Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng: Artificial intelligence cannot grow wildly or engage in land grabs.

On June 17, 2026, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng delivered a speech at the annual celebration dinner of the China General Chamber of Commerce USA, encouraging American business community to become leaders in the new field of China-US science and technology cooperation. Xie Feng said that emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence are profoundly changing the economic structure, human life, and social governance, and it is necessary to ensure that they are used for good and inclusive purposes, with orderly development. We cannot allow uncontrolled growth, nor the establishment of barriers, and certainly not the outbreak of an "AI version of Star Wars". As the leading artificial intelligence powers in the world, China and the United States can complement each other's strengths and achieve mutual benefits through cooperation. We need to make good use of the government-to-government dialogue mechanism on artificial intelligence. The business community, as the "main force" of artificial intelligence innovation, should play a constructive role, breaking through technological, market, and industrial barriers, unleashing the innovative power of two-way cooperation, and making artificial intelligence a new realm of China-US cooperation and a new ladder for human innovation and development.
