SAN JOSE, Calif. – Two of China’s Web giants tapped domestic and U.S. chip partners for embedded voice software and services competing with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Alibaba announced its Tmall Genie, similar to Amazon’s Echo, using silicon from China’s C-Sky.

It had previously shown DuerOS running on chips from Shanghai-based RDA Microelectronics.
