Apple has published a guide allowing eligible Mac users in mainland China to connect Alibaba’s Qwen AI service with Siri and Writing Tools.

The integration will enable users to access more detailed Siri responses, analyze photos and documents, and generate text or images. It will be available on Macs running macOS 26.6 or later, with users required to activate the extension and sign in to a Qwen account.

The move gives Apple a locally compliant AI option as it competes with Lenovo and Huawei in China’s growing AI PC market.
