Dominance in a specialized field like that, I can buy. AI is important, but it's also under-delivering on the hype (though what it has delivered is impressive).
Who stated it is CCP goal for "AI dominance"? Western media? Sure everyone want to be at the top of the food chain, but calling it dominance is just pure scaremongering.

After a moment of Googling I found the answer, I don't think HN really benefits from presumptuous statements against a poster - presume good faith.

"Market-Dominance" is a current tenet of PRC AI strategy, or at least in the words of a document published by the PRC detailing the country's AI strategy.
Two hits: "Market-Dominant" and "the dominant role of the market in allocating resources". The second one is obviously about being dominated by the market, not dominating it... and the first one as well: "Follow the rules of the market, remain oriented toward application, ..." It's about investing in AI technologies that already have some success in the market rather than pie-in-the-sky projects without application potential.
Bonus: ctrl-f "dominate": "dominated by the market"
Second link:
Two hits, "give markets the decisive role in allocating resources, strengthen the dominant position of enterprises," and "Strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in the market". While that may sound like the government picking winners, within the context of market reform in China it actually refers to strengthening the position of enterprises as opposed to the government. Repeating this slogan ("强化企业主体地位") signals that the government does not intend to return to a command economy (where the government was in the "dominant position") even when it comes to funding strategic development projects.
Googling for policy documents and then ctrl-f'ing for keywords is a good first step, so props to you for doing your own research, but it doesn't help much if you lack the background knowledge to interpret what you find.
