CHINA - Global AI Education

The country’s Smart Education of China platform has become the world’s largest high-quality educational resource center, with total visits exceeding 72.6 billion, the Ministry of Education said recently.

Covering the entire educational process from preschool to postgraduate studies and encompassing moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education, the platform now serves more than 178 million users in over 200 countries and regions. Daily visits average about 52 million, Yang said at a recent news conference held by the ministry.

According to a global digital education development index report, China’s overall ranking rose from 24th in 2023 and ninth in 2024 to sixth in 2025, placing it among the world’s leading countries in digital education development.

With comprehensive digital empowerment, Chinese education will become fairer, higher in quality, more dynamic and more sustainable.

Commentary: Numbers do not lie; as the article states, China was in 24th place in 2023, and rose to 6th in 2025 in digital education development.

What we are seeing here is the giant of the East is growing into a developed economy—in this case, with AI technology.

This is another step toward global equality among the nations. China and other East Asian countries are well on their way to challenging the West.

We are reminded of Daniel 2 and Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of a terrible image: “This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass” (verse 32). The image reveals human history with five elements of composition—gold, silver, brass, iron, and clay—representing the world’s five continents: Europe, Africa, Asia, America, and Australia. What will be the end thereof? “Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure” (v. 45).
