The Chinese defence minister, Dong Jun, delivered a milder address at the Xiangshan Forum, urging nations to curb regressive historical trends and step up AI oversight. He warned against coercive actions, calling for an end to provocative acts, while deliberately avoiding any reference to the United States, Japan or Taiwan.
The call targets regional and global security actors as AI technologies increasingly intersect with defence. Al Jazeera noted the omission of US and Japan, Bloomberg highlighted the AI oversight demand, South China Morning Post reported the Taiwan silence, and Reuters repeated the appeal to end provocative acts.
Observers will watch subsequent forum sessions for concrete policy proposals and reactions from other defence ministries.
