Shanghai-based electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft developer AutoFlight said that the government's continuous support since 2024 has injected confidence into the industry, attracting more talent, participants, and resources into the low-altitude economy, according to a statement sent to the Global Times on Wednesday.

In addition, the 2025 Government Work Report vows to "establish a mechanism to increase funding for industries of the future and foster industries such as embodied AI among others, and vigorously develop next-generation intelligent terminals and smart manufacturing equipment, including intelligent robots."

Embodied AI and intelligent robots are new keywords in the 2025 Government Work Report. Zhou Jian, founder and CEO of Shenzhen-based robotics firm UBTECH, told the Global Times in a statement on Wednesday that humanoid robots, as the optimal carrier for AI and the ultimate form of embodied AI, represent a forward-looking field in developing new quality productive forces.

Zhou said that the report outlined a development pathway for Chinese humanoid robotics enterprises. "We will accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces and empower new industrialization with high-level technological advancements," he said.

Pursuing integrated advancements in technological and industrial innovation and vigorously developing modern services are underlined in the report. Tang Bin, founder and CEO of Chinese payment platform YEEPAY, told the Global Times that the content of the report will further guide the development direction of the company, promoting the integration of sci-tech innovation into people's livelihoods and businesses' production.
