China continues to scale its AI computing infrastructure while its AI‑related exports accelerate. The Hebei Artificial Intelligence Computing Center in Langfang, now operating at over 95 % capacity, supports more than a thousand enterprises and hundreds of university teams, contributing to the province’s 38 % share of national compute capacity. Nationwide, the NDRC reports smart‑compute power at 2.8 times the 2025 level, driven by a domestic 100,000‑GPU supercluster and eight national hubs delivering 2.4 million PFlops. In the first half of 2026, Ministry of Commerce official He Shaojun confirmed a sharp export surge: industrial robot shipments rose 18.6 % year‑on‑year and 3D‑printer exports jumped 109.3 % from January to June, reflecting June. The ministry highlighted that this growth reflects China’s strong industrial base, ongoing innovation, a large domestic market and active international cooperation. The ministry It pledged continued support for high‑quality foreign trade and trade, deeper integration of Chinese AI industries into global supply chains. These developments underscore China’s dual push to expand domestic AI compute capacity chains, and increase its presence in global AI‑related markets. released a paper on “overcapacity” emphasizing that stable, healthy industry development depends on ongoing reforms.
