In the future, it might just be humanoid robots doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.

Putin arrives in Beijing to ask Xi for money and a new gas pipeline Talks between Putin and Xi Jinping have begun in Beijing. One of the key topics is “Power of Siberia 2” — a pipeline through which Russia wants to redirect gas to China that was originally intended for Europe. Putin said that relations between Moscow and Beijing have reached an “unprecedented level,” and that trade turnover has grown more than 30 times over the past 25 years. Xi, in turn, spoke about a “fair world order” and joint efforts to counter instability and hegemony. The visit comes shortly after China and the United States agreed to ease tensions following their trade war. Against this backdrop, Moscow is increasingly trying to present its alliance with Beijing as its main foreign policy pillar after the invasion of Ukraine.

Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics(X-Humanoid) just closed a massive 700M RMB ($97M) funding round. 💰🤖 They’re also teasing the "TienKung" 3.0, coming off the back of some wild performance milestones from their current fleet. ➤ The Funding: Backed by big names like Baidu and Beijing’s AI Industry Fund, this round shifts the center from R&D into serious commercial scaling. ➤ Proven Track Record: Their "TienKung Ultra" already bagged the first-ever humanoid half-marathon and holds a 21.5s 100m sprint record. ➤ Industry Ready: Their TianYi 2.0 platform is already hitting the floor in factories and warehouses through partnerships with companies like Cummins and Bayer. ➤ What’s Next: This cash is going straight into making their "TienKung" and "HuiSi" platforms fully autonomous and ready for real-world labor. It’s clear they aren't just building lab projects anymore—these bots are headed for the assembly line.

The 2nd Robot Marathon has officially begun in Beijing. This year feels different. 1. Around 40% of teams are running fully autonomous, no remote control. 2. Top robots are already hitting ~10s per 100 meter, getting surprisingly close to human sprint limits. 3. You can also see much better safety design upfront. Way more structured than last year’s chaos. 4. Still, failures happen. Marathon distance pushes motors, structure, and control to the limit. What works in short demos breaks down over longer runs. Overall, a big step forward, but also a reminder that real-world robotics is still far from the polished demo videos you get fed from companies.

Beijing is 120 km from Tianjin. High-speed trains take only 30 minutes to complete the trip. Ticket: 54.5 RMB. During peak hours every day, trains depart every five minutes, turning the high-speed rail into a subway. This is China’s first high-speed rail line opened in 2008. When I was a kid, there were no high-speed trains in China, and I frequently traveled on such express trains from Tianjin to Beijing. It took around 1.5 hours for the trip.

🇹🇼🇨🇳 Taiwan's coast guard has successfully pushed back four Chinese ships that entered a closed water area in the south of the island without permission, — Reuters. Beijing called the dispatch of the ships a "special maritime operation" in response to the start of negotiations between Japan and the Philippines on the delimitation of their maritime borders. China believes that the process near Taiwan "will affect the territorial interests of the PRC." Over the past two weeks, Taipei has recorded an abnormal increase in aggressive activity by the Chinese coast guard.

Today, we’re pulling back more of the curtain on the in-house teams and technology that will bring the Ford Universal Electric Vehicle to life. More than half of our aero team came from the Formula 1 world, where air is either your greatest ally or most punishing enemy - and every curve matters. From the sculpted roofline to the underbody, our teams are chasing physics in search of longer range and lower cost for our customers. Our new mid-size electric truck’s aerodynamic efficiency is more than 15% better than any other pickup truck on the market today. “To the air, it’s no longer a truck”. From a zonal architecture and 48V low-voltage system, to the new in-house E-Box, and smaller and lighter wire harnesses, the team is obsessing over every detail with UEV. Our aim is to have a family of vehicles that we expect to compete on price with the best in the world, including gas vehicles. And they will be FUN to drive!

The total lunar eclipse started at 23:28 on Sunday evening and conclude at 04:55 on Monday morning, Beijing time. The totality phase, known as the "red moon," will last from 01:31 to 02:53, with a duration of one hour and 22 minutes. "A lunar eclipse is rare. It occurs when the earth moves right in the middle of the moon and the sun, blocking the sunlight from shining on the moon. The total lunar eclipse this time will last for a relatively long time as it will enter the earth's shadow quite deeply. " said by an expert at Beijing Planetarium. This eclipse can be observed with the naked eye under good weather conditions.
