TIANJIN, May 31 (Xinhua) — China has established a relatively comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) industrial system by April 2025, with the market size in the basic sector approaching 600 billion yuan (about 83.45 billion U.S. dollars), according to the China Development and Reform Commission (CDRC).

The data was presented in a review of AI technology development in China by NCDC official Huang Zhu at the China-Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Forum on Artificial Intelligence Cooperation, which was held on May 29 in Tianjin, northern China.

Huang Zhu stressed that the number of China’s patent applications in the field of AI has exceeded 1.5 million, accounting for almost 40 percent of the global total.

China has made comprehensive progress in AI development, forming a thriving industrial ecosystem. The country is home to more than 400 “small giants” – specialized small and medium-sized enterprises that excel in niche segments of the AI market, including the innovative DeepSeek.

The SCO is a comprehensive regional cooperation organization covering the largest territory and population in the world, and has vast data resources and diverse AI application scenarios.

Huang Zhu noted that accelerating cooperation in the field of AI technology and application will help revitalize the socio-economic development of the SCO, promote inclusive global development and act as a bridge to overcome the global digital divide.

China is willing to cooperate with other SCO member states, firmly uphold the “Shanghai Spirit” and step up joint efforts to promote the beneficial, safe and fair development of artificial intelligence, Huang added. -0-
