I think his main point is in the summary:

though the safety of AGI is indeed an important issue, currently we don’t know enough about the subject to make any sure conclusion. Higher safety can only be achieved by more research on all related topics, rather than by pursuing approaches that have no solid scientific foundation.

Not sure how you can effectively argue with this.

His main agenda and desired conclusion regarding social policy is represented in the summary there, but the main point made in his discussion is "Adaptive! Adaptive! Adaptive!". Where by 'adaptive' he refers to his conception of an AI that is changes its terminal goals based on education.

Pang calls these "original goals" and "derived goals". The "original goals" don't change, but they may not stay "dominant" for long - in Pei's proposed system.
