At a regular press conference held on the morning of September 2, 2026, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council addressed questions from reporters on recent cross-strait topics of interest.
In response to a reporter's inquiry about the recently concluded Second World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, which drew significant global attention, the spokesperson noted that public opinion in Taiwan has been highly complimentary of the mainland's advances in robotics.
Observers across the strait have remarked that mainland robotic technology is now advancing rapidly toward greater precision, intelligence, and practicality, with several key technological iterations progressing at an astonishing pace. Many have suggested that the two sides should enhance industrial collaboration in this field.
The spokesperson highlighted that the evolution of mainland humanoid robots—from lively performances on Spring Festival Gala stages, to breaking new records at athletic competitions, and now to applications in production and daily life—serves as a microcosm of the mainland's deep integration and swift development of technological and industrial innovation.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" has made forward-looking arrangements for future industries such as embodied intelligence and brain-computer interfaces. With its complete industrial system, solid industrial foundation, and diverse application scenarios, the mainland is poised to offer vast development opportunities for Taiwanese compatriots and enterprises.
The spokesperson concluded by welcoming Taiwanese compatriots and businesses to come to the mainland for innovation and entrepreneurship, to participate in high-quality development, and to work together in strengthening the economy of the Chinese nation.
