Original post

Beijing confirms China-US intergovernmental dialogue on AI guardrails. “Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun held a regular press conference May 19. A reporter asked, 'It is reported that the leaders of China and the United States exchanged views on the regulation of AI during their meeting and agreed to conduct dialogue and cooperation. What is China's comment on this?' Guo stated that as two major AI powers, China and the US should work together to promote the development and governance of AI, and to help AI better serve the progress of human civilization and the common well-being of the international community. During President Trump's visit to China, the two leaders had constructive exchanges on AI issues and agreed to conduct intergovernmental dialogue on AI."

Yeah good pushback from @teortaxesTex that this isn't much evidence:

@NathanpmYoung I mean, there's lots of deranged hawks but anyone who's been observing China for any length of time knows they very rarely reject *negotiations*. They've got lots of staff and can waste a lot of time in talks. People mainly doubt they'll be good faith dealmakers
