Director of the National Data Bureau: The average daily Token call volume in China has increased by more than a thousand times in two years, exceeding 140 trillion yuan

According to the Shanghai Securities News, Liu Liehong, director of the National Data Bureau, said at the 2026 annual meeting of the China Development Forum that the average daily Token call volume in China this year has exceeded 140 trillion yuan, an increase of more than a thousand times from the 100 billion two years at the beginning of 2024. Liu Liehong pointed out that Token is the smallest unit of information processing in a large model and has the characteristics of being measurable, priceable, and tradable. Focusing on the invocation, distribution and settlement of Token, a new value system is accelerating and becoming an important path for realizing the artificial intelligence industry. He also said that with the deepening of the market-oriented allocation reform of data elements in China, a virtuous cycle of "data supply-value release" has begun to emerge.
