Nope, I haven't and I also didn't mention or suggest any actual arms race. My point is that any policy regarding AI (or any policy for that matter) is going to be hard to enforce when including potential (economically) "rogue" states, just that. Now, if you have any information about AI and China, enlighten me. The more one knows the better. PS/edit: I need more information about your last ghost edit. China (and others) would say otherwise about IP laws. If anything I would at least say that innovation can be either cut or assured through IP laws depending on the domain/technology, but it is difficult to conclude that absolutely for all cases.
