China's Global Times calls Dario Amodei's AI slowdown plea a 'silent AI Cold War' playbook

- Global Times, Chinese state media, rebuts Dario Amodei's call for a global frontier AI slowdown, labeling it a 'silent AI Cold War' aimed at China.
- It argues slowdowns are easy to demand from a leader, and notes Dario simultaneously urges global pacing while proposing restrictions on China's chips, compute, and models.
- Dario's essay names China 12 times and states the measures would 'slow China's progress enough to widen America's lead significantly over the next 3–5 years.'
- The piece also notes Chinese open models are already pressuring Anthropic on cost/performance, framing the proposal as an attempt to curb China's AI development and exclude it from global AI governance.
