Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Humanoids are leading China’s AI and tech revolution
Tesla introduced its first mass-produced EV sedan, Model S, in 2012. It
delivered nearly 1.8 million EVs globally in 2024, a slight decrease from the
previous year. In the same year, around 1.5 million EVs were sold in the USA,
while over 11 million EVs and PHEVs were sold in China. The world’s largest EV manufacturer
was BYD, which sold over four million EVs and PHEVs in 2024 alone. ChatGPT was
launched by OpenAI, a US AI organization, in November 2022. It immediately became
popular around the world. DeepSeek, a Chinese company founded in July 2023,
released its chatbot and AI model in January 2025. As for robots, Boston
Dynamics, an American engineering and robotics company now owned by South Korea’s
Hyundai Motor Group, has introduced a number of four-legged robots since 2005. China,
already home to over half of the global industrial robot installations, is
aggressively developing AI-embodied humanoid robots, not only for practical
uses like delivery or security but also for entertainment and human assistance.
Space ships, high-speed railways, smartphones, drones, EVs, AI, and robots. Indeed,
China is one of the leading runners in the innovation race, and Chinese people seem
to be comfortable with and adaptive to new technologies. How fast will China’s
tech industry grow?
Watch the video from Beyond Expo 2025, Asia’s largest tech showcase
held in Macao, to learn what kinds of technologies are emerging recently.
