Dawn of a new era for China's IP industry

People walk past a poster of Ne Zha 2 on Wednesday at a cinema in Sydney, Australia. The global release of Deep-Seek, an advanced artificial model designed for complex reasoning and natural language processing, complete with its Chinese large language model, and the success of the animation film Ne Zha 2 have triggered discussions on China's burgeoning intellectual property industry. Simultaneously, Ne Zha 2, along with the release of the much-anticipated video game Black Myth: Wukong last year, demonstrates China's growing capacity for creating compelling narratives and characters rooted in the country's culture. China's massive domestic market, with its almost 1 billion well-off mobile phone users, has fueled the growth of the mobile phone manufacturing industry and its associated app ecosystem. By combining China's manufacturing prowess and rapidly advancing AI capabilities with Japan's expertise in robotics and eldercare, the two countries can address their demographic challenges while simultaneously driving innovation and economic growth.
