Beijing – China’s eyeliner Annual parliamentary meetings this week This is the tensions in the US – and how Chinese technologies compensate for this pressure.
To a large extent, the solemn collection of delegates in Beijing this year took place exactly as US President Donald Trump appealed to Congress and imposed new tariffs on Chinese goods. This is a clear drag -drive, while Chinese companies have only faced tighter restrictions on high -end semiconductors and other advanced technologies.
“At the international level … an increasingly difficult and heavy external environment can have a greater impact on China in areas such as trade, science and technology,” Chinese Prime Minister Lee Ten said in his annual report on the opening ceremony of the National People’s Congress on Wednesday, according to the official translation of English.
It was an extraordinarily gloomy assessment of at least seven parliamentary meetings I attended. But I also felt more willing to support the private sector than in the past – especially since it is due to technological innovations, such as the Chinese company AI Deepseek.
“We will promote a healthy and well-regulated development of the platform economy and provide a better game of its role in inspiring innovation, expanding consumption and employment stabilization,” the work report said.
This noted the latest signal that Beijing now wants to support the private sector after earlier held a much more restrictive position and imposing large fines on Alibaba and Tencent technological giants, often called “platforms” in China. In many companies and industries in China, the state has historically prevailed.
A recent rise Deepseek Demonstrated by many international investors – who have become cautious about the delayed economy – how the Chinese company could compete with the US on AI, regardless of the White House sanctions.
Beijing quickly confirmed the success of the startup. Liang Wenfen Deepseek attended a meeting with Prime Minister Lee in January and a symposium with Chinese President Xi Jinping in February.
AI to counter protectionism?
While Deepseek did not mention the government’s work report, a team member that made a report named it – and applications such as Kuaishou’s Kling Ai for Generation Generation – while talking to China’s rapid development on Wednesday.
“Historically, technological progress is often an important force for punching barriers and protectionism,” said Chen Changsheng, who is also the Deputy Director of the State Council of the Council, in the mandarin translated by CNBC.
“We look forward to how under the current international background AI will become positive energy to promote cooperation and multilateral,” he said.

“Tech” received another mention this year in the report against last year, and “Reform” has received 10 more references, according to the versions of Chinese. The technological independence also received its own subsection in the latest annual work report in China, unlike passage in 2024.
New law
China’s legislative body is discussing a new law to support the private sector. Beijing said that after further discussions and reviews would be accepted as soon as possible.
This year, the politician is likely to be caused by more upwards, not top to bottom, said Dean Wenzi, an investment strategist on world capital investment in Chinese Asset Management Co., translated by CNBC her notes.
It counts on the growth of II and leading technology to the development of other industries, but warns that it is likely to need more companies than only one quarter to see the results.
China’s parliamentary sessions are officially completed at the beginning of next week. More official comments on technology and the private sector law are expected to be drawn up in the coming days.
Among the main priorities for the next year, Prime Minister Lee said, supports “Widespread use of large -scale AI models.” Beijing plans to increase the financing of bioproduction, quantum technology, robotics associated with II and 6G.
Objectives characteristic of the industry
“Political emphasis in China is to accelerate the adoption of II and autonomous management, while making gradual progress in housing restructuring and (local self -government) debt,” Chinese Chinese Sing Sing and team said on Wednesday. They noted that “the fiscal package came as expected: (2 trillion yuan ($ 280 billion)) extensions with easy consumption support.”
Chinese official comments during the meetings this week hint at the preference for open source models.
Chen, in the team development report, warned against the “excessive” use of private projects AI that could fragmented the market, and instead called for “large -scale applications”.
China will also work on increasing computing and development “open source models”, an economic planning agency called the National Development and Reform Commission, said in its plan forward.
