A gathering on Sunday, themed "Welcome the New Year", brought together the majority of the Chinese Enterprises Association members at the Q Bay Center in San Jose, a multifunctional platform funded by Hangzhou, Zhejiang investment. Zhang Jianmin, China's consul general in San Francisco, said at the event that the Year of Snake offers an opportunity to "solve problems", adding that he sought the answer using DeepSeek, China's artificial intelligence app that was released in January. "Zhejiang recently has been a world focal point due to its technology breakthroughs, particular the debut of DeepSeek and Yushu Technology, aka Unitree Robotics; both are based in Hangzhou," said Zhang Dan, who is in charge of the Q Bay Center's operations.
