'Groundless accusations': China rejects Trump's election meddling claims

China on Friday said it has never interfered in US elections and has no interest in doing so, urging Washington to stop making what it described as "groundless accusations" after President Donald Trump accused Beijing of meddling in the 2020 election. In an address to the nation Thursday, Trump again raised doubts about the US elections results in 2020 and accused China of interfering in them. "The relevant allegations by the US are entirely fabricated and aimed at vilifying China," said China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. "We have no interest in interfering in US elections and have never done so." In a daily briefing in Beijing, Lin called on the US to stop making groundless accusations against China. Asked whether this might affect the expected visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to the U.S. in September, the spokesperson replied: "As I just said, we urge the US to stop making an issue of China in its elections and do something conducive to China-US relations."

AI should be a global 'symphony', not 'solo performance': Xi Jinping

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday said the development of AI should not be a "solo performance" by one country, but a "symphony of global collaboration." Xi made these remarks while addressing the opening of the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), China's largest annual AI industry event, in Shanghai. "With AI advancing at a staggering speed, we must ensure its development is positive, for the good and for humanity," he said. It must be guided with human wisdom and international consensus, he said. To further support AI development in the next five years, he said China will provide developing countries including members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Arab League, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the African Union, Latin American and the BRICS member countries with 5,000 research projects in AI, as well as training, seminar programmes and "cooperation centres", the Hong Kong based South China Morning Post reported.

China, Xi seen more favourably than US, Trump in many nations: Survey

The world has largely viewed the US more favourably than China for years, but those opinions have flipped in Beijing's favour this year, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center, a remarkable shift driven in part by tensions between the Trump administration and US allies. More people have favourable views of China than the US in 25 out of the 36 countries and territories that were surveyed, including Canada and Mexico. The poll was conducted from February to May, a period when the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran. In only six countries do people still see the US more positively than China, according to the findings released Wednesday. Views in 22 out of the 36 countries and territories also are more favourable of Chinese leader Xi Jinping than US President Donald Trump, including in Canada, Mexico and major European powers including France, Germany and the UK However, people in many of the countries have low confidence in both men. It marks the first t

China appoints two new generals after anti-corruption purge thins ranks

China's military has named two new generals in what may be a precursor to a reorganisation at the top following the removal of several of its leaders in a long-running anti-corruption drive. The shake-up is believed to be in part an effort to ensure the military's loyalty to China's ruling Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping. Xi, who is also head of the military, presented orders promoting Zhang Shuguang and air force commander Wang Gang to generals at a ceremony Friday. Zhang was also named the head of the division investigating corruption at the Central Military Commission, the military's top body. The promotions could put them in line to fill vacancies on the seven-member commission, which has been reduced to two by the corruption investigations. The commission is chaired by Xi. Its only other current member is Vice Chair Zhang Shengmin. Two former vice chairs, including the military's top general, have been removed. A new commission is expected to be announced in the f
