“I \u200bdon’t mind guardrails,” he said in a CBS interview released Sunday<\/a>, adding that \u2060he did not want regulations to put the U.S. in “a deep second position” behind China, \u200bwhich he \u200bsaid \u2060had no such restrictions. <\/p>\n China’s foreign ministry in September<\/a> dismissed calls to slow down frontier models, saying that fearmongering and confrontation would only disrupt global AI governance. Huiyao Wang, founder of Center for China and Globalization, a think tank that closely aligns with Beijing’s thinking, said last month that the U.S.-China talks should “confront AI risks and manage them together.” <\/p>\n During Xi’s September visit, Washington and Beijing agreed to launch an AI dialogue<\/a> with a communications channel to help defuse serious incidents. The two leaders are expected to meet for the third time next week, with Bessent joining, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Meeting from Nov. 18 to 19. <\/p>\n As the technology advances, the two nations will need to demonstrate how they can “reconcile the demands of competition with the responsibilities of leadership,” Bessent said in his Tuesday speech. “Our interests will not always coincide, and our approach to every challenge likewise will not always converge,” he added. <\/p>\n Washington had briefly suspended access<\/a> by foreign nationals to Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable 5 models in June before restoring it weeks later<\/a>. The U.S. government has also restricted exports of the most advanced chips to Beijing, and accused Chinese developers of copying American models through what it calls industrial-scale distillation. <\/p>\n Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the U.S., told the audience at the gala that efforts by both countries were “indispensable” to addressing issues from global flashpoints to “improving artificial intelligence governance.” Cooperation “may not resolve every challenge,” he said, but “none can be resolved without it.” <\/p>\n The event was organized at a time when controversy around Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang’s<\/a> affair with an alleged Chinese spy has been making headlines. <\/p>\n The billionaire tech executive, who joined Trump’s delegation to Beijing in May and was invited to the state dinner in Washington in September, is at the center of a major corporate and national security scandal after admitting to an extramarital affair<\/a> with a Chinese businesswoman whom the U.S. intelligence officials suspect of espionage. <\/p>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/108414319-1792072406505-108414319-1792072326279-gettyimages-2297774940-kbd15015_cmzhzqga.jpg\")
