MOFCOM told a State Council press briefing it held nearly 100 "Export to China" events over the past year to open channels for foreign exporters into the Chinese market.

Vice Minister Yan Dong said the UK, Spain, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Thailand were named annual theme countries and tied into CIIE global promotion to match overseas exporters with domestic buyers; MOFCOM also ran targeted matchmaking sessions and roadshows in Egypt, Germany and the UK and coordinated these efforts with "Invest in China" and "Buy in China" initiatives.

據404 Media北京時間10月16日報道，諮詢巨頭埃森哲已調整內部Claude Enterprise使用政策，自10月1日起，公司爲每名適用員工集中承擔的AI使用費用僅爲每月29美元，超額部分須由具體項目或團隊預算支付。404 Media獲得的內部通知顯示，Claude費用按實際用量計算，員工的使用權限也將根據業務需求和使用情況定期審查。部分員工此前每月使用Claude的費用高達500至1000美元，已有員工反映新政策將顯著增加項目成本，還有員工稱其Claude訪問權限已被撤銷。埃森哲迴應稱，公司仍向員工提供AI工具，並將根據具體工作需求配置資源。這一調整可見企業大規模部署生成式AI後，持續增長的Token消耗正成爲成本管理難題。
