CKGSB Launches New White Paper on China's Role in the Global AI Race
BEIJING, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) today released a new white paper, China and the Global AI Race, revealing how China is leveraging its unique strengths in manufacturing, data, and a burgeoning startup scene to carve out a leadership role in artificial intelligence. As CKGSB Dean Li Haitao emphasizes, "AI is no longer just a sector – it is the architecture of a new global economy…And China's role in this transition is increasingly strategic." Drawing on insights from CKGSB faculty and industry experts, the report dissects China's AI strategy on four fronts: the open-source revolution, workforce transformation, intelligent robotics, and AI ecosystem development. The paper highlights the disruptive impact of open-source AI, pointing to the breakthrough DeepSeek R1 model, which offers powerful performance with lower hardware costs. This development could fundamentally alter the U.S.-China tech competition. As Professor of Strategic Management Teng Bingsheng explains, "China may not have to fight a chip war to the same will use engineering innovations to get around computational capacity, and that is a great opportunity." The paper also examines the human dimension of this transformation, analyzing how AI reshapes leadership and the workforce. Instead of replacing jobs, it creates demand for new skills and the emergence of what CKGSB Dean's Distinguished Chair Professor of Information Systems Sun Tianshu calls"AI Architects"—a new generation of business leaders focused on integrating intelligence into core operations. "The challenge is no longer about access to intelligence, but about how to integrate it effectively," says Sun. The report identifies robotics as the next pivotal area for growth. "The physical world will become the space of highest potential for AI development in the next few years," notes Sun. CKGSB alumnus Li Mingyang, Chairman of Jaka Robotics Co., adds, "China already has an advanced smart vehicle industry, which is fit for scaled mass production of the core components for robotics." Together, these insights paint a picture of a country not just participating in the AI race, but actively mapping out its future. China and the Global AI Race provides an essential guide for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the trajectory of 21st-century technology and economic power.

China building strong foundation for next wave of AI, robotics: Unitree CEO
As the head of China's humanoid robotics start-up Unitree disclosed its annual revenue has passed one billion yuan (US$139.4 million), entrepreneurs and scholars said the country's strong data infrastructure, mature supply chain and vast market position it as a potential leader in the next wave of development for artificial intelligence (AI). 'The rising attention on our industry, along with increasing demand and support, has created the essential conditions for leading companies to grow rapidly,' Wang Xingxing said during a panel discussion on Thursday at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Tianjin, where he announced the milestone. The Unitree founder and CEO said support from the government of Zhejiang province, where the company is based, along with its favourable business environment and rich talent pool , all contributed to his firm's success since its founding in 2016.

The partnership agreement was signed by Dean Li Haitao and Mr. Dawood Al Shezawi, Chairman of the AIM Global Foundation, on April 8, 2025, at the AIM Congress' China Investment Forum, held in Abu Dhabi, UAE. In his keynote speech, Dean Li outlined how in the new global paradigm the "Global South" is rising due to the US tariff war, and China, as a 'Global South' country, is building deeper trade relations with its 'Global South' peers, represented by economies in the Middle East, Latin America, and ASEAN. He noted that China is driving a new phase of global business expansion, as multi-sector, high-tech private firms like BYD, CATL, TikTok, and Shein are actively venturing the global market. Given the potential of digital economy in the Middle East, there can be great synergies between these two regions. Dean Li joined speakers such as the Ambassador of the UAE to China, Hussain Ibrahim Al Hammadi, and the Chairman of AIM Congress and AIM Global Foundation, Dawood Al Shezawi, to explore China's investment dynamic and its opportunities for global collaboration. CKGSB is China's first privately-funded business school that aims to cultivate transformative business leaders with a global vision, sense of social responsibility, innovative mindset, and ability to lead with empathy and compassion. AIM Global Foundation is an independent organization committed to empowering the world's economy by boosting effective promotion strategies and facilitating opportunities for economic productivity and expansion.
