"Premier Li Qiang emphasized 'the need to accelerate self-reliance in high-level science and technology' against a background of 'unilateralism and protectionism escalating abruptly,' referencing Trump administration trade policy, while highlighting China's recent advances in independent chip research and development and noting integrated circuit output rose 10.9 percent last year."
"China will accelerate promotion of agentic AI, boost the open source AI ecosystem, and build infrastructure through 'ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters and computing-powered collaboration, strengthening nationwide integrated computing power monitoring and scheduling, and supporting the development of public clouds.'"
"The Australian Strategic Policy Institute found that China leads the world in 66 of the 74 critical technologies it tracks and achieved this position in under 20 years, demonstrating that China's words about technological progress have turned into real action rather than mere rhetoric."
China's Premier Li Qiang delivered the annual Government Work Report at the Two Sessions, emphasizing accelerated self-reliance in high-level science and technology amid rising unilateralism and protectionism. China reported a 10.9 percent increase in integrated circuit output and claims its AI companies lead the global open-source ecosystem. The government plans to accelerate agentic AI promotion, boost the open-source AI ecosystem, and develop ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters and nationwide computing power infrastructure. China's technological advancement is substantiated by research showing it leads in 66 of 74 critical technologies tracked, achieved within two decades, demonstrating that government rhetoric translates into measurable progress.
