China

China plays a central role in the global development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its security implications. Backed by strong state support, massive data resources, and a rapidly expanding tech sector, China has made AI a strategic priority in its quest for technological leadership and global influence. Its efforts are closely tied to security concerns, as AGI research intersects with military modernization, surveillance capabilities, and geopolitical competition. At the same time, China seeks to shape international governance frameworks around AI, advancing models that reflect its political and security priorities. This dual pursuit of innovation and control positions China as both a driver of AGI progress and a key actor in the global security debates surrounding it.
