70 media representatives from the US, Singapore and Brazil, a brain‑controlled finger prosthesis and humanoid robots that will soon care for the elderly

As reported by CCTV+, journalists from around the world got a first‑hand look at the groundbreaking technological developments shaping China’s technological future. The media tour took place in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province.

About 70 media representatives from the United States, Singapore and Brazil visited the headquarters of several ambitious tech companies.

At BrainCo, visitors were shown a brain‑computer interface. An employee with a disability easily controlled prosthetic fingers and even practised calligraphy. He said: “I control it just like my own hand. Each finger moves. It is intuitive. There is no lag.”

Nelson Pancini De Sá, a reporter for the Brazilian company Universo Online, shared his impressions: “I think this field, especially the brain‑related field, is one of the most exciting areas China is working on right now. There are high expectations that China will provide answers to many people around the world.”

The press tour also highlighted Zhejiang’s strategy of integrating technological and industrial innovation. Unitree Robotics, based in Hangzhou, produces 60 to 70 percent of the world’s quadruped robots.

Huang Jiawei, marketing director of Unitree Robotics, said: “Unitree has unveiled the H2 Plus — a benchmark next‑generation humanoid robot project. Its launch is scheduled for the second half of this year. This will give humanoid robots a more powerful ‘smart brain’.”

Journalists noted that Chinese manufacturers are shifting the focus from showiness to real‑world applications. Some companies highlighted the robots’ potential in elderly care.

Anantha Krishnan, a reporter for the Indian news agency The Hindu, said: “I found it quite interesting that they are studying these humanoid robots and training them specifically to meet the needs of elderly people living alone. That is an interesting direction for further development.”

BrainCo is a Chinese company developing brain‑computer interfaces for medical and educational purposes. Unitree Robotics is a global leader in quadruped and humanoid robots.

Journalists came to see technological marvels. They saw a future that has already arrived. A person with a disability writes characters using the power of thought. A robot that could tomorrow become a caregiver for a lonely grandmother. China no longer copies. It creates. And it sells 70 percent of the world’s robots. The question is not whether someone will catch up with China. The question is how quickly others will start using these technologies to help real people. While some are just watching, others are already controlling prosthetics with their minds. And that is not science fiction. That is Zhejiang. Today.
