So that means China is not from this world?

My understanding is China's rules are pretty wide open and effectively boil down to "if we don't like your use of AI, we will shut you down"... which isn't really much of a law. China would've done exactly the same thing without that law. There is some stuff in there about oversight/etc but that's about it.

Most of China's AI legislation is actually focused on encouraging companies to invest in AI, it's not really about regulating it. The US also has a bunch of AI laws in the same vein as China.

The EU legislation is much more specific and specifically prohibits AI in a bunch of specific situations. For example they have made it illegal to use AI for face recognition in "public spaces".
