US Aim Is to De-Risk Not Decouple With China, Bessent Says

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking in New York at the National Committee on United States-China Relations, said that the aim of the US is to de-risk, not de-couple from China. Bessent added that the US is working to establish a "direct channel" that will allow both nations to alert the other to incidents involving their "super intelligence" or AI models.
