The remark came as officials prepare for a high‑profile meeting between President Xi and U.S. South China Morning Post and Al Jazeera reported that the minister avoided direct mentions of the United States and Japan while warning against coercion. Reuters and Yahoo highlighted growing concerns about AI‑driven military risks raised at the conference.

CGTN described the Xiangshan Forum as enriching global security governance, and CNA noted the push for dialogue on artificial intelligence, space and deep‑sea domains ahead of the anticipated Trump‑Xi summit. Analysts expect the forthcoming Xi visit to Washington to include concrete steps that could soften military tensions, as suggested by the SCMP’s note on potential US‑China measures. The forum’s call for AI and deep‑sea dialogue sets a framework for bilateral talks ahead of the Trump‑Xi summit.

Monitoring statements from both capitals will reveal whether the urged end to provocative acts translates into policy adjustments before the summit convenes later this year.
