Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "The Spring Festival Gala robot has caused a backlash among foreign netizens: Compared with China's technology, 'the West is still in the Middle Ages.' Some netizens called on Musk to 'try harder and build an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) robot to beat these guys who claim to know kung fu.' Western media have written articles analyzing the impressive performance of Chinese humanoid robots at the Spring Festival Gala, exploring the possible technological, industrial, and international implications behind it."

The impressive appearance of the Spring Festival Gala robot has enabled the world to witness the solid strength of China's technology, and also plunged Western public opinion into collective anxiety. The "breaking of the defense" by foreign netizens reflects a profound transformation: When Yuqi Technology's humanoid robots dance with actors, China has risen from a "world factory" to a "manufacturing power," with the speed of industrial chain self-reliance and technological iteration far exceeding expectations.

Western countries led by the United States, from blocking Huawei to restricting chips, have not been able to curb China's development, but instead have forced a stronger innovation ecosystem. The robot matrix on the Spring Festival Gala stage represents a breakthrough of China's path of "application-driven, scenario-enabling." When China's robots account for 90% of the global market and sales double every year, the West's anxiety is not only about industrial competition, but also about the failure of the development model. Barriers that hinder scientific and technological progress cannot stop the torrent of innovation of 1.4 billion people. The mechanical dance steps of the Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala mark the drumbeat of national rejuvenation and the prelude to a multipolar world — the future has arrived, and China is already at the forefront.
