As 2025 draws to a close, CGTN's annual Tech Review program spotlights groundbreaking advancements transforming Asia's technological landscape. This year's analysis brings together industry experts and journalists to examine how artificial intelligence, space exploration, and renewable energy solutions are redefining regional economies and daily life.
China's space program marked historic milestones this year, with its lunar base prototype completing critical testing phases. Meanwhile, AI-powered humanoid robots now assist in manufacturing hubs across the Chinese mainland, boosting productivity by 40% in pilot programs. New energy innovations also took center stage, with perovskite solar cells achieving record 33% efficiency rates in commercial applications.
The review particularly emphasizes cross-border collaborations, noting increased technology sharing between the Chinese mainland and ASEAN nations. 'What we're seeing in 2025 isn't just individual breakthroughs, but an acceleration of regional tech integration,' remarked one CGTN analyst during the program.
With APEC members preparing to implement new digital trade frameworks in 2026, the review concludes by examining how this year's innovations position Asia at the forefront of next-generation technological development.
