If you want to see how fast China is inventing the future you just need to witness how much progress was made in just 12 months in the field of humanoid robotics.
Here is a video of the 2025 Spring Gala performance vs the 2026 performance and it's absolutely remarkable.
To be honest it's a little scary just how much progress and innovation can take place in such a limited amount of time. What will this technology look like in 5 or 10 years?
Once again you can dismiss this as "propaganda" and convince yourself that China is failing or you can embrace the future and learn to work with China, who will have a major impact on every future technology important to the world.
