AI safety limits for China and the role of credible assurances

A user quotes Astra's argument that China must believe accepting verifiable AI safety limits would still leave it secure, with meaningful access to AI's economic benefits, a genuine voice in global AI governance and eventually an acceptable level of advanced capability. The user argues that Dario's posture makes such an offer non-credible. In a follow-up reply, the user presents Astra's view that treaties must offer an exit and that “qualitative” parity is basically non-negotiable.
