I'm John Batchel. I welcome Jack Burnham of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy

is watching the People's Republic of China in its competition with the U.S. and our allies in Europe.

Robotics.

In February of this year, wrote its reports, on the most watched TV show in China.

The annual CCTV Spring Festival featured dancing robots, spectacularly dancing robots

in unison.

No chorus line could compete.

However, four companies are startups that produce these and other robotics, not just for dancing on television, but also for

manufacturing and defense. Jack is here to help us understand the development of these humanoids.

The four companies are Unitary Robotics, Galbot, G-A-L-B-O-T, Noatex, N-O-T-I-T-I-X, and Magic Lab.

All four are Chinese-related companies.

Maybe the state, maybe not.

Unitary is especially of interest.

Two members of the U.S. Senate, two very prominent members, the minority leader, Mr. Schumer, and the outspoken, Mr. Cotton,

of the Republican Party, have moved legislatures to make certain that no element of these

humanoid robots enters into the supply chain that comes to the United States. But first, the dancing robots.

Jack, a very good evening to you. I did see a clip of this some time ago. I'd forgotten about it.

It's very impressive, although it's a little strange, because a dancing robot is not quite the same

as what Isaac Asimov imagined with I robot. That was my introduction

to the laws of robotics. But it would appear that China is following the same avenue that it did

for the success of its EVs. Are these legs instead of tires? Are these heads instead of engines? Is that what we're witnessing? Evie in another form?

Good evening to you, Jack. Thank you for having me. I think the comparison to EVs is really interesting
