Camp confrontation is not welcome in today's world and is not conducive to global prosperity, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman on Friday, in commenting on the U.S. leader's statement on whether Latin American countries should choose sides between the U.S. and China or not.
"We noticed the relevant reports. Latin American and Caribbean countries are independent sovereign countries. Other countries are in no position to tell them what to do, still less publicly or privately coerce and intimidate them. China has always adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, openness and inclusiveness, and all-win cooperation in carrying out friendly cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean countries, effectively enhancing the well-being of the people of both sides," said Guo Jiakun, the spokesman, at a press conference in Beijing.
"The approach of engaging in camp confrontation goes against the historical trend and the general trend of development, and is therefore doomed to fail. We would like to advise the U.S. side that instead of spending time pressuring Latin American countries to take sides, it should do more practical things conducive to regional stability and development," he said.
Camp confrontation runs counter to historical, global development trend: spokesman
China aims to achieve secure and reliable supply of key core artificial intelligence (AI) technologies by 2027, with its industrial scale and empowerment level remaining among the world's forefront, according to a recent government action plan.
The plan, jointly issued by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission, outlines an ambitious push to deeply integrate AI with the manufacturing sector, foster new quality productive forces and comprehensively empower new industrialization. By 2027, the plan targets the deep application of three to five general-purpose large AI models in manufacturing, the development of specialized, full-coverage industry-specific large models, the creation of 100 high-quality industrial datasets, and the promotion of 500 typical application scenarios.
It also aims to cultivate two to three globally influential ecosystem-leading enterprises, a batch of specialized and sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprises, and a group of enabling service providers proficient in both AI technology and industry know-how.
Furthermore, China plans to build a world-leading open-source ecosystem, enhance security governance capabilities, and contribute Chinese solutions to global AI development.
The document outlines measures including promoting the coordinated development of AI chips' hardware and software, supporting innovations in model training and inference methods, fostering key industry-specific large models, and deeply embedding large model technology into core production processes.
The plan also emphasizes making breakthroughs in key technologies such as security protection for industrial model algorithms and training data protection.
