Apple Support in China released a guide for Mac users to link Alibaba’s Qwen AI to Siri, but it was removed quickly. The guide appeared after Apple Intelligence was launched in March 2026, though the service had not yet been approved by Chinese authorities.

The article notes that Apple had accidentally released Apple Intelligence in China, leading to a rapid pull‑back. The support document mirrored that mistake, offering writing‑tool and Siri integration for Macs only, with no iPhone or iPad counterpart.

Reuters reported that Apple Support said it had not been notified about the feature integration and that Apple Intelligence is still pending official registration for iPhones in China. Apple remains partnered with Alibaba and Baidu under China’s strict AI regulations.

The Mac guide is now gone, and local Chinese sites confirm its removal. Apple’s stance is that the Qwen integration is not yet available in mainland China, and further steps remain before users can access Apple Intelligence.
