Jiaxing SOE Launches Token Operations Center as Local Government Capital Steps Into AI Distribution

On July 30, the Yangtze River Delta (Jiaxing) Token Operations Center officially opened, with Jiaxing City Urban Investment and Development Group serving as the operator. The center uses a “five unified” model — one API gateway, one Token meter, one settlement system, one policy rebate mechanism, and one security audit process — to give businesses access to more than 100 major models, including DeepSeek and Qwen. The article frames Jiaxing’s move as part of a broader shift in China, where local government-backed firms, telecom operators, cloud vendors, and model companies are all moving into Token sales. It also cites Jiaxing’s data-center base, industrial footprint, and a local design platform that has used standardized Token services to shorten product development cycles. The piece argues that Token is becoming a utility-like layer, while the real premium sits in applications and workflow integration.
