The targets, unveiled in guidelines by the State Council, China’s cabinet, on Tuesday, are part of Beijing’s “AI Plus” strategy, which seeks to integrate the cutting-edge technology across manufacturing, agriculture and services. “[The strategy aims to] boost productivity, reshape how... https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3323323/china-races-embed-ai-use-across-major-industries-ambitious-2030-target?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3323323/china-races-embed-ai-use-across-major-industries-ambitious-2030-target?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 27 Aug 2025 08:00:17 +0000 Coco Feng Coco Feng China’s domestic server and chipmakers are entering a “super cycle” as the country’s local governments spend lavishly on computing infrastructure to support artificial intelligence development. The AI Computing Power Concept Index, compiled by Chinese financial data provider Wind and comprising 54 component stocks, hit a record high on Monday, with an increase of 166 per cent over the past 52 weeks. The frenzy was stoked by DeepSeek’s hint last week that it has changed its data format to support... https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3323094/chinas-server-chipmakers-enter-super-cycle-ai-computing-capacity-mushrooms?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/tech/article/3323094/chinas-server-chipmakers-enter-super-cycle-ai-computing-capacity-mushrooms?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 25 Aug 2025 13:00:17 +0000 Luna Sun Luna Sun China is banking on artificial intelligence (AI) to become a new growth engine, and there are projections that it could add several trillion yuan to the economy by 2035 amid a national push for computing power and a unified data market. Beijing is knitting together a national computing network. At the China Computing Power Conference held in Datong, Shanxi province, over the weekend, officials announced that 10 provinces and municipalities – from Shanghai and Zhejiang in the east to Qinghai and... https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3323046/china-bets-ai-pump-trillions-economy-amid-national-computing-push?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3323046/china-bets-ai-pump-trillions-economy-amid-national-computing-push?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 25 Aug 2025 08:30:13 +0000 Luna Sun Luna Sun China has vowed an even stronger push to entrench digital infrastructure’s role as an economic growth engine, after a rapid 5G roll-out in recent years that has helped lift its computing power to the world’s No 2 ranking, trailing only the US. In the five years to June this year, the number of 5G base stations in China had grown fivefold to 4.55 million and the number of gigabit broadband users had risen 34-fold to 226 million, substantially lifting the country’s computing power, Liu Liehong,... https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3321880/china-no-2-global-computing-power-accelerates-build-out-ai-race-heats?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3321880/china-no-2-global-computing-power-accelerates-build-out-ai-race-heats?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:15 +0000 Ann Cao,Wency Chen Ann Cao,Wency Chen China is now home to 1,509 AI models, which accounts for more than 40 per cent of the world’s total, according to data from the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, showing the country’s great leap forward in the fast-growing technology. There are 3,755 total AI models known worldwide, according to a Xinhua report on Monday, citing WAIC data. Tencent Holdings and SenseTime on Sunday launched new AI models at the conference.
