China has introduced a national action plan to strengthen artificial intelligence, blockchain, advanced chips and other strategic technologies while supporting digital companies, industrial use and overseas expansion through 2030.
China Targets AI, Blockchain and Advanced Chips
The plan calls for stronger development of core technologies such as advanced chips, basic software, industrial software, communications and data security. It also identifies blockchain, quantum technology, brain-computer interfaces, digital twins and new display technologies as priority areas.
Artificial intelligence will receive added support across high-end AI chips, large-scale computing systems and model development. Authorities also want companies to work on large language models, multimodal models, autonomous agents, world models and embodied AI.
Chinese technology firms will also be encouraged to contribute to open-source software projects and developer communities. The government plans to support companies that can influence global technology standards while developing more high-growth businesses and unicorns.
Under the structure, authorities will classify selected companies as ecosystem leaders, industry leaders or high-growth innovators. Larger companies will be encouraged to provide smaller businesses with technology, data, funding and market access.
Digital Technology to Expand Across Industries
The government plans to push digital tools deeper into manufacturing through industrial internet platforms, smart factories and industry-specific AI models. Humanoid robots and other automated systems also form part of the industrial development plan.
Agriculture and rural areas will receive support for smart farming, e-commerce and digital public services. Meanwhile, healthcare providers will be encouraged to adopt AI-based services, while tourism, entertainment and cultural industries can develop new digital products.
China also wants technology companies to expand into international markets. Companies with capabilities in AI, cloud computing and computing infrastructure will receive support for overseas growth.
Authorities plan to provide help with regulatory compliance, international standards, trade restrictions and legal disputes. Larger Chinese technology companies may also support smaller firms seeking access to foreign markets.
China Adds Funding and Regulatory Support
The plan calls for wider funding channels for technology companies, including support from investment funds for early-stage and hard-tech businesses. Qualified companies may also receive support when seeking listings on domestic or overseas stock markets.
Companies will gain wider access to compliant data and digital talent programs. Authorities also want to improve cybersecurity, personal-data protection and algorithm oversight as more AI-based products enter the market.
Regulators plan to strengthen antitrust enforcement and address practices such as forced platform exclusivity and excessive subsidies. China also intends to advance laws covering AI, blockchain, digital economies, online platforms and cybersecurity.
By 2030, the government aims to establish a larger group of globally competitive technology companies while increasing the use of digital systems across traditional industries. The plan combines financial support, technology development and regulation as China expands its digital economy.
