In a February 8, 2025 video discussing the Chinese artificial app DeepSeek, Chinese commentator Chen Ping presents a socialist vision for integrating artificial intelligence and big data into China’s socialist system to optimize resource distribution. He argues that rather than exporting surplus goods to subsidize American consumption, China should use its technological capabilities to redistribute these resources domestically. Ping stated that by prioritizing the development of rural areas and small and medium-sized cities, as well as reforming unsustainable urban lifestyles, China can enhance its national livelihood while addressing financial concerns such as inflation.
He further suggests that this AI-driven socialist model could have global implications. Through initiatives like the Belt and Road and the "Community of Shared Future for Mankind," China could share its experiences with other nations, offering an alternative approach to economic development. This framework, he believes, would allow both ordinary citizens and elites worldwide to voluntarily learn from China’s resource management strategies and socialist governance.
Chen Ping is a well-known online commentator primarily active on social media. In his early years, he studied in the Department of Physics at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and later received a government-sponsored opportunity to study abroad. He has served as a senior researcher at a Chinese research institute and has taught at prestigious universities such as Peking University and Fudan University. Chen Ping created several social media accounts, where he publishes international commentary videos, criticizing the cultural, political, and economic systems of the United States while praising certain aspects of China. His views are highly opinionated, drawing a substantial audience.
Chen Ping’s real-life activities have sparked controversy. It was discovered online that he resides in the United States and exposed his American villa on social media. Many Chinese and American viewers find this hypocritical.
Chen Ping: "I believe that artificial intelligence combined with big data can be utilized under the socialist system to issue various personalized vouchers to individuals based on big data distribution. The surplus of mass-produced materials and resources that are overproduced in one region may still be in short supply in another. Instead of selling to the United States and subsidizing American consumption, wouldn't it be better to adapt to China's domestic livelihood, develop new rural areas and small to medium-sized cities, and reform undesirable urban lifestyles? This would enable the effective utilization of national resources and prevent the inflation concerns that currently trouble the domestic financial sector. Such an approach would not only cater to the needs of people in different regions of China but could also be extended globally to benefit the working class in various parts of the world. Then China's Belt and Road Initiative and Community of Shared Future for Mankind can spread the successful experiences under China's socialist system, allowing people and elites from various countries to voluntarily learn from the Chinese model and Chinese wisdom."
