Vice Minister of Commerce Jiang Chenghua told a State Council Information Office press conference that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period China will keep supporting the WTO-centered trading system, deepen bilateral and multilateral economic cooperation, and "actively lead" rule-making in emerging areas such as digital and green development. According to Securities Times, as carried by 36Kr, he said China will work to build an open AI ecosystem and, together with other countries, jointly construct international AI economic and trade rules. Jiang also said the digital divide, development deficits and the over-securitization of issues have become worldwide problems.
