China: China accelerates development of future industries.
May 29, 2026
Storyline China accelerates development of future industries in 2026 China is accelerating the development of its frontier technologies with a series of landmark projects that include advanced robotics and transportation and the country's first data center in space. In Shanghai, a pilot platform for humanoid robot components is taking shape. In establishing small-scale trial production lines for five categories of components, including reducers, the platform offers 72 testing and verification services, significantly lowering the development threshold for humanoid robots. In north China's Shanxi Province, hydrogen-powered shared bicycles are hitting the streets, while more than 15,000 hydrogen heavy-duty trucks operate logistics routes. Local authorities are also planning several cross-provincial hydrogen logistics corridors. And in Beijing, preparations are underway for the country's first space computing innovation center. The center will aim to gradually relocate ground-based data centers to outer space to enable data collection, processing and output from orbit. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
