Why China’s top AI pioneers are expected to miss this week’s Xi-Trump summit
Beijing has not officially announced details of the delegation, but the leaders of DeepSeek and Moonshot AI are absent from the reported list.

China knows the US needs a break – but not China, so Xi does not want to bring its AI team. It is quite, quite clear to me.

Views for @scmpnews.bsky.social: The potential absence of Chinese AI players is linked to differences in their respective domestic environments. Washington was facing growing domestic opposition and political pressure over the rapid development of the technology.

Views for @scmpnews.bsky.social: The move is a political signal more than a technical one. It dents the ‘anti-dollar coalition’ story without stopping mBridge among mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, UAE and Macau.
In Focus | The US-China tech war has evolved since Xi and Trump last met. Who has the edge?
The two sides have found new sources of leverage across AI, chips, rare earths and wider technology supply chains since the US leader’s May visit to Beijing.

Thoughts for @scmpnews.bsky.social: "While the #US still holds the leading-edge chip advantage, it is now treating it as a bargainable asset rather than a hard wall."
