As China prepares for this year’s Two Sessions – its annual political meetings – CGTN’s Ask China campaign is turning up the volume on global curiosity about artificial intelligence. The interactive series, which crowdsources questions via social media, recently featured a Moroccan student asking how Beijing plans to ‘balance rapid AI development with ethical safeguards’.

With over 1.3 billion people and some of the world’s fastest-growing tech firms, China’s approach to AI governance could reshape global standards. The campaign comes as lawmakers draft new policies expected to debut during the March meetings.
🌍 Why This Matters Globally
