Original: Weapon or armour? The contentious debate over China’s open-weight AI

The discussion touches on security, competitiveness and the strategic value of openly sharing AI technology.
Why now: Chinese AI labs' open-weight releases have sparked global argument over whether openness in AI is a strategic weapon or defensive advantage.
