AI robots taking centre stage at the coming Spring Festival Gala – now a national tech showcase – will signal official endorsement and likely trigger herd investment
Policymakers and markets, however, should see something else: a carefully staged signal of how China’s political economy is positioning for the next cycle of industrial overcapacity – and its global consequences.
The gala has become a national showcase for hard technology. This year, China Media Group is partnering with robotics and embodied intelligence companies, including Unitree Robotics, Galbot and MagicLab. Galbot’s robots have been officially designated as the gala’s embodied large-model robots. Company executives say its robots will go beyond preprogrammed movements to show an awareness of their environment and ability to react.
