China's computing capacity has reached 3.1 million PFLOPS, ranking second globally, as a technical committee formed five standards groups and two agencies set a 2028 AI target for natural-resources work.

The National Data Standardization Technical Committee formed one group to draft embodied-AI data standards and four groups focused on sector applications: meteorology, health care, power and commerce. The work is part of data-standard development during China's 15th Five-Year Plan.

Separately, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission published an implementation opinion setting a 2028 goal for demonstration applications of AI in natural-resources fields. It calls for high-quality data sets, large models and AI agents focused on spatiotemporal geographic information; territorial spatial planning and governance; marine; geology and minerals; and forestry and grasslands.
