The 29th Beijing·Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Seminar "Beijing-Hong Kong Digital Economy Coordinated Development Special Event" was held in Beijing on November 4. It released the results of the physical operation of the Beijing-Hong Kong AI application accelerator, the launch of the pre-research on international standards for physical AI, and the launch of the "one-stop" service platform. It attracted more than 150 representatives from governments, universities, and enterprises from both places to attend the meeting.

In the first half of 2026, the trade volume of AI-related goods increased by 67% year-on-year, contributing 47% to the growth of global trade in goods.

Experts point out that AI not only creates an increase in trade, but also changes the division of labor in the industrial chain, trade patterns and cross-border transactions, and brings new challenges such as the digital divide and trade rules.

It achieves a low-price strategy by setting prices first and then pushing back product design, removing unnecessary functions, shrinking the body to reduce distribution costs, and unifying distribution and installation of the group's logistics system.
