Foreign Ministry: Open Cooperation Key to China's New Quality Productive Forces

The 2026 World Robot Conference was held in Beijing, followed by the opening of the second World Humanoid Robot Games at the National Speed Skating Oval. Robots made in China broke world records in the 100-meter sprint and men's high jump, sparking global discussions. However, some commentators have expressed doubts about the commercialization prospects of these industries. Additionally, certain countries have adopted protective and restrictive measures against China's high-tech sectors, which could hinder China's commitment to sharing opportunities with the world.

In response, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lin Jian stated at a regular press conference that the underlying logic of China's development of new quality productive forces lies in open cooperation and mutual benefit. He emphasized that China remains committed to open collaboration and is willing to share development opportunities with other countries. Lin also noted that China will continue to promote the growth of robotics and other high-tech industries, while engaging in international cooperation for global technological progress.

Moreover, Lin stressed that China's approach to new quality productive forces is not a zero-sum game but aims for win-win outcomes. He called on countries to jointly foster a favorable environment for innovation and cooperation in emerging fields such as robotics.
