China open-sources unguarded frontier AI.

China's export-heavy imbalance is unsustainable
Bessent says non-market economies pushing out a never-ending stream of cheap exports is unsustainable; China, with the world's largest unsustainable current-account surplus, was the G20 holdout, and 19 countries are aligned to address these imbalances, with possible actions in days, weeks or months.

China's state-backed AI strategy gains advantage.
China is pursuing a multi-year state-backed AI strategy: Chinese labs distill or copy Western models, flood the market with cheap open-weight intelligence, and use subsidized inference and data collection to compress Western frontier-lab pricing power. This puts China in an advantageous position to catch or surpass US AI leaders.

China is poaching scientists and rising.

Rotate to lagging EM Asia, China, India.
