China Tech Daily is a daily brief on Chinese technology. Every morning we read the Chinese-language press — company announcements, regulators, research outlets, and trade media — and pull together the chip, AI, robotics, and policy developments worth knowing, with a short explanation of what each one means.
China's technology sector moves fast, and most of what drives it is reported first in Chinese, across far more outlets than anyone outside the country can follow. New models, new chips, new rules, new fights over compute and capital: more arrives every day than English-language coverage can keep up with. China Tech Daily reads the original sources, filters the noise, and puts what matters in one place — so you can read what Beijing read today without combing through dozens of Chinese-language sources yourself.
Who publishes it
China Tech Daily is published and funded by the AI Policy Institute (AIPI), a research and polling nonprofit focused on artificial intelligence. AIPI is known for its public opinion polling on AI and its policy research, and it works with lawmakers, journalists, and researchers across the field.
