中國國家主席習近平近期將中國定位為低成本、開源人工智慧的推動者，致力於建立一個自給自足的 AI 生態系統。美國的出口管制意外地加速了中國在技術上尋求自立的進程，使得中國的 AI 解決方案在全球，特別是新興市場中，變得極具吸引力。

受限於無法取得美國硬體，華為和 DeepSeek 等中國企業開發了「開放權重」模型。這些模型具有成本效益且適應性強，透過向全球擴張以在國內需求疲軟的情況下創造回報，從而協助解決中國面臨的經濟挑戰。

中國 AI 技術的擴散代表著「中國衝擊 4.0」，不僅輸出了技術，更輸出了治理原則。隨著這些模型的傳播，中國正加速其自身的 AI 治理框架，旨在塑造對其有利的全球體系，並在海外建立更強大的戰略立足點。

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.
