At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai on Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping called on countries to uphold a people-centered approach and work together to build a fair and inclusive global AI governance system, stating that "China, as a responsible major country, is always committed to providing international public goods relating to AI." Xi announced measures including helping 30 countries utilize the MAZU meteorological system, providing 5,000 AI training opportunities for developing countries over the next five years, and establishing international AI application cooperation centers with ASEAN, the League of Arab States, the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. The MAZU system, deployed in multiple countries, is already helping Pakistan detect early warning signs for extreme weather events. Official data shows that China's open-source AI models have recently surpassed 10 billion cumulative downloads worldwide, with models like DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen gaining global attention. DeepSeek's pricing of $0.27 per million input tokens and $1.10 per million output tokens has reduced entry barriers by more than 90% compared with some mainstream Western AI models.
