China's EV Giants Pivot to Humanoid Robots

A new trend is emerging in China's tech scene: leading electric vehicle companies are heavily investing in humanoid robot development. This is closely tied to the booming EV market in China, which significantly surpasses the US market share, driven by price competition, government subsidies, and well-established infrastructure. The recent appearance of dancing humanoid robots on China's New Year Gala, while sparking some technical debate, showcases China's rapid advancements in robotics. This trend could have profound implications for the global tech landscape and potentially impact policies like those of the Trump administration.
