Apple Support in China has published detailed instructions on how local Mac users can utilize Alibaba’s Qwen AI with Siri, but the guide was quickly removed.
Mac users in mainland China still don’t have Apple Intelligence, but they briefly got an Apple guide to it.

Back in March 2026, Apple Intelligence was finally launched and available in China, except it wasn’t. Apple had released it seemingly accidentally, and certainly without approval from the Chinese government, so it was rapidly pulled.
Now Apple has done a similar thing with a support document. As first noted by Reuters, Apple Support in China published a guide for Mac users on connecting Qwen to get Writing Tools and Siri working with it. There was no equivalent guide for the iPhone or iPad.
