The problem
Taiping Subdistrict is a neighbourhood-level government office in Pulandian District, Dalian, in northeast China. Its staff draft documents, analyse policy, handle requests from residents and check data. The office wanted to raise the efficiency of this routine work while keeping sensitive information under its own control.
What they built
The office worked with Shanghai POP, an outside provider, on a local installation of DeepSeek, an openly released language model. It runs on local physical servers and a closed internal network, which the report says keeps important information from leaving the area or being passed on. Staff use it for drafting documents, summarising policy, sorting resident requests and checking data.
How they did it
Shanghai POP tailored the setup for the subdistrict. It also sent AI product designers from its head office to train the office's staff, with a theory session and a hands-on session. The training covered the system's basics, its main strengths, real government uses and tips for daily operation.
Results
According to the report, office efficiency rose by more than 40%. Response to resident requests became about 30% faster because the system gathers data from several channels and sorts the requests. Automatic verification can reduce the time spent on manual checks by 70%. The office plans to explore further uses, including local industry analysis and agriculture.
Lessons for your project
Choose local hosting when data is sensitive. The office kept information inside its own servers and closed network so it does not leave the site.
Pair the install with training. The vendor taught staff the basics, the main strengths and real government uses before daily use.
Start with routine tasks. The reported gains come from drafting documents, sorting requests and checking data.
Ask for the baseline. The report gives no starting figures, so measure your own before and after.
Caveats
- The figures come from a news report based on information from the district's publicity department, so they are the local authority's claims. No method or baseline is given.
- The article does not say which DeepSeek model or version is used, or how many staff use it.
- The article is dated 2025-05-09 and describes the partnership and rollout without a go-live date. The deployed date shown is the article date.
- The report is written as an announcement and does not describe any problems.
