The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance kicked off in Shanghai, China, on 17 July. At the opening ceremony, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for AI to become a driving force for shared prosperity and security, urging the international community to co-create a fair and equitable global AI governance framework.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yonghong is joined by Dr. Gu Qingyang, Associate Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore and Tim Zhang, Founder & CEO of Edge Research Consulting, to dissect the latest technological milestones showcased by Chinese tech giants at WAIC and debate whether Beijing's newly launched World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation (WAICO) is designed to rival the US-led 'Silicon Peace' initiative, and whether an 'AI Iron Curtain' is indeed quietly descending upon the world.
