Why would China - or worse, Russia - sign any treaty with the US that'd make them worse off if they actually follow through?

The biggest problem is that the US has shown not trustable when it comes to treaty. You can have a treaty with the US but the US can just use Israel or some other proxy to do the advance research and development for them..

How would it make them worse off? If everybody agrees that AI is a threat to humanity, but also a possible edge over rivals, then the threat should be enough reason to get everybody to agree.

There are international agreements on tons of things that work the same way.

Why would they trust the US to honour anything they sign? Look how Trump has ignored the trade deal he signed with Canada.
