Establishing the Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cooperation Organization will benefit all countries and regions in the world, Yu Xiaohui, president of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said on Saturday at the ongoing 2025 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai.
Yu said China's proposal on building a global AI cooperation organization is of great significance for the inclusive development of the technology.
"We need broader and deeper global cooperation to enable AI to achieve inclusive development and benefit each country and each region in the world. We hope to build a high-level global industry exchange platform and open a new chapter in global collaboration on AI," Yu said.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the conference on Saturday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said the international community should place greater emphasis on the joint governance of AI, calling for the early formation of a global framework and rules that have broad consensus to guide the development and use of AI.
Li said the Chinese government proposes the creation of a global AI cooperation organization.
This is an important proposal China has made to practice multilateralism and promote a style of global governance that features extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefits, analysts said.
The 2025 World AI Conference and High-level Meeting on Global AI Governance runs from July 26 to 28, focusing on the major sectors such as artificial intelligence infrastructure, scientific intelligence, smart devices, AI-empowered new-type industrialization and AI's integration with finance.

A former television host from Taiwan, Zhai Xuan, has made a pivotal decision to leave mainstream broadcasting in order to create content that provides a better understanding of the Chinese mainland and cross-strait relations.
Zhai, a seasoned television host with over a decade of experience in Taiwan's media landscape, recently addressed an audience at an event in Beijing, where she revealed her complete transition into independent online media.
In her remarks, she articulated her aspiration to bridge what she perceives as a significant information gap between audiences on both sides of the Strait, highlighting her commitment to fostering a deeper understanding and connection through her new endeavors.
"I was really surprised by all the fake news. There were stories saying people on the mainland can't afford tea eggs or that they live in mud houses and in Taiwan, this was the main information many people received," said Zhai.
Zhai said she initially began producing online videos to challenge such perceptions while continuing her work as a television host.
In April 2025, she travelled to the mainland with her father to fulfill her late grandfather's wish to return to his hometown. The trip, which reunited family members separated since 1949, was recorded in a video series titled "Journey to Find Our Roots", drawing attention from viewers in both Taiwan and the mainland.
"Many people in Taiwan told me that after watching, they wanted to apply for a mainland travel permit immediately and go looking for their relatives. Some had long forgotten these things, but after seeing my story, they began thinking about their hometowns and family members they had never met and decided to search for their roots," Zhai shared her story at the event.
By mid-2025, Zhai said she began to feel increasing pressure amid rising political tensions and a tightening atmosphere around cross-Strait exchanges in Taiwan.
After more than 12 years in the industry, Zhai resigned from her position, believing it was the right thing to do.
"At that moment, I felt this was a major issue，not just for me, but for Chinese people on both sides of the Strait. If I backed down then, I wouldn’t be standing on the right side," said Zhai.
Since leaving television, Zhai has broadened her online programming to encompass a range of daily-life topics, including practical guidance on applying for a mainland travel permit and using commonly employed mobile applications, in addition to content that delves into historical memory and cultural connections across the Strait.
As the debate over cross-Strait relations continues in Taiwan, Zhai said she remains committed to her current path.
