Cambodia, China deepen cooperation framework in Phnom Penh

During the annual China Development Forum in Beijing, Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on United States-China Relations, emphasized the importance of cooperation between China and the United States in artificial intelligence, arguing that avoiding duplication of efforts would benefit both countries. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions, with the U.S. imposing sanctions on China's AI and semiconductor sectors due to military concerns. Concurrently, Chinese Premier Li Qiang urged for dialogue instead of confrontation, highlighting that both nations should prioritize mutual benefit over zero-sum competition. This meeting, which included American business leaders, aimed to improve bilateral relations and address sensitive issues such as trade tariffs and fentanyl transportation. The discussions reflect a broader call from China for constructive engagement with the U.S. to ensure global economic stability. These diplomatic efforts are crucial as both nations navigate complex economic and technological landscapes.
