CGTN's interactive campaign, 'Ask China,' has turned heads by featuring humanoid robots as conversation partners to address global curiosity about the nation's technological advancements. The initiative collected over 90,000 questions worldwide, spanning topics from daily life breakthroughs to cutting-edge innovations.
In a recent episode, Unitree Robotics' G1 humanoid robot visited CGTN’s studio, showcasing its advanced mobility and interactive capabilities. The Hangzhou-based company, already famous for robots that dazzled audiences at this year's CMG Spring Festival Gala, highlighted how such technology bridges cultural understanding and fosters dialogue.
'This isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about demonstrating China’s role in shaping a tech-driven future,' the segment emphasized. The G1’s fluid movements and real-time responses underscored rapid progress in AI and robotics, aligning with broader regional investments in automation and smart manufacturing.
For businesses and researchers, the demonstration signals growing opportunities in Asia’s tech sector. Meanwhile, diaspora communities and travelers gain insights into China’s cultural fusion of tradition and innovation.
