It’s interesting how differently Chinese and Japanese netizens react to each other’s tech progress. Chinese users in general tend to notice Japan’s real advances and openly discuss what they can learn from them. Chinese netizens don’t hide their robots’ mistakes at the Beijing half-marathon — they’re busy sharing funny...

Last night, China Central Television (CCTV) aired its 2026 Chinese New Year Gala celebrating the Year of the Horse. The show featured a wide range of performances, including Unitree Robotics humanoid robots performing martial arts in sync with human dancers. Just a year ago, Unitree’s robots appeared at the same gala, but their movements looked stiff and mechanical. This year, they were noticeably more fluid and coordinated — a remarkable improvement, even if they’re still likely operating under some level of remote supervision. When it comes to humanoid robotics, most of the visible momentum today seems to be coming from the U.S. and China. Companies like Tesla (with Optimus) and Boston Dynamics in the U.S., alongside rapidly advancing Chinese firms, dominate the headlines. So what happened to Europe and Japan? Japan was once seen as the global leader, especially with Honda’s ASIMO and SoftBank Robotics’ humanoid projects. However, ASIMO was retired, and much of Japan’s robotics focus shifted toward industrial automation and service robots rather than full-scale general-purpose humanoids. Europe, meanwhile, remains strong in industrial robotics, research, and precision engineering — with players like ABB and KUKA — but hasn’t pushed aggressively into commercial humanoid platforms at the same scale or speed as the U.S. and China. In short, it’s less that Europe and Japan disappeared, and more that the center of gravity in humanoid robotics — especially AI-driven, general-purpose humanoids — has shifted toward U.S.–China competition. Whether that gap widens or narrows will depend on breakthroughs in embodied AI, cost reduction, and real-world deployment over the next few years.

An 82-year-old Cuban pilot went viral on Chinese social media after recounting his friendship with and studies in China during the 1960s and asking about the cost of a flight from Havana to Beijing to a Chinese tourist. Living in a cramped room with just one bed in Cuba, the 82-year-old is known as "Tito" on Chinese social media. When a Chinese female tourist walked by his door, he tried to converse with her despite her language barrier and initial shock. The girl later discovered that Tito was a Cuban pilot who studied aviation in Shanxi Province, China, from 1961 to 1963. Tito showed her his Chinese PLA graduation certificate and told her that he missed China and that most of his pilot friends had already died. After that, he asked how much a plane ticket from Havana to Beijing would cost. The girl later shared the video on Chinese social media, describing Tito as "the lonely grandfather in Cuba." She mentioned that Tito kept a little notebook in which he planned to jot down his inquiries for the Chinese and his wish lists for sites to visit in China. It appears that he had made repeated attempts to strike up conversations with Asian tourists who passed his door, but they all thought he was strange and quickly left. In Tito's notebook, you can still see Chinese expressions like "How are you?" "When will you leave?" and "When are you planning to return?" Tito's story has moved many Chinese internet users, who are rallying to help him get a plane ticket to China or locate his Chinese friends. In September 1961, the Cuban Air Force chose 223 young pilots (average age less than 20) to study in China. They were among the first international students to come to China, as the Chinese netizens learnt later. A Chinese netizen later claimed on social media that his grandfather was Tito's teacher at the time. The story of Tito has gone viral on Chinese social media. The official account of the Chinese PLA Air Force left a comment under Tito’s video, stating that they had been attempting to get in touch with Tito. The comment said that the Chinese PLA will never forget a friend like Tito and that their friendship will transcend space and time. Today is the Lantern Festival in China, a time for family reunions. The Chinese embassy in Cuba invited Tito and other Cuban pilots who had studied in China for their youth to attend the festival feast, where they reminisced and sang many Chinese songs together. The Chinese have an old proverb: "滴水之恩当涌泉相报" (A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring), being grateful is a virtue in Chinese culture; we always give back when someone helps us. The life and work of Canadian surgeon Norman Bethune is a topic included in Chinese school curricula; his heroic contributions to our cause during World War II are emphasized in our textbooks, and his legacy lives on in China. John Rabe, a German merchant who rescued some 250,000 Chinese people from the Nanjing Massacre, and his family are still very much loved and respected by the Chinese people. Thomas Rabe, a doctor at the medicinal Faculty of Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, southwest Germany, and grandson of John Rabe, sent a plea to the Chinese embassy in Germany in March 2020 for medicinal supplies to help his hospital battle the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, with all of the necessary assistance and coordination, medical supplies given from various sources, including medicines, protective suits, and masks, arrived in Germany from China. Chinese embassy staff raced from Berlin to Heidelberg, a distance of 700 kilometers, to expedite the delivery of supplies to the Heidelberg administration, the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, and Dr. Thomas Rabe.

I haven’t had the chance to attend one of these events myself, but I would definitely love to talk about how WilliamEst carry themselves in them. First of all, they are both people who truly love their fans and are genuinely excited to see how they grow together with them over time. Simply seeing more people than they expected is something that must make them incredibly happy. One way they show this love is by taking the time to greet every single fan. Many might say, “it’s something simple,” but it really isn’t. It requires coordination and security, both for them and for their fans. And the fact that they still choose to do it—even if it means extending the event—speaks volumes about how deeply they care. For WilliamEst, it’s important that all their fans get to see them. Because let’s be honest: being physically close to them doesn’t always mean you actually get to see them clearly or interact with them. It’s like having them right there, yet somehow still far away. I know both of them are aware of this, and that’s why they try to find ways to share at least a few seconds with each fan. Est talks with the organizers to plan a walk around the venue that allows them to greet all the fans, while William shares his idea of the route with LYKN so that every fan has the chance to see them or say hello. And you know what the best part is? It’s never just a rushed greeting. They take their time—to greet, to interact, to look into the cameras of almost every fan, even doing the poses the fans ask for. That’s what makes the interaction feel even more genuine. WilliamEst are the kind of people who don’t just stand on a stage above their fans—they step down, close the distance, and remind everyone that they see them, appreciate them, and are grateful for every single person who came to support them.

#WATCH | Prema Wangjom Thongdok from Arunachal Pradesh claims that Chinese immigration officials at Shanghai Pudong Airport declared her Indian passport invalid and delayed her travel to Japan. She says, "... When I tried to question them and ask them what the issue was, they said, 'Arunachal is not part of India' and started mocking and laughing and saying things like 'you should apply for the Chinese passport, you're Chinese, you're not Indian..." "I am an Indian citizen residing in the UK for about 14 years, and I was travelling from London to Japan via a transit in Shanghai... One of the officials from the Chinese immigration came over and singled me out of the queue. I asked her what was happening, and she went on to say, 'Arunachal- not India, China-China, your visa is not acceptable. Your passport is invalid'... When I tried to question them and ask them what the issue was, they said, 'Arunachal is not part of India' and started mocking and laughing and saying things like 'you should apply for the Chinese passport, you're Chinese, you're not Indian'... I have transited through Shanghai in the past with no issues at all. I couldn't get in touch with my family for a very long time... The airline staff of China Eastern and about two other immigration officers were speaking in their language and saying and pointing out and saying Arunachal and laughing and calling it China, not India. That was a very humiliating, questionable behaviour from the immigration staff as well as the airline staff... I called up the Shanghai and Beijing Indian embassies and within an hour, the Indian officials came to the airport, got me some food and spoke through the issues with them and helped me get out of the country. A very long ordeal, 18 hours, but glad that I'm out of there..." she said
