China’s two largest tech companies are spending substantially in AI infrastructure, anticipating that domestically produced chips will alleviate their supply problems.

The companies are relying on chips made in China by Huawei Technologies and other local manufacturers to replace limited supplies of American semiconductors. Alibaba’s latest quarterly results showed a major shift in focus. For the three months ending in March 2026, the company reported very low profit.
