Why We Built This

China is at the center of the global humanoid robotics revolution. Billions of dollars are flowing into dozens of startups, established players are racing to ship products, and government policy is accelerating the industry at every level. Yet most of this activity is invisible to the English-speaking world.

Tech Buzz China has covered China's tech ecosystem since 2018 through our podcast, newsletter, and research. We built this tracker because we believe the humanoid robotics wave coming out of China will be one of the most consequential technology stories of the decade — and it deserves a dedicated, comprehensive resource.

About Tech Buzz China

Tech Buzz China is the leading English-language platform for understanding China's technology ecosystem. Founded by Rui Ma, TBC provides deep, contextualized analysis through our podcast, newsletter, research reports, and curated trips to China.

We help investors, operators, and policymakers understand what's really happening in Chinese tech — beyond the headlines. Our audience includes venture capitalists, corporate strategists, government officials, and technologists who need accurate, timely intelligence on China's innovation landscape.

What We Track

Every company building humanoid robots in China — across all form factors from bipedal humanoids to wheeled and upper-body robots. We cover funding rounds, product specs, key milestones, supply chain relationships, and competitive dynamics.

Data is sourced from public filings, press releases, industry databases, and our own research network in China.

Methodology

We maintain this tracker through continuous monitoring of Chinese-language sources including company announcements, government filings, patent databases, industry conferences, and our network of contacts across the robotics ecosystem. All funding figures are converted to USD at the exchange rate at the time of announcement.
