China rebukes Anthropic CEO's call for AI restrictions
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday pushed back against a call by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for the United States to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities, describing the proposal as a "Cold War" tactic.
Speaking to CBS News on Sunday, Amodei acknowledged that one of the most difficult questions surrounding his proposal would arise if China and other countries considered adversaries by the United States chose not to slow their own AI development. He also said the "toughest dilemma" was if China and other adversarial nations chose not to do the same.
A call between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping is expected on September 24, with AI governance on the agenda. Xi has previously called for setting up a global AI governance framework among Global South nations, while Trump has indicated he expected the two leaders to discuss AI.

Framing: Beijing's official response to Anthropic CEO's call, framing it as a direct confrontation
Facts Included:
China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday hit back at a call from the head of Anthropic for the U.S. to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities.
President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to discuss AI governance at a meeting planned on Sept. 24.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a 'Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world.'
He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China.
Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said: 'Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance which serves no one’s interest.'
On Sunday, President Donald Trump downplayed calls for his administration to step in to slow down AI development, saying that the U.S. was leading China on AI and that 'whoever wins AI, wins.'
Amodei said that 'global pacing will require cooperation with China, the autocratic country with by far the most advanced AI capabilities.'
China’s Xi has called for setting up a global AI governance framework among Global South, while pitching China as a pioneer in establishing an open-source AI community.
The head of China’s Ministry of State Security called for 'accelerating the establishment of a system for preventing and managing AI security risks' in a recent article.
China’s state-run Global Times newspaper dismissed Amodei’s essay as a veiled call to 'contain' China.
The Global Times said Amodei’s essay is 'packed with containment provisions targeting China and is, in essence, a ‘Cold War playbook’ for the AI sector.'
China’s Commerce Ministry dismissed the U.S. claims as groundless and said 'distillation' has been commonly used by many AI companies.
China’s Commerce Ministry said the U.S. was pursuing a 'monopoly of the AI industry.'

The head of China's Ministry of State Security has called for 'accelerating the establishment of a system for preventing and managing AI security risks' in a recent article.
In an editorial published Sunday, China's state-run Global Times newspaper dismissed Amodei's essay as a veiled call to 'contain' China.
Global Times said Amodei's essay may appear focused on global AI security but is 'packed with containment provisions targeting China and is, in essence, a 'Cold War playbook' for the AI sector.'

Lizzi C. Lee, a fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Centre for China Analysis, said both China and the US want 'to make sure the other side cannot establish a tech chokepoint over them.'
Lee also said: 'So from Beijing's perspective, there is an obvious question: if the US wants China to cooperate on frontier safety while also restricting its access to frontier compute, what exactly does that cooperation look like?'
Framing: Highlights China's state newspaper criticizing Anthropic's AI slowdown calls as a 'Cold War' tactic, framing the issue as a geopolitical conflict. — Measured and detached, presenting the Chinese criticism and U.S. responses without overt editorial judgment.
Facts Included:
An essay by Anthropic's CEO calling for slowing down AI development was published on Saturday and endorsed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk.
Dario Amodei outlined a framework to pace the development of frontier AI model capabilities and create more time to manage mounting safety risks.
Amodei urged the U.S. to strengthen chip export controls on China and crack down on alleged model distillation by Chinese AI labs.
He told CBS News on Sunday that the 'toughest dilemma' over his proposal was if China and other adversarial nations chose not to do the same.
The Global Times said Amodei's essay's true agenda was 'to attempt to curb China's AI development through technological barriers and regulatory monopolies, uphold Washington's monopolistic hegemony in cutting-edge technology, and exclude China from the global AI governance system.'
The Global Times said, 'This silent AI Cold War is hypocritical and short-sighted,' and that excluding China would 'significantly increase the trial-and-error costs and risks of loss of control in global AI development.'
U.S. lawmakers have urged new rules to govern AI systems after warnings from two Anthropic researchers that rapidly progressing AI could lead to extinction of the human race.
Trump brushed aside calls to slow AI, saying 'very negative forces' were raising exaggerated concerns.
Trump said, 'We're leading China in AI. We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins.'
The U.S. and China are planning to discuss frontier AI safety risks in mid-September, and the issue could be raised during a summit between Trump and Xi Jinping on September 24.

Framing: Headline emphasizes the Chinese state-backed Global Times's criticism of Anthropic's AI slowdown calls as a 'Cold War' tactic.
Facts Included:
An essay by Anthropic's CEO calling for a slowing down of AI development was published on Sept 12 and later endorsed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk.
Dario Amodei outlined a framework to pace the development of frontier AI model capabilities and create more time to manage mounting safety risks.
Amodei urged the US to strengthen chip export controls on China and crack down on alleged model distillation by Chinese AI labs.
Amodei told CBS News on Sept 13 that the 'toughest dilemma' over his proposal was if China and other adversarial nations chose not to do the same.
The Global Times said Amodei's essay aimed 'to attempt to curb China's AI development through technological barriers and regulatory monopolies, uphold Washington's monopolistic hegemony in cutting-edge technology, and exclude China from the global AI governance system'.
The Global Times called the situation a 'silent AI Cold War' that is 'hypocritical and short-sighted'.
US lawmakers have urged new rules to govern AI systems after warnings from two Anthropic researchers about extinction risks.
Trump brushed aside calls to slow AI on Sept 14, saying 'very negative forces' were raising exaggerated concerns.
Trump said 'We're leading China in AI. We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins.'
The US and China are planning to discuss frontier AI safety risks in mid-September, and the issue could be raised during a summit between Presidents Trump and Xi on Sept 24.
