Democratic-led US Congress to turn up heat on Beijing over AI, Taiwan: analyst

A Democratic-controlled US Congress will ramp up pressure on Beijing over Taiwan, artificial intelligence (AI) and export controls, even if the US midterm results leave Washington’s overall strategy towards Beijing unchanged, according to a Chinese analyst.Zhao Minghao, a professor at Fudan University’s Institute of International Studies, called the results so far a “blue tsunami” and a “big win” for the Democrats that would turn US President Donald Trump into a “lame duck”.The Associated Press on Wednesday afternoon reported that Democrats had won control of the Senate, flipping several Republican-held seats amid voter frustration over high prices and the Iran war. They also took control of the US House of Representatives.
