CNBC: How China is getting everyone on OpenClaw, from gearheads to grandmas
China leads global adoption of OpenClaw AI agents with major firms launching platforms and local governments offering subsidies, despite official cybersecurity warnings.
- On Tuesday, Baidu, Chinese internet giant, unveiled a suite of OpenClaw-based AI products spanning desktop, cloud, mobile, and smart-home tools, while Alibaba, Chinese tech conglomerate, launched Wukong as an invitation-only beta tied to DingTalk with more than 20 million users.
- Industry competition and Beijing's 2030 AI blueprint have driven Chinese tech firms to accelerate OpenClaw development, supported by local governments offering subsidies to promote AI across 90% of industries by 2030.
- Public enthusiasm showed as public install events in Beijing and Shenzhen drew crowds of around 1,000, while Shen Dou, Baidu Executive Vice-President, said 'It could become an operating-system-level capability for a new era, unlocking almost all hardware and breaking down the barriers between devices'.
- Authorities have cautioned that China's National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team issued an advisory on Mar 10 warning that improper OpenClaw use risks cybersecurity, while the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology urged government agencies, state-owned enterprises and major banks to curb installations.
- Users report that OpenClaw enables nonstop automation as Wang Xiaoyan said, 'Human employees need rest, but OpenClaw can run 24/7', while SecurityScorecard finds China leads U.S. adoption.
