China Unicom hosted a forum to showcase its latest push to empower new industrialization through AI at the ongoing 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai.
China Unicom Chairman Dong Xin outlined the telecom giant's threefold role: supplier of computing-network infrastructure, practitioner of application scenarios, and builder of industrial ecosystems.
According to Dong, China Unicom is advancing a new "Agent+Token+AI Cloud" model under its "six networks" strategy, strengthening next-generation communication and computing networks.
In Shanghai, it has deployed 5G private networks into manufacturing sites and operates the Lingang 10,000-card-level intelligent computing center to support industrial token creation, transmission, storage, and application.
