Editorial | China’s vision for global AI governance is inclusive

South China Morning Post · · International · AI Governance

An editorial in the South China Morning Post argues that China's approach to global AI governance is broadly inclusive, framing Beijing's position as a constructive and participatory force in shaping international AI rules rather than a divisive one.

Why this matters: Who gets to set the rules for AI globally is not an abstract question. It shapes what gets built, who gets watched, and which values get baked into the systems billions of people will use. China and the West are competing to define those standards right now. An editorial from a Hong Kong outlet describing China's vision as 'inclusive' is worth reading carefully — not at face value, but as a signal of how Beijing wants its governance model to be perceived abroad. The framing matters as much as the substance.
