At the G20 Summit in Rio last winter Xi Jinping made clear his views on artificial intelligence: its not just for rich countries. The Chinese leader spoke about AI development needing wider international input and control (a view that got support from other nations attending the summit)
China showed its commitment to helping less-wealthy countries by starting a tech-sharing plan. Xi joined with three other G20 members to help the Global South get better tech access; this move fits with Chinas wider push to support developing economies
During talks about fixing world trade rules Xi pointed out problems with green-focused trade limits: “We need to improve global trade governance and build a world economy characterized by openness“ [[stated by Xi Jinping]]. He was talking about new rules that affect Chinese e-vehicles and bio-fuels - products that some G20 countries worry might make them too dependent on China
The Rio summit was part of Xiʼs bigger South America trip which included a stop at the Asia-Pacific meeting in Peru where he shared similar ideas about open trade. His message stayed clear throughout: international tech and trade should work for everyone not just wealthy nations
