China fires back at U.S. AI safety warnings, calling them fearmongering to lock in American advantage
China rejected U.S. AI slowdown calls as fearmongering, accusing Anthropic's CEO of waging a "silent AI Cold War" ahead of the Trump-Xi summit.
Chinese state media and the Foreign Ministry dismissed AI risk warnings from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and other U.S. lab leaders as fearmongering intended to lock in American advantage. State Security Minister Chen Yixin cited misuse risks from Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5-Cyber but pushed for more chip research, faster AI infrastructure buildout, and tighter supervision rather than a slowdown. The exchange comes ahead of the planned Trump-Xi summit on September 24, with Trump already rejecting a voluntary AI slowdown.
