法院要求派拉蒙暂停 1100 亿美元收购华纳兄弟
据路透社报道，美国联邦法官周一裁定，派拉蒙天舞对华纳兄弟探索的 1100 亿美元收购必须暂停至 8 月 3 日。加利福尼亚州与纽约、科罗拉多等 11 个州于 7 月 13 日起诉，认为合并会削弱电影和电视市场竞争。
法官认为，各州已经有力证明交易可能违法；如果先完成合并，裁员、分享商业敏感信息等改变很难事后撤销。各州称，合并后公司可能占广泛发行电影市场约 27%。
法院将于 8 月 3 日再审理是否在整个诉讼期间延续暂停。按交易协议，如果交割延迟到 9 月 30 日之后，派拉蒙 CEO 大卫·埃里森每个日历日需向华纳兄弟股东支付每股 0.25 美元，合计约 700 万美元。

Data methodology: Funding data on this page is compiled from publicly available sources — company press releases, regulatory filings, and media reports — and fact-checked by Tony Peng with the assistance of AI. Where a round appears in both a company disclosure and press report, company disclosure takes precedence. All figures may be approximate.

The essential tracker for China's AI ecosystem
One place to follow every major model release, funding round, product launch, and breakthrough from China's AI ecosystem.
Tony Peng
AI observer · Journalist · Communications professional
China AI Index is a research project built and maintained by Tony Peng — a long-time observer of the AI industry with a background in journalism and communications — with the assistance of AI (Claude Code, Qoder, and Z Code). Tony is also the writer behind Recode China AI, a newsletter tracking the latest advances and news stories in intelligent technologies.
It exists to give English-speaking researchers, investors, journalists, and developers a structured reference for China's AI ecosystem — most authoritative information is published in Chinese, and this site translates and synthesizes it.
What we track
Models
Every major LLM, reasoning model, vision model, and generative AI model from Chinese labs — with benchmark scores, context windows, and live API pricing so you can compare apples to apples.
Financing
Full funding histories for private companies (ByteDance, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot…) and market data for public ones (Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Kuaishou). Valuations, investors, round sizes.
Newsfeed
News covering model launches, research breakthroughs, product announcements, and strategic moves — presented in a clean timeline with company tags and category filters.
People
Key founders, CEOs, CTOs, and researchers behind China's AI labs — with titles, Chinese names, and links to their social profiles so you know the faces shaping the industry.
Members
Regulation
A timeline of China's AI rules — generative AI measures, algorithm filing requirements, model approval lists, data law touchpoints, and provincial subsidy programs. Click any entry for the original text.
Members
Chips
Domestic AI accelerators, training clusters, and memory chips — specs, interconnect bandwidth, process nodes, and deployment status for China's emerging chip ecosystem.
Data Disclaimer
All pricing, benchmark scores, funding amounts, and valuations are sourced from public company announcements, tech media reporting, and developer documentation. They are provided for informational purposes only and may be approximate or subject to change.
Stock prices shown are approximate historical ranges — not real-time quotes. Always verify with a live financial data source before making investment decisions. Benchmark scores reflect results at the time of model release and may not account for subsequent updates.
This database is independently maintained and has no affiliation with any of the companies listed. Information is updated manually on a best-effort basis.

Four documents released together, the start of a general-plus-sector series. The General Principles apply across all industries; the other three give sector-specific security practice guidance for education, health, and broadcasting/online audiovisual. Drafting units include CESI, the NRTA research academy, NHC and MOE information centers.
