China has introduced many related policies. For wxample, when OpenClaw was very populat, a district goverment in Shenzhen launched a support program of 2 million RMB for AI startups.

Furthermore, some Chinese telecom companies are now deploying data centers and issuing LLM model token plans.

This is something only China can accomplish. China's infrastructure is better than other countries, with vast power resources and cheap infrastructure costs, which are the reasons why Chinese model are cheaper than those in the US. In China, electricity costs approximately $0.2 per kWh, much cheaper than in the US.

However, this also raises many problems. Before AI becomes widespread, its price remains low, and the large-scale construction of data centers, coupled with a lack of immediate demand, could potentially lead to AI companies losing their entire investment.
