Against the backdrop of China-U.S. competition in AI, China-ASEAN cooperation can offer regional countries more practical help in navigating the competitive landscape with greater confidence.

Europe has not turned away from NATO; rather, it is using NATO as a foundation on which to weave an increasingly dense network of “minilateral” security arrangements. This network is both a product of the war in Ukraine and the reallocation of transatlantic responsibilities, and a continuation of Europe's longstanding tradition of security cooperation.

The recent Xi-Trump summit produced a modest but telling outcome on artificial intelligence. An agreement was arrived at to establish a bilateral communication channel for AI-related incidents, with further dialogue scheduled.

As voices questioning artificial intelligence grow louder in the United States, the deeper concerns behind them touch political nerves. AI could well become a new dividing line in the American political spectrum, much like gun control and abortion.

South-South cooperation provides avenues for countries to extract greater dividends from existing capabilities by pooling resources, sharing implementation lessons and building more context-appropriate AI systems.

The agreement highlights a broader challenge for bilateral relations: how to address security concerns while preserving space for economic engagement. Its credibility will depend on clear limits to investment restrictions, workable alternatives for development and meaningful Greenlandic participation.

Outer space belongs to all humanity. No nation should seek to monopolize space resources or dominate humanity’s space future. Only by rejecting hegemony and prioritizing the peaceful utilization of outer space can global space undertakings deliver shared benefits and drive the progress of human civilization.

When President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping meet in Washington this week, AI governance is expected to be at the top of the agenda. The United States and China have been racing to develop increasingly powerful AI systems, and neither has shown much appetite for slowing down. But not even the winner of the AI race will be exempt from the profound risks the technology poses.

The challenges posed by the development of artificial intelligence are no longer hypothetical. They are already a reality. Viewing AI solely through the lens of competition could cause China and the United States to miss opportunities to coordinate and address shared risks.

In the past few weeks, the global AI race has entered a new, existential stage. What makes this fluid status quo particularly perilous is the effort to exploit AI for global supremacy.
