Trump in China: Can America keep up in the AI Cold War and what will be discussed in tech?
Summary
US President Donald Trump is travelling to Beijing with major tech CEOs including Tim Cook, Elon Musk and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, signaling technology will be a prominent agenda item alongside geopolitics. Talks are expected to touch on AI-enabled warfare, cybersecurity risks from frontier models, and the strained semiconductor relationship, although a breakthrough chip deal looks unlikely. The piece highlights concerns about AI models exposing national infrastructure vulnerabilities (citing Anthropic’s Mythos) and how Silicon Valley influence may shape US policy. It also outlines China’s industrial push in AI, chips and robotics, plus mutual dependencies like rare earth minerals that complicate the rivalry.
