CHINASOFT INT'L(354)
Analysis¡G
In 2025, China Software deeply advanced its ¡§One Body, Two Wings¡¨ strategic layout, with AI as the core and Physical AI and Digital AI as the two wings. The company focused on two major core growth engines ¡X AI HarmonyOS and the AI Intelligent Business Operating System ¡X and built full-stack product and service capabilities spanning intelligent perception in the physical world to intelligent enterprise operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue from full-stack, full-scenario AI products and services reached RMB 2 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 109.2%. This marks the company¡¦s successful transition into a new role as an architect and integrator of enterprise Agentic AI, laying a solid foundation for the development of new quality productive forces and long-term high-quality growth.
As the Physical AI component of the ¡§One Body, Two Wings¡¨ strategy, the AI HarmonyOS business is positioned as the foundation for bringing enterprise AI into the physical world, aiming to provide high-quality data support for AI platforms. Leveraging the dual advantages of Kaihong OS and the Meta platform, the company adheres to a hardware-software integrated development strategy and has deeply participated in the large-scale implementation of Harmony cities. Through the establishment of a City Partnership mechanism, the company has created a new paradigm for smart city construction in core cities such as Xi¡¦an, Shenzhen, and Beijing, building a closed-loop ecosystem covering technology adaptation, product certification, and market application.

Notably in Xi¡¦an, the adaptation center led by the company has become a national benchmark, attracting a large number of ecosystem partners and forming a significant industrial cluster effect. This fully demonstrates the company¡¦s leading position in the OpenHarmony ecosystem.
At the other end of the ¡§Two Wings,¡¨ the AI-native Enterprise Intelligent Operating System serves as a key entry point into central state-owned enterprises, shouldering the strategic mission of securing the entrance to enterprise Agentic AI. After five years of continuous investment, the company successfully launched the allmeta Enterprise Intelligent Business Operating System, achieving a paradigm shift from traditional recording systems to an Intelligent Business Operating System (EOS). Designed with AI as the core principle, allmeta deeply integrates cognitive frameworks with execution neural networks to realize the digital twin of physical world business operations. Through a three-layer product architecture ¡X ¡§Data Foundation, Cognitive Hub, and Execution Network¡¨ ¡X it constructs actionable business entities, significantly reducing the latency from insight to action and empowering enterprises with self-evolving capabilities.
In the face of industry transformation, the company has fully embraced AI Coding and intelligent development tools, promoted the transformation of its workforce structure toward AI talent, and built large-scale, standardized ¡§Digital OpenClaw Factory.¡¨ In terms of ecosystem development, on the southbound (device) side, the company has engaged in deep cooperation with domestic chip manufacturers such as Loongson and ESWIN Computing to build a dual open-source, self-controlled ecosystem of ¡§OpenHarmony + Domestic Chips,¡¨ becoming the core connector for southbound device access to HarmonyOS. On the northbound ecosystem, the company focuses on the large-scale implementation of HarmonyOS native applications and meta-services, successfully supporting the completion of HarmonyOS adaptation and development for over 1,200 applications, and independently developed the Hongyun Virtual Machine to solve the compatibility challenges of Windows applications.(I do not hold the above stock.)
