- SAMR official: no trading safety for launch speed in smart vehicles
Speaking at the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles conference on October 22, Li Changqing, a second-level inspector at the State Administration for Market Regulation's quality development bureau, said the intelligent connected vehicle industry must pursue innovation and safety priority together and must end the short-term practice of sacrificing safety for launch speed, IT Home reported. He said SAMR, jointly with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, carries out regular ICV safety management and inspects products that draw public attention and carry major quality-safety risks, alongside a crackdown on exaggerated and false advertising, a compliance guide on automotive pricing conduct and action against vicious price wars. Li disclosed that China has conducted more than 3,200 vehicle recalls involving over 120 million vehicles, and that from January to September 2026 there were 617 ICV recalls covering 20.39 million vehicles, of which 14.53 million, or 71.23%, were completed after defect investigations, administrative talks and on-site verification.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued an implementation plan for building a carbon-emissions dual-control system across industry and IT for 2026–2030, according to CCTV News as relayed by 36Kr. By 2030 the plan targets around 400 standards for carbon-footprint accounting of key industrial products, about 500 national-level zero-carbon factories and zero-carbon compute facilities, a 17%+ cut in CO2 emissions per unit of value-added for large industrial firms versus 2025, and a 10%+ drop in energy consumption per unit of value-added. TMTPost, citing an authorized piece by Yujian Energy, reports the plan names green-power direct connection and integrated source-grid-load-storage as guidance models for those zero-carbon factories and compute facilities, which it says is the first time direct green-power connection has entered the industrial carbon dual-control framework; the same article cites an official's figures that 24 provinces have approved over 400 direct-connection projects with fewer than 10% under construction.

At the opening of the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference in Beijing on 21 October, Vice Minister Xin Guobin said MIIT will support leading enterprises in forming innovation consortia around key areas including energy and powertrain, intelligent chassis and intelligent connectivity, and will carry out publicity and implementation of the mandatory national standard for automated driving while accelerating standards work on automated parking, operation monitoring and data security. He added that the ministry will prudently advance pilot programmes for intelligent connected vehicle market access and road use and speed up large-scale demonstrations of key automated-driving scenarios. Guo Shougang, director of MIIT's Equipment Industry Department I, said China has issued national standards covering combined driving assistance systems, automated driving systems, automatic emergency braking and whole-vehicle cybersecurity, and that by the end of August about 61 million passenger cars in China carried combined driving assistance, of which roughly 15 million had navigate-on-autopilot assistance.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Equipment Industry Department I released on Oct. 20 a draft standard on the installation of exterior lighting and light-signaling devices, which would bar vehicles without L3 or higher automated driving systems from being fitted with ADS marker lights, cnBeta reported. The draft assigns the lights a dedicated blue-green color, requires all ADS marker lights to switch on automatically and stay on while L3+ automation is active, bans manual switching, and prohibits lighting them at L2 or below. It also proposes banning text or projected displays from lamp surfaces apart from luminous emblem units and emoji-like faces, with a suggested effective date of Jan. 1, 2028 and transition periods of up to 49 months for certain clauses.

At a State Council Information Office press conference on October 20, 2026, MIIT spokesperson Xie Cun presented the first three quarters' figures for China's information and communications sector: 5.254 million 5G base stations built, 33.4 million gigabit 10G PON ports, and 10-gigabit optical network trials in residential, factory and campus settings. As of end-September 2026, China's intelligent computing capacity reached 2,592 EFLOPS, up 146% year on year, which MIIT said strongly supports the country's AI industry. The ministry also said it will lay out 6G technology innovation in advance, strengthen next-generation network standards, and push integration of communications with artificial intelligence.

At an October 19 State Council Information Office briefing on the Opinion on Accelerating Tech-Empowered Commerce, MOFCOM said expanding services consumption through technology is a key part of the document, which promotes applying AI and big data to services consumption. Market development director Meng Yue said the ministry encourages housekeeping companies to work with tech firms on smart housekeeping platforms with traceable service processes, supports smart elderly-care facilities using wearable devices and body-sensing monitoring for health tracking and emergency assistance, and encourages qualified localities to explore AI in health management and rehabilitation care. The briefing also cited MOFCOM big-data figures showing sales of smart glasses on key platforms rose 1.1-fold in January-September, while MIIT said China produced more than 400 humanoid robot models and over 40,000 units in the first half, expects full-year output above 100,000, and has pushed validation and deployment in over 300 scenarios including warehousing, food and retail, and home services.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formally released a catalog of "high-value scenarios for AI-enabled new industrialization" on October 15, covering more than 1,000 scenarios across 20 sub-sectors including petrochemicals, steel, automobiles and consumer electronics, and described as a reference "industry navigation map." The catalog was produced jointly by multiple research institutions and enterprises, and MIIT said it will treat manufacturing as the main battlefield and application-driven deployment as the main line. A follow-up report said MIIT has organized nearly 30 "deep dive" events connecting more than 5,000 enterprises, supported 18 national AI innovation and application pilot zones including Beijing and Jinan-Qingdao, pushed industry to draft nearly 200 key AI technology standards, and set up a 60 billion yuan national AI industry investment fund.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has been soliciting public comment on its seventh batch of 2026 industry-standard revision plans, which include projects on AI safety governance, security requirements for Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications, and classification and basic requirements for agent interfaces. The report argues that as agents plug into enterprise workflows, external tools and business data, AI safety governance is shifting from the model itself to interfaces, permissions and call chains, where missing boundaries amplify risks of data leakage, unauthorized calls and misoperation. It cites Tianyancha data saying China has more than 210,000 AI-security-related companies, with about 31,500 newly registered so far in 2026.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has launched an industrial data foundation initiative that aims, by the end of 2026, to cultivate industry data collaboratives, build trusted interconnection platforms for key sectors, aggregate industry data, draft industrial data standards and create high-quality, standardized, tradable industry datasets. The article argues that industrial AI adoption is shifting from model capability contests toward data resources and closed-loop deployment scenarios, because equipment, process, quality-inspection, energy, supply-chain and after-sales data remain scattered across separate systems and cannot be used directly to train industry models. Citing Tianyancha, it says about 460,000 industrial data service companies exist in China, with roughly 68,000 new registrations since the start of 2026, and names industrial software, data governance, edge computing, industrial knowledge graphs and industry-model providers as beneficiaries, while general-purpose model vendors lacking industry data and on-site delivery capability come under pressure.
