Humanoid Robots in China: Partners, Not Replacements
A Chinese official assures that humanoid robots will enhance productivity rather than cause mass unemployment, as seen in initiatives like Beijing's robot half-marathon. The focus is on robots supplementing human capability, including performing tasks in hazardous environments, not replacing human jobs.

In the wake of China's rapid technological expansion, a top Chinese official has emphasized that humanoid robots are intended to complement human labor, not replace it.
Liang Liang, a deputy director at a major tech hub in Beijing, stressed in a recent interview that these machines aim to boost efficiency and tackle hazardous tasks beyond human reach.
This perspective was illustrated in Beijing's first robot half-marathon, showcasing robots as partners in progress across various sectors, with innovation at the forefront of development.
