Brazil's AI adoption creates systemic dependency on US cloud infrastructure providers

China is actively promoting its AI governance and technology models globally, particularly to developing nations and Southeast Asian partners, directly challenging US influence. This push is underscored by President Xi Jinping's personal involvement at the WAIC and the establishment of the WAICO, signaling a strategic effort to counter US technological containment and establish an alternative international AI framework. The extent of formal adoption of China's framework by other nations and the specific mechanisms of the China-Russia AI alignment remain unclear.
