As chairman and general manager of China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd. (China Mobile)’s Chongqing Branch, Xia pays close attention to the advancements in artificial intelligence and its industry prospects.
“DeepSeek’s algorithmic breakthroughs significantly enhance computing efficiency, lower AI adoption barriers, and offer superior reasoning capabilities,” Xia explained. This cost-effectiveness will drive AI innovation across industries and households, making “inclusive AI” a reality.
According to Xia, DeepSeek marks a new phase in AI-driven innovation. On one hand, AI-powered smart devices, intelligent connected vehicles and robots are becoming the new trend of digital consumption, covering human, automotive and home scenarios. On the other hand, AI is being deeply integrated into research and development, production, marketing, operations and management, taking new energy into traditional industries.
China Mobile’s Chongqing Branch is currently accelerating the development of its “AI+DICT” (Data, Information, Communication, and Technology) service capabilities, integrating AI with digital infrastructure. The company supports private DeepSeek deployments for industry applications and has helped the Rongchang District Public Security Bureau cut police analysis time from three days to just 15 minutes. Similar AI applications are expanding across universities and banks.
“As ‘Digital Chongqing’ enters its AI-driven 2.0 era, China Mobile’s Chongqing Branch is leveraging its robust computing power to support AI applications,” said Xia.
As one of China’s national central cities, Chongqing’s smart governance practices serve as a valuable model. With vast amounts of accumulated urban governance data, the integration of AI models and computing resources is expected to further enhance the city’s management efficiency.
“We will actively participate in Chongqing’s Three-Year Action Plan for AI-Powered Mega City Governance,” Xia revealed. Moving forward, the company aims to develop an AI-powered urban governance model with predictive, decision-making and automation capabilities.
“Moving forward, we will focus on enhancing AI service capabilities, including infrastructure for trusted computing, model deployment, data integration and industry-specific AI fine-tuning,” Xia stated. The company plans to increase resource investment, strengthen ecosystem collaboration, and fully support Chongqing’s integration of digital and intelligent technologies.
At this year’s NPC session, Xia proposed establishing a next-generation energy computing hub and a low-altitude economy test site to boost AI-driven industrial development in Chongqing.
