Sept 7, 2026, Beijing — Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin attended the opening
of the fourth AI capacity-building seminar at Peking University and said
capacity building should not be a one-way transfer; it must help developing
countries acquire foundational capabilities for autonomous development and drive
AI into real-world applications that deliver sustained value. He described
capacity building as a systemic task requiring pragmatic, locally tailored
approaches and simultaneous upgrades to national governance capabilities to
ensure healthy, orderly AI development.
