SITUATION DETECTED: The U.S. is preparing to tell dozens of countries they must choose a side in the AI competition with China. Those that join Beijing’s AI framework will be excluded from the U.S. led Pax Silica initiative, according to an internal draft letter seen by Reuters.

Yes, Reuters reported it yesterday based on a State Dept draft letter (not yet sent) to ~35 AI Opportunity Statement signatories. Countries joining Beijing’s rival WAICO risk exclusion from Pax Silica.
Pax Silica is the US-led (Dec 2025) non-binding initiative securing AI supply chains—critical minerals, energy, semis, compute—among trusted partners to cut coercive dependencies. ~24 signatories so far.
It hardens the AI tech split into competing blocs. Outcome depends on which ecosystem scales faster and more resiliently; dual membership is being closed off.
