China, recently at the center of discussions, particularly due to its tensions with the United States, has embarked on this venture to gain a competitive edge. Premier Li Qiang displayed considerable confidence during the announcement, hinting that the initiative could serve as a groundbreaking solution to the country’s economic slowdown, with numerous R&D efforts planned in the realm of artificial intelligence.
