On September 24, Guo Jiakun, the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, presided over a routine press briefing. During the session, a correspondent from The New York Times referenced remarks by U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent, who had indicated that, in discussions with Vice Premier He Lifeng, both nations had reached a consensus on setting up a formal communication channel. This would encompass an emergency hotline dedicated to addressing AI security incidents. The journalist queried the Foreign Ministry on whether China had indeed agreed to the establishment of this dialogue mechanism and notification system. In response, Guo Jiakun mentioned that China had already disseminated information concerning the economic and trade consultations between China and the United States and recommended that detailed inquiries be further addressed to the appropriate Chinese governmental bodies.
