ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
CHINADOMINANT ANGLE
Technological sovereignty and proposal for an alternative model of global governance
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •China proposed creation of WAICO to shape global AI governance
- •Cybersecurity law amendment incorporates AI provisions since January 2026
- •September 2025 National AI Governance Framework articulates exportable principles
- •Paradoxical US-China convergence on rejection of European regulatory model
- •Absolute priority on data control and algorithmic sovereignty
BIASES
CCP-orchestrated narrative: Chinese innovation presented as harmonious against Western chaosCentury of humiliation transposed to digital realm: all foreign standards framed as technological neocolonialismComplete omission of mass surveillance systems and social credit mechanisms from AI governance debate
UNITED STATESDOMINANT ANGLE
Bipartisan battle over federal preemption of state AI laws
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Framework proposes regulatory sandboxes and rejects any new dedicated federal agency
- •Federal preemption of state AI laws with three targeted exceptions (law enforcement, data centre zoning, state use)
- •Child online safety shifted to parental responsibility rather than platform accountability
- •Seven strategic domains covered, from university strengthening to digital replicas
- •Sharp divide between liberal media (capitulation to Big Tech) and conservative outlets (pro-innovation victory)
BIASES
Structural insularity: international dimension almost entirely absent from coverageSystematic bipartisan framing that obscures substantive issues regarding technology governanceAmerican exceptionalism: US framework treated as the only relevant model, foreign approaches dismissed as aberrations
