The National People’s Congress stands under the sign of the state leadership’s new tech optimism. The Communist Party is increasingly placing AI technologies at the heart of its innovation model. At the presentation of the government’s Work Report, Premier Li Qiang announced the „extensive application of large-scale AI models.“ The report mentioned the word „technology“ 28 times in connection with support for quantum technology, AI-linked robotics and the construction of 6G networks, for example.
