China is accelerating efforts to promote innovation and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) following a recent government meeting focused on advancing the AI industry. Concurrently, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has acknowledged intense competition within the country's automotive sector. To address this, MOFCOM recently convened a meeting with auto industry associations, research institutions, and companies to gather input on the challenges faced. The ministry announced plans to implement policy measures aimed at rectifying excessive competition and to enhance guidance on the automotive consumption market, particularly in new energy vehicles (NEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs).
