  "summary": "China has set a goal to expand its intelligent computing capacity to drive artificial intelligence over the next five years. This goal calls for a more than fourfold increase in capacity from what was in place at the end of June this year.\n\nThe target is set for 2030. China faces a challenge in achieving this goal due to restrictions imposed by the United States.\n\nAccording to SCMP Business, SCMP Tech, and South China Morning Post, China will need to rely on innovation, adaptation, and application to overcome these restrictions on importing advanced Western-made AI chips.",
