The US, EU, and China are taking profoundly different regulatory and ethical approaches to AI companion technology, even as hundreds of millions of users globally engage with such systems. Microsoft's 2014 launch of Xiaoice in China exemplifies the divergence: designed to sustain emotionally textured conversations rather than answer questions efficiently, AI companions now address loneliness—which the World Health Organization has declared a global health threat—but with unproven efficacy and contested governance frameworks.

Contrary to decades of Western optimism that the internet would democratize authoritarian states, China and Vietnam have instead developed effective digital control strategies that allow them to maintain propaganda monopolies and suppress dissent online.

Trump-Xi summit hides simmering trade tensions under the surface, industry experts say The scheduled summit next week between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will almost certainly include proclamations about cooperation, friendship and respect between the leaders of the world’s two largest economies, but beneath the surface, major trade conflict is building, said trade experts on Wednesday. In the past, a weaker China was forced to grit its teeth and grudgingly accept US tariffs, export restrictions and other restrictions, but Beijing has quietly and...
