Xi JinpingB

Xi Jinping serves as the President of China, a position from which the organization has actively engaged in international discourse regarding artificial intelligence governance. In this capacity, the Chinese president has publicly called for the establishment of bilateral cooperation frameworks between the United States and China, specifically aiming to create a joint pact focused on the prevention of AI misuse and abuse. Additionally, the administration has navigated high-level diplomatic channels to discuss AI policy, including meeting with U.S. leadership to address the integration of AI into broader national security and trade agendas. The president has consistently advocated for collaborative international governance structures, most notably evidenced by the proposal for a joint US-China AI abuse prevention pact. However, this diplomatic approach exists alongside a more combative stance regarding hardware supply chains; the administration has faced scrutiny for threatening to withhold critical minerals essential for advanced computing and weapons technology in direct response to U.S. chip export restrictions. This creates a pattern where the organization simultaneously seeks cooperative regulatory frameworks while leveraging supply chain dominance as a strategic counterweight to international trade limitations, as observed during recent high-level trade discussions.
