Jinping: Challenging Conditions Need to Be Aware
Xi Jinping underlined the need to be aware of the complex and challenging conditions facing national security.
According to the news of Xinhua, Xi said that China needs a new development model with a new security architecture. China is currently dedicating substantial resources to suppressing perceived political threats to the party’s dominance. Spending on police and security personnel exceeds spending on the military.
China is putting pressure on the tech industry to re-establish party control and, like other countries, is trying to find ways to regulate emerging technology.
Concerns about AI systems getting people down and out of control have been compounded by the rise of next-generation AI chatbots like ChatGPT.
