China is building the machine that manufactures intelligence.
Inside China’s Machine (ICM) goes deep into China’s AI, robotics, and semiconductor industries, connecting technical understanding to business realities and capital judgment.
What we cover
AI. The model companies, systems and applications competing to supply intelligence. We examine technical progress, training and inference, open-weight and proprietary strategies, distribution, customer demand and the business models that turn usage into revenue.
Robotics. The machines bringing intelligence into the world. We examine humanoids, industrial and service robots, components, autonomy, manufacturing and deployment, asking which capabilities can become reliable products and durable businesses.
Semiconductors. The technologies and supply chains that make computation possible. We follow chip design, memory, fabrication, packaging, equipment, materials and software ecosystems, examining who can build, scale and sell what the market needs.
Policy, financing and procurement run through all three. They shape which companies can compete, how industries develop and where capital is committed.
Who it is for
Investors and strategy professionals following China’s AI, robotics and semiconductor industries, and engineers and operators who want to understand the commercial consequences of technical change.
The aim is to help readers form a better judgment: what is being built, which advantages may endure, where value may accrue, and which assumptions deserve another look.
