China added 430 gigawatts of renewable energy in 2025 alone and is co-locating AI data centers in surplus clean-power zones, creating a structural electricity cost advantage over US AI infrastructure that export controls and chip restrictions cannot address.
China has extended overseas travel restrictions to senior AI researchers at private firms including Alibaba and DeepSeek, treating top AI talent as a strategic national asset.
DeepSeek is permanently locking in a 75% discount on its V4-Pro API, setting new prices well below U.S. competitors and putting lasting pressure on the AI inference market.
China installs 295,000 industrial robots annually versus 34,200 in the US — an 8.6-to-1 gap that signals the US-China AI competition is moving from model benchmarks to factory floors.
China's top internet, economic, and industrial regulators have jointly released the world's first national framework governing AI agents — autonomous systems that can plan, reason, and act across digital environments.
China has embedded AI-powered robotics at the center of its 15th Five-Year Plan, directing state investment toward physical AI systems in factories, logistics, and construction.
Four Chinese AI labs — Z.ai, MiniMax, Moonshot, and DeepSeek — released open-weight coding models matching Western frontier performance at one-third the inference cost in May 2026.
Moonshot AI, developer of the open-weight Kimi model series, closed a $2 billion round led by Meituan's venture arm — reaching $200 million ARR as global demand for open-source AI alternatives accelerates.
Chinese AI lab DeepSeek released its most capable model yet, roughly one year after its original launch rattled global AI markets — and the efficiency debate is back.
Huawei expects its Ascend AI chip line to hit $12 billion in 2026 revenue as DeepSeek V4 drives mass orders from Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent — and Huawei closes in on 60% of China's domestic AI chip market.
China's leading autonomous trucking companies say LLM breakthroughs won't speed up commercialization timelines. Physical driving data — not model advances — is the real bottleneck.
Goldman Sachs has blocked Hong Kong employees from using Anthropic's Claude — both directly and through internal AI platforms — citing its contractual arrangement with Anthropic, not local regulation.
China has ordered Meta to reverse its completed $2 billion acquisition of agentic AI startup Manus — a rare post-close unwind demand signaling Beijing's hardening stance on U.S. firms absorbing Chinese-origin AI talent.
China's NDRC has ordered Meta to unwind its $2 billion acquisition of Manus — Beijing's most direct intervention yet in a U.S. tech company's attempt to acquire an AI firm tied to Chinese nationals.
DeepSeek released V4 today — 1.6 trillion parameters, a 1 million token context window, and open-source weights. Here is what changed and what it means for the global AI race.
The Trump administration announced plans to crack down on Chinese companies exploiting U.S. AI models — an escalation that lands on the same day DeepSeek released its most powerful model yet.
DeepSeek released V4 Flash and V4 Pro on April 24 with top-tier coding benchmarks and a 1-million-token context window—open-source, again, at a moment when Silicon Valley assumed the gap was widening.
Frontier AI models now solve real software engineering tasks with near-perfect accuracy — but the same report finds leading AI systems are disclosing less about how they work than ever before.
Three competing AI labs struck a formal intelligence-sharing agreement to counter adversarial distillation — a technique Chinese AI companies are using to replicate frontier model capabilities by querying APIs at scale.
The 2026 Stanford AI Index found China closed the US AI performance lead from 9.26% to 1.70% in one year — while major labs slashed transparency scores by 31%.
