In a direct counterpoint to the near-unanimous call from America's frontier AI labs to moderate development pace, China has signaled it is accelerating its AI efforts. After Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged companies to slow down, China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement rejecting what it called 'fear mongering, confrontation, and vicious competition,' arguing such tactics disrupt global AI governance. The Ministry asserted that AI development 'bears on the common well-being of all humanity.' The post's author, who reports having spoken with Chinese model providers, states that China is 'accelerating full steam ahead' in AI development, suggesting a widening divergence between US and Chinese approaches to frontier AI governance.

China Rejects Calls to Slow AI Development, Accelerates Instead
Amid a near-unanimous call from America’s frontier labs to slow down and "pace" the development of artificial intelligence, China is taking the opposite stance.
After Dario Amodei urged companies to moderate the pace of frontier AI development, China’s Foreign Ministry pushed back:
"Fear mongering, confrontation, and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance and serve no one’s interests."
"The development of artificial intelligence bears on the common well-being of all humanity."
Having spoken with Chinese model providers myself, it appears they are accelerating full steam ahead.
