Today: the five AI headlines of the day → and the AI Wiki
What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

MWITA-CC-2026-015 · Evidence A · P1

China's 2025 official communiqué reported physical-goods online retail at 13.09 trillion yuan, 26.1% of consumer-goods retail; per-capita services consumption was 46.1% of consumption expenditure.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

Retail and household-expenditure systems use different denominators; nominal growth and administrative revisions do not show incrementality or platform-specific causality.

What would change the reading

Update with NBS revisions, household microdata and platform-independent channel attribution.
