Media outlets this week highlighted China's growing competitiveness in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, pointing to strong policy backing, sustained investment, and robust energy and manufacturing infrastructure as key advantages in the global race.

In an editorial published Wednesday, U.S. magazine Fortune described China as a potential "big winner" in the AI race, citing factors such as abundant power supply, cost-effective manufacturing, and a strong push for open-source development.

The report noted that consistent and large-scale investment - both public and private - has played a critical role in advancing China's AI capabilities.

Meanwhile, an analysis by Reuters pointed to the rising global influence of Chinese AI firms.

It highlighted how China's embrace of open-source AI has benefited developers and businesses worldwide, including multinational companies in the United States and Europe, saying that this shift toward practical applications is increasingly shaping the global AI ecosystem.
