Guangzhou’s draft Artificial Intelligence Development Promotion Ordinance, scheduled for a third reading and vote in October 2026, targets core compute infrastructure and resource supply. The municipal development and reform commission will lead cross‑department planning with the government data office, industry and information technology bureau, and planning and resources authorities to set short-, medium- and long‑term stepped construction targets and a coordinated compute–power planning, construction and operation mechanism. The draft mandates strategic siting of supercomputing centers, city‑edge intelligent computing nodes and industry compute clusters, the creation of a unified citywide compute coordination and dispatch platform, and exploration of a market‑based compute trading mechanism to enable interconnection, elastic scheduling and shared use of heterogeneous compute resources. The policy seeks green, efficient, balanced allocation of compute and to provide broadly accessible compute services for AI development.

YONHAP reports Industry Minister Kim Jung-gwan said Seoul and Washington must resolve legacy issues in the $200bln portion of a $350bln investment package tied to bilateral tariff talks. Under last year’s deal Korea agreed to invest $350bln for the US to cut tariffs on Korean imports from 25% to 15%; $150bln is designated for shipbuilding cooperation and the remaining $200bln’s implementation is still under negotiation. Kim said officials had aimed to announce related projects in late August or early September, but working-level issues have surfaced as talks enter the final stage; both sides are still targeting that timetable. He added Korea continues to face ongoing US tariff pressure while multiple bilateral trade issues remain unresolved.
