US-China Establish AI & Military Communication Channels, Extend Trade Truce
The US and China have formally established dedicated communication channels for military incidents and AI risks, including 'super-intelligence' dialogue, following a state visit and summit. This marks a significant de-escalation in strategic competition, though details on scope and enforcement remain largely unclear. Concurrently, a trade truce has been extended, and mutual tariff reductions on select goods have been agreed upon, indicating a shift towards managed competition.
