominant frame in U.S. policy debates over AI competition has centered on frontier model capability and access to advanced chips. A March 2026 research paper from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission challenges that framing, arguing that the most consequential dynamics are running through a different mechanism entirely.
When U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC on May 14 that the United States and China would establish a protocol for AI best practices and safety, the statement arrived in a context of escalating technology competition, chip controls, export restrictions, and sharp disagreement over Taiwan.
China has officially declared its intention to draft a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) law for the first time, signaling a major shift in how the country will govern its rapidly expanding AI sector.
China’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC) has established a dedicated Low-Altitude Safety Department to oversee the safety and commercial development of the country’s low-altitude airspace, according to announcements by the CAAC and Xinhua.
Moonshot AI, the Beijing-based startup behind the Kimi model family, released Kimi WebBridge on May 14, 2026, a browser extension that gives AI agents the ability to interact with websites the way a human would, clicking buttons, filling out forms, scrolling pages, and extracting data, all while running entirely on the user’s local machine.
In a bold and unprecedented move, OpenAI has publicly called for the creation of a global governance body for artificial intelligence that would include both the United States and China.
On May 14, 2026, Anthropic, a leading US AI research company, published a landmark policy paper titled “2028: Two scenarios for global AI leadership”, which starkly outlines the risks and stakes in the ongoing AI competition between the United States and China.
In a significant move toward international cooperation on artificial intelligence, the United States and China have agreed to launch government-level talks to establish AI safety protocols during the Beijing summit.
As President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping convene in Beijing for their highly anticipated summit, the agenda is dominated by familiar issues: trade tariffs, Taiwan, and semiconductor export controls.
The geopolitical battle over artificial intelligence has entered a new phase, moving beyond hardware export controls to the direct restriction of access to frontier software models. The latest flashpoint centers on Anthropic’s highly anticipated, yet unreleased, “Mythos” model.
The unprecedented regulatory intervention that blocked Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of the AI agent startup Manus has sent shockwaves through the global technology sector. While the initial headlines focused on the geopolitical clash, the practical reality of executing the reversal is proving to be a complex and highly disruptive process.
As artificial intelligence rapidly permeates the Chinese economy, the tension between technological efficiency and labor stability is increasingly ending up in the courtroom. In two landmark decisions, Chinese courts have ruled that companies cannot legally dismiss workers on the grounds that AI tools are cheaper or more productive.
China’s top regulatory bodies have issued a comprehensive set of guidelines aimed at standardizing the development and deployment of artificial intelligence agents across the economy.
As President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping prepare to meet in Beijing, a new analysis highlights a critical and under-discussed risk in the global artificial intelligence race: the behavior of autonomous systems in military and geopolitical crises.
China’s rapid push to embed artificial intelligence into its financial services sector has hit a significant speed bump. The viral popularity of OpenClaw, an open-source, autonomous AI agent, has triggered widespread alarm among regulators and state agencies, forcing Chinese banks into a new, far more cautious phase of AI governance and testing.
