Deployment Intelligence

Sourced records of Chinese AI deployments across the Global South and the Middle East

Each record carries country, segment, entry mode, local partner and verbatim scale wording, with a public source link wherever one exists. Check the original source before citing it in a business case, due-diligence answer or board briefing.

How to read these numbers: A purposive, publicly sourced case library, not a probability sample: counts describe the library, not market share. Monetary figures mix investment, revenue and user metrics — treat them as magnitude markers and defer to the verbatim description and source link.

In December 2020, 335 Huawei facial-recognition cameras went live under the Naypyitaw 'Safe City' project, covering 8 townships; the AI system is capable of recognizing faces and license plates, at a cost of over 4 billion kyats (approximately US$2.9 million). Mandalay subsequently signed a similar project agreement with Huawei (2 billion kyats, covering 3 townships). The equipment was mainly manufactured by Huawei, while local companies handled construction of the control center and installation.
