Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI), as a strategic technology leading the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, has profoundly changed the way humans produce and live. The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese government attach great importance to AI development and have improved top-level design and strengthened
implementation efforts in recent years, driving a holistic and systematic advancement of China’s comprehensive AI strength. In contrast, many other Global South countries, due to limitations in technology, capital, and material resources, lag far behind developed countries in AI development, further widening the global intelligence divide. On April 25, 2025, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 20th collective study session on strengthening the development and regulation of AI.
