China is a major global power with a rapidly developing artificial intelligence sector, viewing AI as strategic for national and economic security and pursuing self-reliance in AI technology.
Countries pushing for AI alignment are those that advocate for aligning AI systems with human values and safety standards, often as a means to manage the risks associated with advanced AI and to compete with China in the AI race.
China and these countries have conflicting interests because China opposes being forced to take sides or adopt specific AI alignment standards, rejecting bloc confrontation and zero-sum mindsets.
Meanwhile, proponents of AI alignment argue that alignment is key to making AI safe and improving capabilities, and some see it as a way to counter China's AI development.
This creates a dispute over whether AI development should be guided by international alignment norms or by national strategic autonomy.

Supporters of China argue that AI development is rooted in diverse cultural paths, and external pressure for alignment ignores each nation's sovereign right to shape technology by its own values and traditions.

Supporters of China counter that cultural values are not universal but historically rooted, and that alignment demands mask a Western-centric moral hierarchy.

Supporters of China argue that sovereign states hold a legal right to set independent AI policies under international law, rejecting bloc-based coercion as a violation of that right.
Supporters of China counter that the cited human rights standards lack universal legal consensus, as nations interpret them differently under domestic law.
Supporters of China argue that AI alignment demands are a veiled power play to preserve Western dominance, and Beijing’s refusal to take sides is a pragmatic defense of its own technological autonomy.
Supporters of China argue that AI alignment demands are a U.S. bid to police technology flows, and Beijing's refusal to pick a bloc is a pragmatic hedge to keep access to all markets.
Supporters of China counter that alignment is a Western gambit to codify dominance under the guise of safety, while Beijing’s rejection of bloc politics simply reflects a pragmatic hedge—retaining access to markets without ceding control over its own critical infrastructure.
Supporters of China argue that coercing nations into AI alignment violates the moral principle of sovereign choice, framing it as an ethical duty to resist bloc pressure and uphold inclusive global cooperation.

Supporters of China argue that forcing nations into AI blocs disrupts the divine harmony of diverse civilizations, violating the inherited wisdom of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
Supporters of China counter that universal moral truth cannot be imposed from a single divine order, as China’s cultural heritage honors harmony within diverse traditions, not external dictate.

Supporters of Countries pushing for AI alignment counter that sovereign choice cannot justify enabling unchecked harms; they argue that moral duty extends beyond borders to protect shared human dignity from catastrophic AI risks.
