Rep. Ro Khanna, Democrat of California and the top Democrat on the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, urged President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to make enforceable AI safeguards the first item at their summit. He said Chinese AI companies including DeepSeek and Alibaba had not responded to letters seeking cooperation on slowing development until guardrails are established. Khanna proposed international monitoring, data-center checks, a ban on recursive self-improving AI and safeguards against using AI to develop biological or nuclear weapons. He also called for an independent federal AI agency modeled on the FDA and supported efforts to secure the release of constituent and scholar Min Zin, whom he said had been held in China for 100 days without a lawyer or court date.
