中国国家主席习近平近期将中国定位为低成本、开源人工智慧的推动者，致力于建立一个自给自足的 AI 生态系统。美国的出口管制意外地加速了中国在技术上寻求自立的进程，使得中国的 AI 解决方案在全球，特别是新兴市场中，变得极具吸引力。

受限于无法取得美国硬体，华为和 DeepSeek 等中国企业开发了「开放权重」模型。这些模型具有成本效益且适应性强，透过向全球扩张以在国内需求疲软的情况下创造回报，从而协助解决中国面临的经济挑战。

中国 AI 技术的扩散代表著「中国冲击 4.0」，不仅输出了技术，更输出了治理原则。随著这些模型的传播，中国正加速其自身的 AI 治理框架，旨在塑造对其有利的全球体系，并在海外建立更强大的战略立足点。

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently positioned China as a champion of low-cost, open-source AI, aiming to build a self-sustaining ecosystem. US export controls have inadvertently accelerated China's drive for technological self-reliance, making Chinese AI solutions highly appealing globally, especially in emerging markets.

Restricted from accessing US hardware, Chinese companies like Huawei and DeepSeek have developed "open-weight" models. These models are cost-effective and adaptable, helping to address China's economic challenges by expanding globally to generate returns amid weak domestic demand.

The proliferation of Chinese AI technology represents "China shock 4.0," exporting not just technology but also governance principles. As these models spread, China is accelerating its own AI governance frameworks, aiming to shape the global system in its favor and build a stronger strategic foothold abroad.
