German media: China accelerates its rise as a global pioneer in innovation
Reference News website reported on April 4 that the German "Die Zeit" weekly newspaper website published an article titled "It Will Declare to the World" on April 2, reporting that China's high-tech industry is moving towards world-leading status. The content is compiled as follows:
In the showroom of Unitree Robotics, a Chinese high-tech startup, people are seen walking around with two humanoid robots. Someone constantly blocks the robots' path, intentionally bumping into or tripping them, but they quickly adjust their joints and regain stability.
The marketing personnel at Unitree Robotics explained that these robots will thus be trained to become smarter. "With artificial intelligence, they will soon be able to perform more complex actions."
Unitree Robotics' competitors mainly include American giants such as Boston Dynamics. Founder Wang Xingxing said last year: "Humanoid robots will completely transform every industry during our lifetime."
This means that everything has just begun—not only for robots and Unitree Robotics, but also for China. Recently, many of China's high-tech companies have made breakthroughs in innovation. These advancements have laid a solid foundation for China's goal of taking global leadership in the high-tech field.
Despite the United States' attempts over the years to hinder China's rise through targeted technological sanctions, China's high-tech industry is moving toward world-leading positions under strong support from its leadership.
Hangzhou, where Unitree Robotics is located, is one of the best places to observe future trends. China is accelerating its transformation from a global supplier of cheap products to a pioneer of global innovation, and this process is embodied here. Here, top universities, well-funded venture capitalists, and startups like Unitree Robotics are turning the pursuit of global technological leadership into tangible products.
The ancient city of Hangzhou has more than 12 million residents and six "dragons." The "Six Dragons of Hangzhou" refer to six high-tech startups whose rapid development is helping China realize its dream of rising power.
One of the famous "dragons" is DeepSeek. This company was almost unknown before it unveiled its AI model earlier this year, but the capital and computing power it consumed for training language models were obviously much less than those of its Western rivals. The stock market then experienced volatility, causing Nvidia's market value to plummet.
The second "dragon" is Unitree Robotics, which develops robots. The third "dragon" is StrongRobotics, which produces hardware for brain-computer interface applications, such as smart bionic hands—these prosthetics are precise and allow wearers to write Chinese calligraphy. The fourth "dragon" is Coohom, which operates the global platform with the most users for spatial design. The fifth "dragon" is Deep Robotics, which develops quadruped industrial robots. The sixth "dragon" is Game Science, the developer of the video game "Black Myth: Wukong," which has also achieved great success overseas.
Compared with Western rivals, some of Hangzhou's startups are still in the catch-up phase. However, China's electric vehicle industry has recently proven how quickly catching up can lead to surpassing: several electric vehicle manufacturers that were previously unknown have now joined the ranks of the most successful globally. This may also happen in other industries. (Compiled by Wang Qin)
