Our mission
Inside China AI provides factual, in-depth coverage of artificial intelligence from China — the companies, models, platforms, regulation — and, increasingly, the machines. As China’s AI moves into bodies (humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles — Physical AI), we cover the robot makers with the same depth as the model labs. And the people behind them. We contextualize rather than dramatize. Our perspective is European. Our standard is fairness.
We believe Europe needs better information about China’s AI ecosystem. Not as a threat narrative, not as uncritical tech admiration — but as sober, contextualized reporting that enables readers to form their own views.
Our Principles
Neutrality
We are neither a mouthpiece for Chinese tech PR nor a geopolitical alarm system. We examine AI companies and their products with the same analytical lens we’d apply to firms from Silicon Valley or Europe.
Transparency
We cite our sources and make clear when information is based on manufacturer claims that we cannot independently verify. We contextualize benchmark results critically. Our editorial standards are publicly documented.
European Perspective
Our starting point is Europe. For every topic, we ask: What does this mean for developers, companies, investors, and decision-makers here? In doing so, we avoid Eurocentric arrogance as much as uncritical adoption of external narratives.
Accessibility
We write for decision-makers and curious readers alike — clear language, real context, and no unnecessary jargon. Complex developments explained so they can inform real decisions.
What we publish
We publish three times a week in clearly defined formats:
Sundays — Weekly Briefing
The most important China AI news from the past week. Compact, contextualized, to the point.
Wednesdays — Deep Dive
In-depth analyses of companies, technologies, or market trends. From company profiles to policy strategies.
Fridays — Briefing
Shorter analyses on regulation, Europe–China intersections, and specific technology questions.
