One thing I did want to show you was Conor Stringer, as I keep describing, three whiskeys deep
0:04
This is China unveiling a new generation of robots performing Kung Fu in an effort to showcase its technological might on the West
0:11
Take a look at this. That's incredible
0:25
So these robots performed martial arts, parkour and breakdancing in what the Chinese embassy in Washington called a demonstration of precision, power and perfect balance
0:34
It was broadcast on state television during China's Spring Festival Gala, the Lunar New Year's Eve show that's the biggest in the country and seen as a major part of Beijing's propaganda efforts for its citizens and the rest of the world
0:48
Unitree, the robotics company behind the machines, said it planned to build as many as 20,000 humanoids this year
0:55
I mean... I'll tell you what, I don't fancy your chances when I was outside of pub, big fella
0:59
I know. Look at the way he's throwing that nunchuck about it. You in trouble there I mean for me that more than just propaganda Eric That a serious robotic force I mean yeah well sorry Eric I didn interrupt before you answer but we accustomed to these robots being a bit hit and miss
1:12
Sometimes from China, we saw the boxing one, I think, towards the end of last year, where they were struggling to get on their feet, but they can't literally stay off their feet
1:19
I mean, the more chilling thing is that they're planning to build 20,000 of them
1:24
You know, I think what's so interesting about this, I can't help but think about Elon Musk
1:28
It seems as though he's attempting to move away from building cars to actually building robots
1:34
And I wonder if he will be able to actually meet this level of scale in terms of what we're seeing right now from China
1:41
Do you think this is a real concern now that we essentially have become quite assessed with the AI bubble and the AI computer race
1:46
that China have essentially diverged somewhat into the robotics world? You look at their autonomous vehicles and rockets are fantastic
1:53
And, you know, they are building these these numbshot throwing robots. And I think what's so concerning about this is the fact that we see now so many nations moving away from the United States cozying up to China
2:05
And that just gives China I think a much larger market for technology like this I think it should be very concerning for the West when we look at this And Elon Musk has got to be sweating bullets because this is meant to be his next project in terms of where this will take his company
2:21
But I don't know if it will based on what we'll take. You're right. And that's why we're seeing this re-hemistry from Donald Trump
2:26
It's because we're in a tech war, essentially a tech crisis, isn't it, between the U.S. and China
2:31
You know, that's hence the kind of drive for minerals and the idea to try and throw China out of America's backyard
2:36
is because we want to, well, the US want to win that war. They feel that I think it's fairly said that we're losing it
2:41
And it's hard to say we're not when you look at Chinese robots traveling down the charts and doing backflips on the rig
2:47
Yeah, and it was, Musk says, I think, Paul, that his sort of
2:52
is it Tesla? I think it's a Tesla bot. We'll be out in maybe three to four years. But, I mean, as Conor said, I wouldn't want to come across one of those
2:58
on a dark alley somewhere. In three, four years, it's like, why even bother? China was a market at that point
3:02
And also, interestingly, Paul, sorry to interject before you answer that. But it was Mark Carney cozying up to President Xi in recent weeks saying they're heading
3:11
the New World Order together. They got visa travel now the Canadians to China So again as Eric just made the pertinent point the rest of the world is facing China for a myriad of matters Yeah I can help but feel that what Mark Carney done is kind of treachery in many
3:29
ways. I don't think we should be. Just because you can't deal with your friends doesn't mean
3:34
that you should make a pact with your enemies, would be my argument to Mark Carney. Ideologically
3:40
we are opposed to one another, China and the West. It's as simple as that. And by the way
3:45
we should all be slightly more scared of what's going on with those robots. They've got swords in their hands
3:49
When they make decisions to come for us, we are in a lot of trouble
3:55
Yeah, well, the reason Carney's doing that is because he essentially, I call him the globalist-in-chief, he's a commie, the commies are in China
4:02
Same with our Labour government. People would say, well, they're not communists, are they? But, OK, well, why did Rachel Reeves remove a portrait of Margaret Thatcher in number 11
4:09
and put up a portrait of the founding member of the Communist Party of Britain? So they are commies
4:14
Paul last word to you Yes they are commies They are socialists
4:18
And they are There's no two ways about it And I am against it
