One thing that makes China’s industrial policy so interesting to study is how extensive it is.
You can pick any key sector or subsector and go down a rabbit hole of state support: railways for Guinean bauxite, R&D for GaN and SiC chips, compute vouchers for AI startups, etc.
Reuters reported that Chinese tech giants Alibaba, ByteDance and other tech firms remain keen on $NVDA AI chips despite regulators in China strongly discouraging them from such purchases.
🚨 NEW REPORT! 🚨
After 2 (!!) years working on a new dataset of thousands of PLA contracts, I’m very excited to share a new report, featured in today’s @WSJ!
We ask: Who are the PLA’s AI suppliers?
The answer: an unexpected, emerging class of firms and universities.

Many thanks to @Jifengbooks for hosting this event in Washington, DC next week featuring 4 of our current Project Fellows (@yingyi_ma@kyleichan@CarlMinzner & @EBKania) previewing the U.S.-China policy recommendations they are developing through our Project. Full details below:
Wen Jiabao, China’s premier under Hu Jintao, did a master’s degree in rare earths in the 1960s.
He personally oversaw China’s rare earths strategy, including controlling exports to bring in foreign manufacturing investment.

With growing international recognition of China’s tech advances in areas like EVs, it’s up to China to show it’s willing to give back and support industrial development in other countries.
