  • CNBC：China citizens are proud the country can compete with the US on AI, venture fund manager says
    CNBC reports, "A fundamental difference in the mindset of Chinese citizens, compared to people in other major economies, means that artificial intelligence (AI) could see significant success in the Asian powerhouse, Edith Yeung, head of 500 Startups' China unit, told CNBC Tuesday. Speaking to CNBC's Eunice Yoon, Yeung described how technology consumers were starting to want more protection for their data from large-scale platforms, namechecking the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — which came into force earlier this year."...But in China, Yeung described a different view on data protection."Chinese people are aware of it (data protection) but in general if you talk to most of the normal people they understand there could be big platforms that have access to their data but they're OK with it because of the national pride of wanting to help to be the number one in AI for the whole of China. That mindset is even greater then 'hey I just want to protect my data'," she said at East Tech West in the Nansha district of Guangzhou, China.

    Bloomberg reports, "A group of Google employees has signed a public letter calling on the company to abandon its plans for a Chinese search product that censors results.

The document also called on management to commit to transparency, be accountable and provide clear communication."
  • The Atlantic：China's Mass Detention of Muslims Is a Test for Trump
    The Atlantic reports, "U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the G20 summit this week. After months of stalled negotiations on the trade war, the two countries are reaching a key point, with the prospect looming of Washington raising tariffs on Beijing. If the two countries do make any progress on trade, however, some experts worry that the Trump administration may soften its criticism of Beijing on a different issue: human rights."
