Bloomberg: Beijing's policy signal says American AI companies must face the rules Washington proposes abroad.

Anthropic has become China's test case for challenging U.S.-defined frontier AI safety rules. China wants dangerous capabilities jointly defined and controlled, while ordinary Chinese AI competition should remain outside those restrictions.

The Anthropic criticism came through a CCTV-affiliated account rather than a formal Chinese government announcement. i.e. its a strong policy signal rather than an announced negotiating position.
