A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce of China said on September 9 that the United States issued a cybersecurity announcement related to the distillation activities of Chinese artificial intelligence companies in the United States. The relevant announcement by the United States is another clear evidence of its pursuit of technological hegemony, monopoly on computing power, and suppression of competition in the field of artificial intelligence. China is firmly opposed to this. The spokesperson pointed out that distillation is a normal technical and business practice in the field of artificial intelligence. The United States has politicized, tooled and applied double standards. China encourages open source, openness, cooperation and sharing, and is willing to manage risks through dialogue. However, if the United States implements containment actions, China will resolutely take measures to counter it.
Beijing released the “Digital Economy Development Plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan Period”, proposing to comprehensively improve the integration level of digital intelligence technology and the real economy by 2030.
