- Feng Qingyang began tinkering with OpenClaw in January, a new AI tool that can take over devices and autonomously complete tasks.
- Feng Qingyang started advertising OpenClaw installation support on a second‑hand shopping site within weeks of his experiments.
- Feng Qingyang’s business now employs over 100 staff and has completed 7,000 OpenClaw installations.
- Early adopters like Feng are making serious cash from China’s OpenClaw craze, prompting a cottage industry of installation services and pre‑configured hardware for non‑technical users.
- Chinese users with limited technical expertise are eager to adopt cutting‑edge AI such as OpenClaw, despite the tool’s huge security risks.
Why it matters: Service providers and hardware vendors profit from the booming OpenClaw market, while ordinary Chinese users gain convenient AI automation; however, the rapid spread of a tool that can hijack devices raises major security concerns for wider consumers and regulators alike.
