India, China start discussions on trade concerns; more meetings expected

India and China have started discussions to address bilateral trade concerns, including structural trade imbalances and supply chain issues, with the two sides expected to hold more meetings to take the engagement forward, according to Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal. Agrawal said on Tuesday that the recent meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao was an initial discussion aimed at understanding each other's positions on various trade-related issues.

Beijing hits back at Anthropic CEO's call to curb China's AI development

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday hit back at a call from the head of Anthropic for the US to curb China's artificial intelligence capabilities, which he issued as he argued for a global slowdown on AI development. US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to discuss AI governance, among other topics, at a meeting planned on September 24. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei in a lengthy essay published on Saturday warned that a "Chinese lead in AI would pose grave danger for the United States and the world." He called for continuing restrictions on sales of cutting-edge AI chips and chipmaking equipment to China in order to keep the US' AI edge. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to a question about Amodei's essay by saying that all parties should work together on AI. "Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance which serves no one's interest," spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a .
