China AI

China AI surveys the country’s major AI platforms and how they reshape search and discovery — Baidu ERNIE, Alibaba Tongyi and Qwen, ByteDance, DeepSeek, and others. Rather than model-card trivia, we focus on productised AI search, generative answers, and recommendation shifts that marketers can observe in live products.

Coverage links AI product news to SEO and visibility: citations, answer engines, ecommerce assistants, and cross-platform discovery across search and super-apps. When a China AI launch changes what gets summarised or recommended, we spell out the marketing implication.

A market-level archive for international search teams who need China AI context without drowning in research-paper noise — International Search Insights editorial throughout.
