The Chinese Innovation Password Behind the Blooming Flowers of Artificial Intelligence

2026-02-05   

Currently, artificial intelligence is impacting economic and social development at an unprecedented speed and breadth. A hundred flowers bloom without fertile soil and diligent gardeners. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence, and various regions are promoting their work according to local conditions. Various entities are deeply involved in research and development applications. China's artificial intelligence has accelerated, and its comprehensive strength has achieved a comprehensive and systematic leap. This is precisely the result of our combination of an effective market and a proactive government. Looking at the world, major economies are also systematically laying out their national strategies to support the development of artificial intelligence and promote the coordinated cooperation between the "invisible hand" and the "tangible hand", which has become a common practice among countries around the world. Therefore, we must better grasp the relationship between the government and the market, allowing these "two hands" to work closely and efficiently together, and win the initiative in the future competition of artificial intelligence. Stimulating power and vitality cannot be achieved without the regulation of an effective market. In a high-level market, mechanisms such as price, supply and demand, and competition interact with each other to provide a platform for innovation and trial and error iteration, a soil for supply and demand docking and scenario implementation, and a driving force for the formation and optimization of industrial ecology. The technological iteration in the field of artificial intelligence is extremely fast, and which algorithm has more potential and which business model can be implemented often depends on rapid market feedback and diverse competition to select the optimal solution. Therefore, only by insisting on allowing the market to play a decisive role in the selection of artificial intelligence technology routes, business model innovation, and factor resource allocation, and fully leveraging the market's platform role in innovation sources, efficient trial and error, supply and demand docking, ecological optimization, etc., can we maximize the innovation potential and development vitality of the industry. In an open and competitive market environment, Chinese enterprises, with their high cost-effectiveness advantages and open source and inclusive strategies, have not only significantly lowered the threshold for technology use and promoted artificial intelligence to better benefit all mankind, but also achieved a leap from catching up to leading through fierce market competition and collaborative innovation. By the end of 2025, a total of 748 generative artificial intelligence services have been registered, covering industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, and finance. This series of achievements confirms the powerful force of market mechanisms in driving rapid technological iteration, generating rich applications, and optimizing industrial division of labor. Healthy and orderly development cannot be achieved without the guarantee of a government. Whether it can empower thousands of industries and create a happy life for the broadest masses is the significance of technological development and the standard for testing the effectiveness of all technological developments. Artificial intelligence technology requires large investment, long cycles, and high risks. Pure market capital often tends to pursue short-term returns and definite returns, with insufficient investment in cutting-edge basic research, computing infrastructure, and other public goods. At the same time, the complex risks associated with technological development, such as algorithmic discrimination, privacy breaches, and job substitution, are difficult to effectively resolve solely through the market and may even be exacerbated by profit seeking behavior. This requires the government to actively compensate for market failures and promote the healthy and orderly development of artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe, and fair direction through planning guidance, policy support, resource allocation, and rule constraints. In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented precise policies and systematically constructed a governance system to guide and regulate the development of artificial intelligence. At the top-level design level, release the "Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of 'Artificial Intelligence+' Action" and implementation plans in various fields, etc., to draw a blueprint and clarify the path for the development of artificial intelligence. On the basis of consolidating the foundation, the construction of national artificial intelligence application pilot bases has been launched, and policies such as "artificial intelligence coupons" have been introduced, focusing on solving the pain points of unaffordable and underutilized computing power, and creating a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence. In terms of risk prevention, the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services and the Artificial Intelligence Security Governance Framework have been introduced, laying the institutional foundation for the safe and controllable development of artificial intelligence. The achievement of these results is a vivid manifestation of the synergy and complementary advantages of an efficient market and a proactive government. Only by clenching fingers into fists can we work together to achieve great success. Continuously promoting the high-quality development of artificial intelligence not only requires the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation and constantly stimulate market vitality, but also better plays the role of the government as a "guide" for optimizing the allocation of artificial intelligence resources, a "maintainer" for the healthy development of the industry, and a "guardian" for the safety bottom line. Looking ahead to the future, a better combination of efficient markets and proactive governments will not only foster stronger technological breakthroughs and industrial innovation, but also explore a development path that balances efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, and contribute more Chinese intelligence and solutions to jointly promote the benefits of artificial intelligence for humanity.
