How much do we know & don't know China? What do we need to know?

China is in many arguments & discussion of AI: AI race, AI safety, competition, and coordination, etc. Dario's open letter again mentioned China and proposed international coordination.

If we really want safety guardrails and coordination to happen, and if we want to forecast China's behavior well, what do we really need to know about China to make it work?

If your work includes China, let's come discuss:

• But how much do we know about China? How much do we not know about China?
• What are your biggest uncertainties about China? What are your biggest certainties about China?
• What are your sources of information?

Even if you're confident in your judgement, this discussion could prompt you to think more vertically and multi-dimensionally about China.
