They like control, the Chinese government.
If anything, maybe they are even more concerned about having control than Western governments, have no incentive of just losing control over where everything is going.

where everybody loses if anybody's AI goes out of control, it really changes the whole dynamic.

Because a lot of people dismiss the whole idea that AI can really get,
very superhuman because they think there's something really magical about intelligence such that it can only exist in human minds.
