English translation of the 2024 Chinese Government Work Report from the perspective of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence: A Smarter World

With China’s rising national strength and deepening global engagement, effective international communication has become increasingly vital. The Chinese Government Work Report, as an authoritative policy document, plays a crucial role in shaping China’s national image and facilitating international exchanges. Its translation is essential for global audiences to accurately understand China’s policies and strategic intentions. In the AI/IoT era, embedded intelligent systems support this dynamic translation process: Internet of Things (IoT) technologies supply real-time context (e.g. sensor data) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models provide high-precision language processing. Beyond basic translation, AI-powered IoT technologies contribute to nuanced expression adjustments, balancing technological neutrality with China’s governance discourse and integrating global perceptions. This paper examines the bilingual edition of the 2024 Chinese Government Work Report through the lens of Skopos Theory, analyzing how translation strategies can enhance the transmission of cultural and political messages while leveraging advancements in AI-driven embedded intelligent systems.
