--- date: 2026-07-13 subject: "Four agencies map internet infra to 2030 | Doubao, Qwen pull AI companions | Dongfang DF1000 chip" --- **MIIT and three agencies issued** a joint directive on July 13 setting 2030 and 2035 targets for internet infrastructure leadership, naming satellite mega-constellations, in-country root DNS mirrors, expanded .CN resolution nodes, and unified agentic internet protocols as breakthrough goals. **ByteDance's Doubao and Alibaba's Qwen announced** they will take AI companion features offline on July 15 to comply with Beijing's Interim Provisions on AI Anthropomorphic Interaction Services, which bar virtual intimate services to minors and prohibit inducing emotional dependence, while NetEase Cloud Music's Miaoshi app will shut down entirely on July 14. **Dongfang Suanxin launched the DF1000** on July 13, a software-defined near-memory 3D AI chip built on a fully domestic supply chain that the Shanghai startup reports delivers 520 TFLOPS at BF16, 6.4 TB/s of memory bandwidth, and 900 GB/s of scale-up interconnect, with a DF2000 successor due in the fourth quarter of 2026. # 1. Top Stories - **Beijing binds telecom, cyber, investment, and data flow authority into a 2030 internet infrastructure directive** — The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), which sets telecom and industrial policy, issued Guiding Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Development of Internet Infrastructure Resources on July 13 alongside three co-signing bodies. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) sets content and data security rules, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) plans state investment, and the National Data Administration (NDA), created in 2023, coordinates data flow policy. The document sets a 2030 target of 'systematic breakthroughs' with original technology and leading standards, and a 2035 target of becoming a global leader in internet infrastructure. Named breakthrough goals include satellite internet mega-constellation networking, in-country root DNS mirror servers, expanded '.CN' domain resolution nodes, and unified 'agentic internet' communication protocols. [ITHome](https://www.ithome.com/0/976/024.htm) - **Doubao and Qwen pull companion AI agent features ahead of July 15 anthropomorphic AI rule** — ByteDance's Doubao and Alibaba's Qwen, two of China's largest consumer AI chatbots, said on July 4 they will take their user-created AI agent features, the persona bots many users built as virtual companions, offline on July 15. That is the effective date of Beijing's Interim Provisions on the Administration of AI Anthropomorphic Interaction Services, China's first dedicated rule on persistent emotional interaction services. Chinese users call the product class an 'AI companion' or 'AI lover.' The rule bars virtual intimate relationship services to minors, 'excessive catering,' and inducing emotional dependence. NetEase Cloud Music's Miaoshi companion app will shut down entirely on July 14, one day before the rule takes effect. [36Kr](https://www.36kr.com/p/3893685147302400) - **Dongfang Suanxin launches DF1000 near-memory 3D AI chip on a fully domestic supply chain** — Shanghai startup Dongfang Suanxin (Eastern Computing Core) launched its DF1000 flagship AI chip on July 13, calling it the world's first software-defined near-memory computing 3D chip. The design stacks memory and logic vertically and reconfigures its datapath in software at runtime, targeting high-end AI compute without leading-edge fabrication. The company reports 520 TFLOPS at BF16, roughly 520 trillion AI operations per second at 16-bit precision, alongside 6.4 TB/s of memory bandwidth and 900 GB/s of scale-up interconnect. Chief Executive Wei Shaojun told Securities Times the chip is built on a fully domestic supply chain, and a DF2000 successor is due in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The release follows a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) advisory this month labeling Anthropic's Claude Code a security backdoor risk. That warning, issued through MIIT's National Vulnerability Database (NVDB), said the coding agent can collect sensitive information without user awareness. Ant reports the 9-billion-parameter version reaches 91.29% F1, a standard accuracy score that penalizes false positives and false negatives, on a cross-dataset generalization benchmark.

The company will showcase Guanlan, its in-house large model system, spanning foundation models, vertical models, and industry applications. Hikvision reports it has released over 1,000 large model hardware and software products to date across cloud data centers, edge servers, and endpoint cameras. At WAIC, Hikvision will launch a multimodal smart camera, an active-vision production-safety monitoring gimbal, and a standard operating procedure (SOP) training and inference appliance.

Robotics & Autonomous Systems - **ByteDance explores autonomous driving inside its Seed foundation model division** — ByteDance is exploring entry into autonomous driving, with the project in early preparation inside Seed, its foundation model division, per multiple Chinese outlets. Zhou Chang's world model team leads the work; world models are AI systems that build an internal representation of how the physical environment evolves over time, increasingly common in driving stacks. Yicai reports ByteDance is targeting unmanned logistics as its first scenario, with the business slated for Volcano Engine, ByteDance's cloud brand. Asked to confirm, ByteDance said its 'frontier exploration in large models, including physical AI, involves much early-stage research' but 'no plans to pursue an intelligent driving business.'

Embodied intelligence, in Chinese AI usage, pairs an AI system with a physical body such as arms, grippers, and sensors, so the system acts on the world rather than only reasoning about it. Yuanlo says the robot runs continuously for more than three hours, executing over 40 operational skills including nucleic acid extraction preprocessing and cytotoxicity testing at what the company calls sub-millimeter precision. Powering the setup is Yuanlo's proprietary Object-centric Physics Native Model, which the company says fuses vision, force, and tactile feedback to adjust actions in real time.

Quantum & Frontier Science - **Nankai team publishes bionic auditory neural interface in Nature Materials** — A Nankai University team led by Professor Xu Wentao has published what it calls the world's first bionic auditory neural interface in Nature Materials. Standard cochlear implants convert sound to electrical signals but rely on the patient's remaining auditory nerves to carry those signals to the brain. The Nankai device replaces that last-mile function in a single platform combining sound acquisition, neuromorphic encoding (signal patterns that mimic how neurons fire), semantic processing, and bioelectric output. In animal trials the team reports deafened rabbits implanted with the interface recognized voice commands and completed tasks the paper calls 'typing' and 'ball-kicking.'

Digital Infrastructure - **GalaxySpace commissions Hefei satellite communication payload line built for 50 to 100 satellites a year** — GalaxySpace, one of China's private low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite makers, said its Hefei Payload Center has rolled off its first communication satellite payload, formally commissioning the production line. A communication payload is the on-satellite hardware that handles the radio links between the satellite and ground gateways or users. At Phase 1 full capacity the Hefei line can produce communication payloads for 50 to 100 satellites per year, the volume a mega-constellation program needs to sustain regular launches. GalaxySpace says it has developed China's first Q/V-band communication payload and telemetry, tracking and command system, with 46 self-developed satellites launched as of June 9.
