Frost & Sullivan officially introduced the CLI China Leading Index research system and released the first phase of its research reports. These reports focus on China’s digital technology, ICT basic industries, and intelligent examination preparation systems for junior and senior high school entrance examinations, establishing a hierarchical and quantifiable industrial evaluation system. As China’s economy moves toward high-quality development, industrial competition has evolved into a comprehensive contest involving technology, industrial chain, ecosystem, and operations, making traditional single-dimension evaluation methods insufficient.
The report indicates that China’s digital economy continues to grow, with key indicators such as 5G base stations, intelligent computing power, and AI unicorns ranking among the world’s top levels. However, there are still technical gaps in high-end chips, basic software, and advanced manufacturing processes, along with significant supply chain security challenges. Industry competition has entered a new stage characterized by full-stack integration, ecosystem development, and security control. Huawei serves as a leading industrial benchmark, demonstrating a replicable development model through its comprehensive industrial chain layout, substantial R&D investment, independent technological capabilities, and ecological empowerment.
In the field of digital education, AI-driven intelligent examination preparation systems address the challenges of traditional education and training, creating an integrated intelligent learning cycle that includes assessment, study, practice, evaluation, and management. Imagination Education, as a product-level benchmark, utilizes AI technology, teaching resources, and personalized services to scale up high-quality educational resources.
The CLI index establishes an evaluation framework at industrial, sector, and product levels, combining quantitative data and expert assessments to identify industry benchmarks and best practices. It provides objective insights for industrial policies, corporate strategies, and capital markets, helping various industries in China achieve sustainable and high-quality development.
Frost & Sullivan officially launched the China Leading Index (CLI) research system and released the first phase of its research reports. These reports focus on China’s digital technology, ICT basic industries, and intelligent examination preparation systems for junior and senior high school entrance examinations, establishing a hierarchical and quantifiable industrial evaluation system. As China’s economy shifts toward high-quality development, industrial competition has evolved into an all-round contest covering technology, industrial chain, ecosystem and operation, making traditional single-dimension evaluation methods inadequate.
The report shows that China’s digital economy keeps expanding, with key indicators such as 5G base stations, intelligent computing power and AI unicorns ranking among the world’s top tiers. Nevertheless, the industry still faces technical bottlenecks in high-end chips, basic software and advanced manufacturing processes, alongside prominent supply chain security risks. Competition has entered a new era featuring full-stack layout, ecosystem building and security controllability. Taking Huawei as a leading industrial benchmark, the company has set a replicable development model with its comprehensive industrial chain layout, heavy investment in R&D, independent technological capabilities and ecological empowerment.
In the field of digital education, AI-powered intelligent examination preparation systems address the pain points of traditional education and training, and build an integrated intelligent learning loop covering assessment, study, practice, evaluation and management. As a benchmark product enterprise, Imagination Education scales high-quality educational resources through AI technology, teaching research and accompanying services.
Classified into industrial, sector and product levels, the CLI adopts quantitative data and expert review to identify industrial benchmarks and best practices. It provides objective reference for industrial policies, corporate strategies and capital markets, and facilitates the sustainable and high-quality development of various industries in China.
