Foreign media: China is accelerating the development of brain-computer interface industry through national power, aiming to catch up in the cutting-edge technology field dominated by Elon Musk's "brain chip".
Recently, multiple national-level initiatives have been rolled out intensively. People's Insurance Company of China has launched the country's first commercial insurance covering brain-computer interface implantation surgery, in collaboration with the Hangzhou Hospital Affiliated to the School of Medicine, Zhejiang University. Brain-computer interface technology requires craniotomy to implant electrodes into specific brain regions, enabling patients to control digital devices simply through thought.
Hangzhou, China, as a major technological hub, has gathered leading enterprises such as DeepSeek and Yushu Technology, rapidly becoming a core hub for this industry.
