China is strengthening its commitment to open-source artificial intelligence, helping drive innovation and wider access to advanced technologies worldwide. Recent achievements by Chinese firms, including DeepSeek and Unitree, have drawn international attention and highlighted the country’s growing influence in the AI sector.

Reports show Chinese-developed AI models accounted for a significant share of global large-model downloads, with open-source platforms increasingly adopting technologies from China. Models such as DeepSeek V4, Qwen, and Kimi are widely used by developers and businesses worldwide.

China now hosts more than 6,000 AI companies and has built a comprehensive industrial ecosystem covering chips, computing power, model development, and practical applications. Experts say the country’s open-source approach is accelerating technological adoption, supporting economic growth, and expanding AI use in sectors including healthcare, transportation, and energy.

China has pledged to promote further open-source development, international cooperation, and equal access to AI technologies, aiming to ensure that innovation benefits people worldwide and contributes to shared global progress.
