On August 25, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian addressed the recent 2026 World Robot Conference held in Beijing during a regular press briefing. While some observers have expressed uncertainty about the industrial implementation and commercialization prospects of related sectors, and noted that certain countries have imposed precautionary and restrictive measures on China’s high-tech industries—potentially limiting its ability to share opportunities globally—Lin Jian emphasized that China’s pursuit of new quality productive forces and its advancement of scientific and technological innovation are firmly grounded in the principles of open cooperation and mutual benefit, rather than artificial restrictions or closed monopolies.

China, he stated, is committed to strengthening dialogue and collaboration with nations worldwide in cutting-edge areas such as artificial intelligence and embodied intelligence. By transforming Chinese innovation and manufacturing into engines of shared development, China aims to unlock cooperation potential through technological exchange, joint standard-setting, and market-sharing initiatives. This approach, Lin Jian underscored, ensures that innovative achievements benefit all of humanity.
