Bill O'Reilly meets CCP leaders, calls for cooperation with China
(NewsNation) — Bill O'Reilly said Monday that the United States has no choice but to work with China to prevent global conflict, despite the country's history of breaking agreements and engaging in espionage. 'There's no other alternative,' O'Reilly said on NewsNation's 'On Balance' after returning from meetings with what he called 'the most powerful people' in China. 'We've got to try to get a deal with China.' O'Reilly said he briefed President Donald Trump for about 30 minutes following his China trip, though he declined to share specifics of that conversation. He said Chinese officials indicated that tariffs were not their primary concern, but Taiwan remains the central issue. '2049, 100 years since Mao Zedong imposed communism, they want Taiwan under the Chinese flag,' O'Reilly said. 'I told them that while President Trump is in office, it's not going to happen militarily.' Russia severely limited after attack: Ex-Ukraine ambassador O'Reilly proposed what he called a 'plan for peace and prosperity' that would position the United States and China as global 'enforcers' of peace, potentially sidelining Russia and Iran. He said Chinese officials appeared receptive to the concept. When pressed about China's surveillance state and human rights abuses, O'Reilly acknowledged the country's authoritarian nature but distinguished Chinese leadership from Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he characterized as more 'psychopathic.' 'I wouldn't use the word evil across the board,' O'Reilly said of China. 'It's a police state, a surveillance state. Nobody has any rights. They justify it by saying, look, we got a billion and a half people.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

China's smart cities streets ahead, but same AI challenges apply the world over
Each night in the darkest hours, a fleet of drones patrols the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, watching over potentially dodgy areas such as underground station exits and the riverside to deter any would-be criminals. Advertisement The nightly routine has been operating since last year, according to a report published in April by the city's police bureau, which detailed its use of artificial intelligence to plan patrol routes. According to the report, the AI puts a laser focus on patrolling Nanjing's blind spots – the areas generally ignored by human patrols. The city's experience is part of China's efforts to scale up the use of AI in urban management, to better handle complex challenges brought by the massive scale of city life and rapid urbanisation. The Chinese leadership has long viewed AI as a tool for transforming the economy and refining its governance, launching the 'smart cities' initiative and other programmes over the past decade. Advertisement Despite this rapid progress, analysts warned that China's AI governance faces challenges – including privacy protection and limited community involvement – that are mirrored in other parts of the world as governments race to adopt the technology.
