- The briefing described technology adoption across the commerce chain.
- The smart-glasses figure covers sales on key platforms rather than the entire market.
Commerce policy explained
China's commerce ministry outlined plans to apply new technologies across trade and consumer services at an October 19 State Council Information Office briefing, according to an original report published that evening by IT Home.
Assistant Commerce Minister Yuan Xiaoming described the technology-led commerce guidance as spanning product development and manufacturing, wholesale and logistics, e-commerce and consumption. The report identifies artificial intelligence, the internet of things and blockchain as technologies being used in consumption.
Platforms and services
Yuan said ministry commerce data showed smart-glasses sales on key platforms grew by 1.1 times during January through September. The report does not specify a comparison baseline for that figure or establish a measure of the whole smart-glasses market.
The policy explanation also covers commercial agents and digital upgrades to household services, medical care, elder care and childcare. Measures include flexible manufacturing and production on demand. These are policy directions described at the briefing, rather than evidence that individual services have already achieved nationwide deployment.
