Abstract：Against the backdrop of artificial intelligence (AI)profoundly reshaping the global socioeconomic landscape,the EU's AI Pact,as the world's first legally binding international treaty on AI,carries profound significance for global AI governance.Based on the tripartite analytical framework of “time-space-actor” in regional and national perspective studies,the following conclusions are drawn:The EU's promotion of the AI Pact aims to counter strategic coercion from the U.S.and Russia,pool internal resources overcome developmental bottlenecks,and enhance its international and institutional discourse power in the AI domain.For China's AI governance,although the EU is unlikely to achieve its political ambition of narrowing the gap with major powers like China and the U.S.in AI through the AI Pact in the short term,it may pose risks to China's ongoing construction of AI legal norms:①Restricting China's international influence in AI.②Placing domestic AI policies in a predicament of application.In response,China should optimize its AI legal system domestically and internationally,clarify core guiding principles and strengthen top-level design.From the regional and national perspective,a regional and country-specific approach should be adopted to derive methodological pathways for constructing China's AI-related foreign legal system.Internationally,it is critical to anchor the balance between competition and cooperative trust while accelerating the transformation of domestic legal norms into international legal standards.
