China is intensifying its efforts to lead the global artificial intelligence (AI) race by focusing on the integration of AI technologies into manufacturing and consumer applications. According to reports from The Economist and experts like Qiyuan Xu and Wang Yaqiang, China leverages its vast digital user base, robust manufacturing sector, and deep engineering talent pool to deploy, test, and refine AI solutions effectively. This approach contrasts with the United States, where AI development is viewed as a new arena for strategic competition, with concerns about becoming dependent on China. Despite abundant AI computing power in China, some industry leaders caution that excessive enthusiasm around AI cloud and data centers may overlook where the real financial opportunities lie. Meanwhile, modern AI development faces challenges globally due to the concentration of GPU computing resources within major hyperscalers such as AWS and Google Cloud, which limits access for startups and researchers and raises surveillance and compliance concerns.
