CAC action plan ties chip support to data and algorithm controls

A major CAC action plan (through 2030) explicitly prioritizes AI, high-end chips, LLMs, agentic AI, and cybersecurity, emphasizing open-source participation, data protection, and preventing misuse. The plan signals a managed national AI supply chain, coupling growth with compliance. It reinforces China's strategy of state-directed AI development and affects multinationals operating in China.
