In 2023, the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) of Tsinghua University employed a detailed approach, combining the Delphi method and statistical analysis, to systematically assess the external security risks that could significantly impact China in the following year. This comprehensive study brought together 40 Chinese experts from diverse fields, including international relations, government, business, and media, to collaboratively identify and evaluate these risks.

By the end of 2023, the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) of Tsinghua University employed the Delphi method and the statistical analysis method for social sciences to identify and evaluate the external security risks that are projected to pose the greatest impact on China in the coming year.

As the world is standing at a historic crossroads, the international order is undergoing the most significant changes since the end of the Cold War, among which China is undoubtedly in the firing line. The rest of the world is now watching China with curious eyes full of hope, doubt or anxiety. What is China like? How do Chinese people view the world? How will China utilize its growing strength? China has been trying to answer these questions, but there are still many confusions, misunderstandings and misinterpretations in the outside world. To reduce the “information deficit” in the dialogue between China and the rest of the world, research institutions in China need to adopt scientific methods to present the world with a “filter-free” picture of China in a continuous, accurate and objective way.

On January 19, 2023, the Center for International Security and Strategy of Tsinghua University (CISS) issued the report titled External Security Risks for China in 2023.

Extant literature has not fully accounted for the changes underway in China’s perspectives on the ethical risks of artificial intelligence (AI). This article develops a community-of-practice (CoP) approach to the study of Chinese policymaking in the field of AI. It shows that the Chinese approach to ethical AI emerges from the communication of practices of a relatively stable group of actors from three domains—the government, academia, and the private sector. This Chinese CoP is actively cultivated and led by government actors. The paper draws attention to CoP config- urations during collective situated-learning and problem-solving among its members that inform the evolution of Chinese ethical concerns of AI. In so doing, it demonstrates how a practice-oriented approach can contri- bute to interpreting Chinese politics on AI governance.

The report you are reading is the result of a joint effort by the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS) and the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University. We have tried to examine the root causes, impacts and implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict from the perspectives of international order, China-US relations, China-EU relations, China-Russia relations, arms control and world economy. As Beijing- and Shanghai-based think tanks on international studies, we hope to present diversified but balanced voices to the pertinent discussions in China, and to provide a Chinese voice to readers outside of China.

Scientists generally hold that the development of artificial intelligence (AI) is still at the stage of “weak AI” or “ANI”, which means the technology is only capable of fulfilling a certain task or addressing a specific issue.

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is entering a new stage where it is integrated with various economic and social sectors faster, enables industrial upgrading, facilitates economic transition and drives social progress.

In the US, artificial intelligence (AI) policies emphasize to advance its proactive and visionary AI development and maintain its global leadership in key AI sectors, such as chips, operating systems and other computer sectors as well as finance, militar

With the large collection of personal data by various intelligent devices and intelligent systems, data security risk has become a key factor that affects each country to develop artificial intelligence(AI) safely.

The wide application of Artificial intelligence (AI) not only has significantly facilitated the production and life of mankind today, but also will potentially bring about disruptive changes in the future.

This paper focuses on how artificial intelligence (AI) will impact the international order by influencing the international configuration and norms.
