      • Power is 'up for grabs': Behind China's plan to shape the future of next-generation tech
        PUBLISHED SUN, APR 26 20208:57 EDT
        Arjun Kharpal
        China is set to release a new plan this year called "China Standards 2035" with the aim of influencing how the next-generation of technologies, from telecommunications to artificial intelligence, will work.
        Standards will define how some technologies work and their interoperability around the world.
        Experts described standards as something that can "shape the playing field and landscape for the future of these technologies."
        But China will have challenges dislodging the dominance of Europe and the U.S., experts said

        Within that section, there is a focus on developing standards for the so-called Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, 5G and artificial intelligence (AI). These are all seen a crucial future technologies that could underpin critical infrastructure in the world.
        The document also outlines the need to "participate in the formulation of international standards" and that China should put forward more proposals for international standards.

        China is set to release an ambitious 15-year blueprint that will lay out its plans to set the global standards for the next-generation of technologies.
        The move could have wide-ranging implications for the power Beijing wields on the global stage in areas from artificial intelligence, to telecommunications networks and the flow of data, experts told CNBC.
