SCMP’s report claimed that while the US has been hesitant to regulate AI, “China’s regulatory process is accelerating significantly” in recent months. In April, Beijing issued a new regulation requiring domestic AI firms to establish internal “artificial intelligence ethics review committees.” In May, the State Council, China’s cabinet, outlined a legislative work plan for 2026 to “improve AI governance and…
