[Read the original →](https://chinai.substack.com/p/chinai-375-critiquing-anthropics)

A free ChinAI essay examining arguments about international AI competition.

Ding critiques assumptions behind proposals to slow frontier development while preserving a national lead. The piece is explicitly an author's policy analysis, useful for comparing perspectives rather than treating geopolitical forecasts as settled facts.
