China is making advanced AI a public good over the past year. Hugging Face's 2026 report shows that open-source models developed in China account for 41% of the platform's monthly and total downloads, overtaking the United States (roughly 35-36.5%). 

By opening its best models to the world, China is lowering the cost of cutting-edge technology and letting more countries join the AI revolution. CGTN reporter Liu Jiaxin finds that growing the AI pie is one of China's contributions to global AI governance.
