US, China agree on AI dialogue ahead of Xi's state visit
–
Neutral summary
The US and China have agreed to establish an official AI dialogue, including a proposed mechanism for notifying each other about incidents that could threaten national security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the agreement after talks with Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng in New York on Sunday, September 20. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer also participated in the meeting. Bessent called the talks successful, saying they covered trade relations and AI security. According to CNBC, the two countries agreed to set up a direct line for communicating about AI-related security incidents and to hold another meeting on the topic in Shenzhen in about two months. China confirmed that President Xi Jinping will make a state visit to the US from September 23 to 25 at the invitation of President Donald Trump. The leaders' meeting is expected to focus on extending the trade truce, which is set to expire in November 2026. Earlier, on September 20, China elevated Li Chenggang to the position of its top international trade negotiator, a move analysts suggest may signal a broader role in trade talks. The New York Times notes that despite warm meetings between leaders, the countries continue to engage in tit-for-tat measures that call into question the stability of their arrangement.
