(SeaPRwire) - CGTN published an article examining why the world is closely watching the upcoming China-US summit. Against a backdrop of prolonged geopolitical tensions and fragile global recovery, the article highlights how head-of-state diplomacy serves as the "anchor" of China-US relations. It also explores how the summit could inject greater certainty into an increasingly volatile world.BEIJING, May 11, 2026 -- At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump will pay a state visit to China from May 13 to 15, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Monday.At a time of prolonged geopolitical tensions and fragile global recovery, the world is closely watching whether the two leaders can further stabilize China-US relations and inject much-needed certainty into the international landscape.Keeping China-US relations on the right courseFor many observers, the summit reflects one core hope: stability in bilateral ties.Interviews conducted by CGTN show a common view among experts that head-of-state diplomacy has long served as the "anchor" of that stability.As Wu Xinbo, dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, put it, such head-of-state diplomacy "sets the tone and defines the direction" of bilateral ties.Christopher Newport University's Associate Professor Sun Taiyi similarly noted that direct leader-to-leader communication helps reduce uncertainty, prevent miscalculation and signal that stability remains the overriding priority.Over the past year, the two leaders have maintained communication through phone calls and a face-to-face meeting in Busan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), helping prevent major miscalculations and keeping the overall relationship stable.As Xi told Trump in Busan, "In the face of winds, waves and challenges, we should stay the right course, navigate through the complex landscape, and ensure the steady sailing forward of the giant ship of China-US relations."That metaphor of "steering the ship" has been reflected in concrete progress.Since 2025, under the strategic consensus reached by the two heads of state, economic teams from both sides have held multiple rounds of talks, while large-scale tariff escalation has been paused. A new round of consultations is set to take place in the ROK from May 12 to 13, just ahead of the Beijing summit.People-to-people exchanges have also regained momentum. In April, Beijing hosted events marking the 55th anniversary of China-US "Ping-Pong Diplomacy," with hundreds of young Chinese and Americans taking part in sports and cultural exchanges. More US youth groups have also traveled to China for exchange and study programs.Bringing certainty to a changing worldAs the world's two largest economies, and with China-US relations standing as one of the most important bilateral ties globally, outcomes of head-of-state diplomacy between the two countries not only help stabilize bilateral relations, but also have a broader impact on global development and governance.As Peterson Institute Senior Fellow Chad Bown noted, "virtually everyone has a stake in the outcome." Cornell University economist Eswar Prasad went further, suggesting the meeting could carry implications for global trade, geopolitics and even the "rules-based order."CGTN interviews with experts highlight the similar points.Zhang Tengjun, associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, said deeper cooperation could inject momentum into global recovery and stabilize industrial and supply chains, stressing that the trajectory of bilateral ties is closely tied to the world's future.On this point, scholar Sun said that stable relations reduce risks of supply chain disruption, financial volatility and geopolitical fragmentation.Dean Wu noted that as the world's two major technological powers, China and the United States have the capacity to generate "win-win outcomes" through practical cooperation, supporting broader global growth and scientific progress.Likewise, Cui Fan, vice dean of the University of International Business and Economics, emphasized that both countries share responsibility for the stability of global governance.Xi underlined this responsibility in Busan as well: "The world today is confronted with many tough problems. China and the United States can jointly shoulder our responsibility as major countries, and work together to accomplish more great and concrete things for the good of our two countries and the whole world."This year provides a window for that responsibility to be tested, with China hosting APEC and the United States hosting the G20 Leaders' Summit – two platforms that could open space for coordination on global recovery, food and energy security, debt risks, and governance reform.In a February phone call with Trump, Xi set out a pragmatic path forward: "If the two sides work in the same direction in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, we can surely find ways to address each other's concerns."The world will watch the upcoming summit to see how Beijing and Washington can translate into action Xi's call to "make progress step by step to build mutual trust, find the right way to get along, and make 2026 a year where the two major countries advance toward mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation."https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-05-11/Why-is-the-world-watching-the-upcoming-China-US-summit--1N3u9OWFqdq/p.htmlCONTACT: Contact: CGTN Digital cgtn@cgtn.com This article is provided by a third-party content provider.

(SeaPRwire) - BEIJING, May 11, 2026 -- China’s humanoid robots are transitioning from scripted performances—such as those on the Spring Festival Gala stage—to more challenging real-world settings, including outdoor marathons. This evolution reflects significant progress in technical capabilities and offers a visible indicator of broader industrial advancement.At the recent 2026 Beijing E-Town half-marathon, a humanoid robot named "Flash" developed by Shenzhen Honor Smart Technology Development Co., Ltd. completed the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds under autonomous navigation, finishing ahead of all human competitors. This time surpassed the previous human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds set by Ugandan athlete Jacob Kiplimo at the Lisbon Half Marathon in March 2026.This year marked a dramatic improvement compared to the inaugural event held just one year earlier. In that first edition, Tiangong Ultra, another humanoid robot, finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds, with only six out of 20 competing teams successfully completing the course.While last year’s participants primarily focused on completing the distance without falling, this year’s entrants were engineered to approach peak human speeds, highlighting the rapid advancements in both performance and reliability within China’s humanoid robotics sector over a single year.Although organizing such an event may seem impractical at first glance, it serves a deeper purpose: by creating an extreme, seemingly non-essential scenario, it mobilizes substantial capital, talent, and engineering resources to channel industrial capacity into cutting-edge technologies."Humanoid robots have not yet achieved full commercialization, so market demand cannot directly shape requirements like joint cooling or endurance, as seen in the electric vehicle industry," explained Shao Yuanxin, founder and chief operating officer of Robstride Dynamics, a leading domestic integrated actuator manufacturer.In these high-stakes sports environments, competition drives algorithmic refinement. The technical validations conducted during and after events will increasingly inform real-world applications, accelerating the shift from experimental prototypes to deployable systems.Beyond the track, a clear industrial pathway is emerging in China, progressing rapidly from research and development to large-scale manufacturing, and from laboratory testing to practical deployment across real-world scenarios.In recent years, China has emphasized technological self-reliance and strategic planning for emerging industries, identifying robotics as a critical frontier for securing future technological leadership. The 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) further integrates the sector into core national industrial strategy, while local governments have intensified efforts to bridge the gap between lab innovation and real-world implementation.According to market researcher International Data Corporation (IDC), global shipments of humanoid robots are projected to exceed 510,000 units by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of nearly 95 percent.Official data released on Tuesday indicated that in the first quarter, China’s adoption of new technologies—including artificial intelligence—accelerated across electronics and consumer goods sectors, with output of industrial robots surging 33.2 percent year-on-year.Li Yechuan, chief engineer at the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, stated that China’s support mechanisms now extend beyond financial investment, talent cultivation, and infrastructure planning to include creating a more conducive environment for innovation.This year’s marathon also saw strong participation from young innovators. Teams of students from top universities—including Peking University, Beihang University, Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Hebei University of Technology—took part in the competition.Many robotics companies offered their humanoid robots—some valued at hundreds of thousands of yuan—free of charge to student teams. This initiative aims to encourage broader involvement from startups and academic groups while fostering the next generation of robotics talent.During the event, Zhao Mingguo, a researcher at Tsinghua University’s Department of Automation, told business news outlet Yicai that the participant pool has expanded well beyond traditional robotics firms to include players from automotive and smartphone industries.These large enterprises bring systematic management expertise and the ability to make substantial investments, signaling that China’s broader industrial ecosystem is maturing. He added that this also demonstrates how swiftly China’s robotics sector can iterate once a clear goal is established, showing the industry’s capacity for rapid execution and delivery.Source: The 2026 Beijing E-Town half-marathonCONTACT: Contact person: Ms. E, Tel: 86-10-63074558 This article is provided by a third-party content provider.

(SeaPRwire) - HUZHOU, China, May 10, 2026 -- In May, Moganshan enjoys warm breezes and lush greenery that stretches across the mountains. Embracing the theme "Brands Bring Better Future for the World," the 2026 World Brand Moganshan Conference, running from May 9 to 12, opened in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province. Once again, the event serves as a bond to bring together global brand wisdom and innovative forces. Chinese brands are accelerating their strategic upgrade from a global supply chain hub to a source of new quality productive forces. Innovation has become the shared choice for Chinese brands to open new spaces and revitalize growth. During the just-concluded May Day holiday, the first official store of Unitree Robotics opened in Beijing's Wangfujing shopping district, drawing large crowds. Visitors interacted with products and took photos, experiencing the technological appeal of the G1 humanoid robot, Go2 quadruped robot, and other devices. As a Chinese brand gaining global attention in the tech sector, Unitree's move marks an important step to bring embodied intelligence products into daily life, showcasing its technological breakthroughs in hardware structure, motion control, and human-machine interaction through intuitive, experiential products. According to the 2025 Top 500 Chinese Enterprises list, the included brands invested a total of 1.73 trillion yuan in R&D, with an R&D intensity reaching a record high of 1.95%, rising for 8 consecutive years. Meanwhile, the quality of innovation output continued to improve: the top 500 held 2.2437 million valid patents in 2025, up 10.54% year-on-year. These impressive figures reflect the sound and improving momentum of Chinese brands and their surging innovative vitality. "We are breaking high-end market barriers through technological innovation, empowering products with cultural elements, and continuously advancing brand upgrading," said Wu Zifu, President of Zhejiang Haers Vacuum Containers Co., Ltd. Since its founding, the company has focused on R&D, design, production, and sales of stainless-steel vacuum insulation containers, with products now sold to more than 80 countries and regions worldwide. "Technological innovation and brand building reinforce each other," Wu noted. Culture is also a major facilitator for expanding brand impact worldwide. Kweichow Moutai leverages liquor as a cultural bridge, staying consumer-centric and market-driven. Led by its going global cultural strategy, it focuses on consumer demand, shifting its international business from channel-led to consumer-driven growth. With a marketing network covering 66 countries and regions, Moutai has become a globally celebrated icon of Chinese brands. Beyond individual enterprises, brand building is a key catalyst for industrial transformation and upgrading. As a major manufacturing province, Zhejiang once produced the world's largest volumes of socks, ties, and small home appliances, yet was labeled "cheap" and "low-end" in international markets. Since 2015, Zhejiang has implemented an initiative to cultivate top-quality, well-known made-in-Zhejiang products. Over more than a decade, the province has successfully cultivated over 5,300 certified enterprises under the initiative, driving Zhejiang's shift from a major manufacturing province to a strong brand province. Xie Xiaoyun, head of Zhejiang's top market regulator, said that Zhejiang has formulated more than 3,900 "Made in Zhejiang" standards aligned with advanced international benchmarks such as those in Germany and Switzerland, ensuring product quality through full-process compliance. The province has also partnered with international certification bodies to build a "one certification, multiple country recognition" system and issued international top brand certificates, further promoting "Made in Zhejiang" to the world, according to Xie. Industry observers note that from OEM processing to independent R&D, from scale expansion to value deepening, and from adopting foreign elements to promoting national styles, Chinese brands have offered global consumers richer, high-quality choices with excellent quality, innovative technology, and culturally resonant designs, becoming a vivid window for the world to observe and understand China. Since its launch in 2023, the World Brand Moganshan Conference has grown into an influential and reputable platform in the global brand sector, attracting tens of thousands of political, business, academic, and social representatives worldwide to share insights and guide brand development. As the permanent host city, Deqing has accelerated the clustering of new quality productive forces, including the internet of vehicles and artificial intelligence. International organizations and global brands such as the United Nations Global Geospatial Knowledge and Innovation Center have established a presence, while emerging sectors including the self-reward economy and event economy are booming. Through integrated development, Deqing embodies the profound meaning of "Brands Bring Better Future for the World." The 2026 World Brand Moganshan Conference features a rich lineup of events, according to the World Brand Moganshan Conference Organizing Committee. Alongside the main forum and the Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs lawn story-sharing session, new events this year include the Chinese brands global tour special event, China economic annual observation & Xinhua Finance eco-partner conference, and historical & classic industries conference & intangible cultural heritage China gala. Parallel forums, such as the Fortune Global 500 brand development forum, as well as special events, including the China Brand Day gala and the culture & tourism high-quality development conference, will enhance the conference's professionalism, effectiveness, and diversity. By the Fengqi Lake, lights and art weaved a splendid scene. An immersive brand show featuring more than 3,000 drones lit up Deqing's night sky, deeply integrating brands with the city and light art with creativity. At the foot of Moganshan, the conference will once again record the inspiring journey of Chinese brands driving the transformation and upgrading of "Made in China" with robust innovation, market vitality, and cultural resilience.

(SeaPRwire) - WUHU, China, May 08, 2026 -- During the 2026 International Business Summit, Chery Group's LEPAS L6 PHEV Global Journey of Elegant Driving successfully concluded its extensive test drive across China. As a vital validation phase within LEPAS’s three-step strategy—“debut, validation, and co-creation”—the journey commenced at Auto China 2026, regrouped in Wuxi, and culminated at the LEPAS Global Partner Conference in Wuhu. Traversing diverse road conditions and real-world environments, it demonstrated the model’s comprehensive capabilities while reinforcing the brand vision of “Elegance Moves the World.” Throughout the journey, participants explored how a globally focused NEV brand can redefine mobility aesthetics through sophisticated technology. The initial stop, Wuxi, offered a setting where traditional Chinese elegance converged with European refinement—mirroring the “Leopard Aesthetics” design of the LEPAS L6 PHEV. Against Renaissance-style architecture, the vehicle’s low, wide stance conveyed both assurance and sophistication. Distinctive elements such as the “Hunting Eye” LED headlights and sculpted shoulder lines blended classical proportions with modern aerodynamics, transforming the car into a dynamic expression of design and identity. As the convoy transitioned from urban boulevards to highways, the focus shifted to performance validation. Built on the Intelligent LEX Platform, the LEPAS L6 PHEV exhibited robust chassis stability, refined ride comfort, and seamless power delivery across varying speeds. International test drivers, including participants from Australia, highlighted the vehicle’s responsiveness, high-speed control, and composure on uneven surfaces—underscoring its engineering excellence. With a leading 44.5% thermal efficiency and an extended combined driving range, the model delivered exceptional energy management under demanding conditions. Seamless coordination between the internal combustion engine and electric system ensured efficient power distribution, reducing range anxiety and enhancing long-distance usability. This balance allows drivers to concentrate on both the journey and in-cabin comfort, reflecting LEPAS’s focus on emotional and practical user value. In complex driving scenarios—such as highway merging or obstacle avoidance—the vehicle demonstrated precise perception and millisecond-level response, enabling smooth, controlled maneuvers. Guests from Southeast Asia particularly praised its practicality in congested urban environments, noting how intuitive human-machine interaction simplifies driving while maintaining a sense of control. This integration of intelligence and usability reflects LEPAS’s approach to making advanced technology feel natural and effortless. The journey concluded in Yixing, where participants experienced traditional Zisha pottery-making. This activity highlighted parallels between cultural craftsmanship and LEPAS’s approach to intelligent manufacturing—both rooted in precision, patience, and attention to detail. From its 65.2% space utilization efficiency to sustained comfort over long distances, the LEPAS L6 PHEV reflects a philosophy that extends beyond performance: mobility as an expression of refined living. This Global Journey marks a significant milestone for the LEPAS L6 PHEV, transitioning from its debut to real-world validation. From Milan to Beijing and across global markets, the model demonstrates how technological excellence, design, and lifestyle integration define modern elegance—ensuring every journey is confident, composed, and effortless.

(SeaPRwire) - JINHUA, China, May 08, 2026 -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: KNDI), an international developer of intelligent equipment and technology-driven platforms, announced today that it received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (“Nasdaq”) on May 5, 2026. The letter informed the Company that it is currently not meeting the minimum bid price requirement, as its closing bid price was below $1.00 per share from March 23, 2026, through May 4, 2026. According to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), listed companies must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share; failing to do so for 30 consecutive business days results in a compliance deficiency. This notification does not have an immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted 180 calendar days, or until November 2, 2026 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to resolve this deficiency. During this timeframe, Kandi’s shares will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Company can regain compliance if the closing bid price of its ordinary shares reaches at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any point during the Initial Compliance Period, at which time Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance. If compliance is not achieved by November 2, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify, Kandi would need to apply to transfer its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market, submit the required online application, pay a $5,000 non-refundable fee, and satisfy all other continued listing standards for that market, with the exception of the bid price. Additionally, the Company must provide written notice of its intent to fix the deficiency during the second period, which may include implementing a reverse stock split. Nasdaq staff will then determine if the Company is likely to resolve the issue. If the staff believes the deficiency cannot be cured, or if the Company chooses not to apply for the transfer, Nasdaq will issue a delisting notice, which the Company may appeal through a Nasdaq hearing panel. Furthermore, if the Company’s ordinary shares have a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days during any applicable compliance period, Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination in accordance with Rule 5810. Kandi intends to monitor its share price closely through November 2, 2026. If it appears the Company will not be eligible for an extension or regain compliance as the deadline approaches, the board of directors will evaluate all available options to meet Nasdaq’s requirements. About Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: KNDI) is a global innovator in intelligent equipment and a technology-driven platform company.
