China’s tech landscape is hitting new highs in 2025, with over 700 generative AI large model products officially registered this year, according to the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC). The milestone highlights rapid advancements in AI, integrated circuits, and software during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025).
💡 HarmonyOS, the homegrown operating system, now powers over 1.19 billion devices—a flex for China’s open-source ambitions. Meanwhile, embodied AI (think robots that learn like humans!) is moving from labs to real-world industries.
🌾 Rural areas are catching the digital wave too: internet access jumped to 79.7% nationwide, narrowing the urban-rural gap by 8.2% since 2020. Farmers aren’t just planting crops—they’re planting clicks, with rural e-commerce sales hitting $355B in 2024. Telemedicine? It’s now available in every city and county.
📈 Fun fact: Agricultural tech adoption grew by 7.5% this Five-Year Plan. Who said tractors and algorithms don’t mix?
