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.
