Market Access: The Filing
Foreign models generally cannot be accessed directly in China. Domestic models require a "Security Assessment" and filing with the CAC before public release.
- Algorithm Registry (Internet Information Service)
- Training Data Legality Check
- Real-name verification of users
Registered Algorithms
The CAC maintains a public database of algorithms, creating a unique transparency regime enforced by the state.
