Overview of AI Development in China
The 14th Five-Year Plan was adopted at the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress in March 2021. It explicitly supports Hong Kong in building an international innovation and technology center and better integrating into the overall national development, deepens the scientific and technological innovation cooperation relationship between the Mainland and Hong Kong, and for the first time incorporates the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Hetao into the major cooperation platform of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Obstacles to China’s AI Development
Restrictions on advanced computing chips from the United States for mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau are becoming increasingly stringent. Currently, the Invitrogen H800 servers, which the Hong Kong government has purchased and delivered in compliance with regulations for the Cyberport project, will no longer be sold into Hong Kong and mainland China after October 2023.
