  "summary": "China has set a goal to expand its intelligent computing capacity to drive artificial intelligence over the next five years. This goal aims 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. However, China faces a challenge due to restrictions imposed by the United States. These restrictions block China from importing the most advanced Western-made AI chips.\n\nTo overcome this hurdle, China will need to focus on innovation, adaptation, and the application of existing technologies.",
