In early 2023, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung engaged with a humanoid robot during a forum in Shanghai, highlighting the increasing presence of technology in diplomatic visits. German Chancellor Merz and Serbian President Vucic also toured advanced factories, showcasing innovations in robotics and automation.
The significance of these visits lies in the shift from traditional cultural sites to modern technological achievements as focal points for foreign leaders. Factories like the SAIC-GM Ultium Super Factory in Shanghai and the future factory of Minth Group in Jiaxing demonstrate high levels of automation and efficiency, with robots performing critical tasks.
Looking ahead, the trend of 'industrial tourism' is expected to grow, with a notable increase in inbound orders for factory tours by mid-2026. This reflects a broader understanding of China's innovative capabilities and the establishment of a collaborative industrial network in the Yangtze River Delta, which is becoming a key player in global manufacturing and technology.
