Chinese President Xi Jinping used the APEC leaders’ summit to propose a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization and position China as an alternative to the United States on trade cooperation, marking his first public comments on the initiative Beijing unveiled this year. Xi’s push came as President Trump skipped the summit after meeting with Xi, leaving the Chinese leader to champion multilateral cooperation while promoting China’s lower-cost AI models and dominance in green technologies.
Not being there with on-par hierarchical representation in such a setting is a big mistake culturally: it implies that you yield. So how can AI be so important that governments keep on tolerating scammers like Sam Altman, but then influencing the global market is left to China?
I asked Grok to research for me which Cabinet members have experience with Asian/Chinese business culture but all it came up with was Rubio, for sanctioning China over Hong Kong in the past (~lol). Maybe @Cje95 knows better what's going on here.

Good point, skipping the summit really gave China space to lead the discussion. Whether intentional or not, the U.S. absence speaks volumes.

Does it speak volumes though? In any way it puts the US in a position of having to react on something they proclaimed wanting to lead on; remember the Action Plan.
