These investments, part of a broader strategy to incubate OpenAI competitors, have led to the valuation of over six China-based startups, known as 'Little AI Dragons', at over $1 billion each. Other Chinese tech giants like ByteDance and Xiaomi are also exploring growth opportunities in emerging markets, particularly in Southeast Asia.
