The signals are becoming increasingly evident! The world's top 500 German enterprises are moving closer to China, and the motivation behind this move is worth celebrating!

In the past, companies around the world relied on technology from the United States.

Nowadays, companies worldwide depend on technology from China.

Even Germany and Japan, these老牌industrial powerhouses, cannot be an exception. Recently, the "Nikkei Asian Review" reported that Alibaba's Qwen large-scale model has become a crucial foundation for AI development in Japan.

Japan has made efforts as well. At the beginning of the year, Japan's government invested 1 billion yen in developing an AI tool, but during the testing phase, its misjudgment rate was as high as 60%. Perhaps due to seeing the poor AI capabilities of their own country, many Japanese enterprises have turned their attention to China. For instance, a Japanese company named Axcxept, which specializes in AI product development, based on Alibaba's Qwen large-scale model, developed an open-source lightweight AI model called EZO.

Not only Japan, but German enterprises are also actively moving closer to Chinese tech companies.

On May 27th, there was news from Germany. The 50-year-old German giant SAP also chose to form a strategic partnership with Alibaba. SAP will integrate Qwen into its systems and deploy some core applications on Alibaba Cloud.

The reason why SAP, the老牌German giant, cooperates with Alibaba mainly lies in the strong stability and potential development of Alibaba Cloud. In the past, Alibaba Cloud has withstood the test of peak traffic, such as processing 700,000 orders per second during "Double Eleven," and supporting the 12306 system during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Globally, Alibaba Cloud has built 29 public cloud regions worldwide, covering more than 70 countries, with 87 availability zones and thousands of edge nodes, while no German cloud computing giant can achieve this.

Besides, there is AI capability. Alibaba's open-source large model capabilities are leading globally, which means that giants like SAP must find a powerful AI partner if they want to apply AI to enterprise management software, and Alibaba is the most suitable choice.

This also reflects that it is an inevitable trend for overseas enterprises to cooperate with Chinese tech companies. Working with Chinese enterprises offers a better future. In fact, China's technological hard power is not inferior to that of the U.S.!
