Companies like Alibaba, Baidu, and NetEase highlight how China is becoming a leader in developing AI technology. These language models will usher in speedy growth within the country, and become a driving force in the next technological and industrial revolution with China at the forefront.

Anti-China narrative

Investors have learned tough lessons from past PRC regulations on technology, and a state crackdown could easily be imminent. China is promising growth, but that doesn’t mean it will happen.
