On July 30, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a meeting, making it clear that efforts should be made to accelerate the building of a modern industrial system, strengthen long-term and stable support for basic research, further implement the "AI Plus" initiative, foster new forms of the intelligent economy, and improve the AI governance system.

　　Active moves were also urged to achieve breakthroughs in frontier technologies and advance the development of future industries, with a focus on building emerging pillar industries and continuously promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the meeting said.

　　The China Embodied Intelligence Industry Development Report (2026) revealed that China's embodied intelligence market has grown from approximately 213.3 billion yuan (about 31.4 billion U.S. dollars) in 2018 to an estimated 1.09 trillion yuan in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 22 percent to 23 percent.

　　China has the world's richest application scenarios and massive real-world data sources, providing a large-scale testing ground for the deployment, iteration and implementation of embodied intelligence, said Wei Kai, an AI expert with the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
