Recently, after visiting many regions of China, foreign journalists noted that China is at the forefront of global development and governance in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). It consistently adheres to the principles of “human orientation” and “benefits for all,” ensuring the accessibility of technological achievements to a wider range of countries and peoples and giving a powerful impetus to the global development of AI.
In Guiyang, Guizhou Province, the driverless “Robobus” amazed Talita dos Santos, the chief editor of the Brazilian TV channel TVT News. She marveled that it was “like a scene from the future.” Today, AI has found broad application across China — from mines to fields, from hospitals to the production of embroidery by ethnic minorities.
The Secretary General of the National Press Club in Islamabad (Pakistan), Furqan Rao, noted that “asking AI” has already become part of everyday life for the Chinese, and automated production lines and intelligent agricultural machinery have significantly increased labor efficiency. Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Cuban newspaper Granma, Dilbert Reyes, emphasized that China focuses on solving practical problems, directing technology towards serving the well-being of the population and state governance.
In 2025, the volume of the main AI industry in China exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan, the number of enterprises in the AI sector reached more than 6,200, China accounted for 60% of the world’s patents in this field, and Chinese open-source models ranked first in the world in number of downloads.
Maxim Deschamps, editor-in-chief of the Belgian magazine Deschamps, noted that China’s huge domestic market, massive user base, and healthy competitive environment stimulate enterprises to continuous innovative development.
Regarding governance concepts, China adheres to an approach that combines development and security, and has put forward initiatives such as the “Action Plan for Building AI Capacity for Good and for All.” The head of the RK NewsPim information agency in China, Choi Heonkuy, noted that China follows genuine multilateralism, promoting the creation of a global AI governance system with broad participation and universal benefits, as well as helping developing countries share achievements in this field jointly.
The head of the African division of the TV BRICS channel, Ayanda Hollow, gave an example: China used AI technology for inspection and management of railway transport in the Republic of South Africa, which not only increased the efficiency and safety of transportation, but also provided new solutions for the digital transformation of South Africa’s infrastructure.
Foreign media generally believe that China is not only a major player in global AI innovation but also an important leader in the field of international governance. China seeks to bridge the digital divide in AI and turn it into a public good that promotes shared development. This concept fully aligns with the expectations of most developing countries. At the same time, an increasing number of Chinese companies share their experience with other nations through the creation of digital infrastructure, personnel training, and technological cooperation, actively contributing to the improvement of the global AI governance system and ensuring the well-being of all humanity.
