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.

Attribute Decree 147/2024 to the ITIF source, not Tech Policy Press. Confirmed by the cited source: Vietnam's MIC probed TikTok in 2023 and TikTok signed an admission of wrongdoing pledging corrective action; in January 2026 Vietnam's Competition Commission fined TikTok 880 million dong (US$33,800) for violating data consent rules. Downgrade the other listed violation specifics to 'per Bloomberg reporting (not independently verified in this round)'.
