US-China trade expansion and Boeing purchase discussions

On the 14th, US Treasury Secretary Besant stated in an interview with CNBC that China is expected to purchase a large number of Boeing aircraft. The US administration has consistently called for China to increase its purchases of American products. In the new 'US-China Trade Committee' framework, both sides plan to identify items for approximately $30 billion in purchases to promote trade.

Discussions on AI safety standards and cooperation

Secretary Besant further indicated that the US would initiate Artificial Intelligence (AI) dialogues with China. Amid growing concerns over cyberattacks following the emergence of Anthropic's powerful AI 'Claude Mythos,' he stated, "We are seeking to advance discussions on the direction of safety standards." He also mentioned plans to develop a framework to prevent the misuse of AI models by non-state actors.
