Britain plans to invite Chinese to the Gonggong Intelligence Summit, but Japan runs out against it, threatening that China will influence G7 decision-making!
More recently, the UK plans to hold its first Global AI Security Summit in November. As the world's second largest artificial intelligence country after the United States, China is also among the United Kingdom's invitations. Unexpectedly, Japan ran out against inviting China to the meeting, citing concerns about China's influence on G7 decision-making. Even Japan's so-called alternative is for the G7 countries as a whole and inviting developing countries, including China, to talk. To put it simply, Japan hopes that the G7 as a whole will first reach a consensus on AI rule-making with other countries.
An undisputed fact is that artificial intelligence has become a new outlet in the world, and countries around the world are striving to develop their own artificial intelligence technology. The reason why the UK is hosting the first Global AI Security Summit is to occupy the high ground of AI regulatory rule-making. Who can master the rules of AI regulation, which country will inevitably have an advantage in the field of AI. The British played wishful thinking, how could Japan spoil the situation? In fact, the Japanese have not yet recognized the reality that the power gap between China and Japan is getting bigger and bigger, and many international affairs can be done without Japan's participation, but absolutely not without China's participation.
Taking the first Global AI Security Summit as an example, if China is not able to participate, even if the UK has so-called AI regulatory rules, may it be implemented? Japan is the only Asian and non-white country among the G7 countries, and attaches great importance to its voice in the G7. Even Japan's emphasis on the G7 has surpassed that of the United Nations. However, Japan is an Asia-Pacific country culturally, historically, and geographically, and it is not valued as a white G7 country. Therefore, Japan should recognize the reality that the dividends of leaving Asia and joining Europe are gone, and then recognize China's dominant position in the Asia-Pacific region and develop itself steadily.
