The humanoid robot "works" attracts attention, Zhang Xue's motorcycle becomes a check-in point for Internet celebrities, and "China's No. 1 Exhibition" attracts fans with its strength!

The 140th Canton Fair is being held in Guangzhou. At this exhibition, the service robot area continues to be "hot". Zhang Xue's motorcycle has become an Internet celebrity check-in point due to international competitions. The international medical service area, such as AI pulse diagnosis and ear acupuncture pressure, has attracted overseas merchants to experience it.

Recently, reporters from China News Service visited three popular check-in points at the Canton Fair to see how "China's No. 1 Exhibition" can attract fans with its strength!

China's embodied intelligent robot: from "can dance" to "can work"

At this Canton Fair, reporters saw overseas merchants queuing up at the entrance of the service robot area just to get a glimpse of Chinese robots.

At the exhibition site, many humanoid robots were busy "working", twisting light bulbs, sorting express delivery, and picking up goods... They were no longer just "performers" on the stage, but really started to "go to work". Overseas merchants took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

At the booth of Guangzhou Ligong Industrial, the omnidirectional wheeled humanoid robot "Lidang F1-S" was performing assembly operations, while the "Lidang F1" on the side simulated picking up products from supermarket shelves.

"Our company's products focus on three major scenarios: industry, laboratory and unmanned retail. They can be used in factories to carry heavy objects, load and unload materials, and can also be used in drug testing and smart retail." Cao Yuran, head of the marketing department of Guangzhou Lagong Industrial, said.

At Pacini's booth, a humanoid robot was twisting a light bulb. It moved precisely, and the light bulb lit up instantly after it was screwed. It is understood that the robot's dexterous hand is equipped with a multi-dimensional tactile sensor, with a minimum accuracy of 0.005N, and can sense subtle changes in force like a feather touch.

CVTE demonstrated another kind of "hand" capability. At its booth at the Canton Fair, a seven-axis flexible robotic arm demonstrated a factory assembly line scene: the vision system accurately identified the pins and holes on the PCB board and completed 0.1 mm level plug-in and pull-out operations.

In addition, the seven-axis flexible robotic arm also demonstrated on-site the recognition of express delivery bill information on the assembly line, and automatically turned the package face up, replacing manual repetitive sorting actions.

From doing backflips during meetings to working in factories, Chinese humanoid robots are completing an identity transformation. For global buyers, the service robot area at the Canton Fair is the best window to observe the progress of China's embodied intelligence industry.

An overseas buyer from the Philippines told reporters that it was his first time attending the Canton Fair and he made a special trip to the service robot area. He said that China is the world leader in robots and may provide robot services to the world in the future. He wanted to come over and see if there were any suitable products that could be introduced to the Philippines.

Zhang Xue Motorcycle appeared with the same model as the champion

At this Canton Fair, the motorcycle exhibition area is one of the most popular sections, and the flow of people to and from Zhang Xue’s motorcycle booth is almost constant. The championship racing car 820RR and the new MX450 and 450 rally competition cars are neatly displayed. Buyers from home and abroad gathered around the exhibition car, leaning over to observe the frame, engine and electronic control components, and took out their mobile phones to take photos and records.

Huang Qin, Minister of Foreign Trade of Zhang Xue Motorcycles, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that there was an endless stream of visitors to the booth of this Canton Fair, and the purchasers were mainly from South America, Europe and Southeast Asia. Relying on the outstanding results of winning 6 WSBK events and being on the podium many times, the brand's international communication effect has been highlighted, driving export sales to increase compared with expectations.

According to reports, the brand's overseas business just started last year, with only a small number of sample cars exported. This year, exports have achieved leapfrog growth. Zhang Xue Motorcycles has received export orders of 7,500 units from January to September this year, with a full-year target of 10,000 units. At this Canton Fair, the brand exhibited two major new products: the MX450 track off-road vehicle, which will compete in the MXGP World Cross-Country Motorcycle Championship, which will have two events in China next year; and the 450 rally competition version, which is planned to compete in the Dakar Rally in January to compete in the world's top and most difficult rally event.

Huang Qin said that the brand has established a mature export business, logistics and after-sales service system. On the large-displacement motorcycle track, future products will continue to iterate in the direction of intelligence, electronic control upgrades, lightweighting, and branding.

When it comes to China’s overseas motorcycle ecology, Huang Qin believes that the industry’s supporting support system is increasingly improving. The motorcycle export licensing system filters out low-quality products, and industry organizations, chambers of commerce, and competent authorities assist companies in completing overseas certifications and overseas market research and judgment, and guide domestic brands to steadily go overseas. Judging from industry data, China's exports of large-displacement motorcycles continue to rise.

Guan Guobin, general manager of Taizhou Qianxin Locomotive Co., Ltd., also shared his first-line market insights. At this exhibition, Brazilian and Moroccan merchants had the largest number of inquiries, and there was an endless stream of customers from the Middle East, South America, and Africa. Compared with traditional oil vehicles, overseas merchants are more interested in new energy vehicles, and oil price fluctuations are an important factor. The company makes customized adjustments to vehicle speeds and parameters according to different countries' terrain regulations and usage scenarios, develops new energy vehicles specifically for agriculture and farms, and shifts from simply selling single products to providing a complete set of solutions.

"Many of the world's big-name motorcycle accessories are purchased from China. China's molds, parts manufacturing and cost advantages are difficult to replace globally." Guan Guobin said that the company insists on exporting its own brands overseas, and applies for relevant certifications in the EU and US markets under its own brands. He judged that South America and Africa have a long-term strong demand for two-wheeled transportation, and the market potential is still worth looking forward to.

The latest statistics from the China Motorcycle Chamber of Commerce show that from January to August this year, China's motorcycle exports contributed significantly to industry growth, and the high-end transformation continued to deepen.

Thiombiano David, a French buyer who specializes in the African market, believes that Chinese electric two-wheelers have outstanding cost performance and attractive product design, and he is optimistic about their sales potential in Africa.

"Coming to China for medical treatment" has become a hot topic: Canton Fair sets up first international medical service area

In recent years, following “Travel in China” and “Buy in China”, “Chinese Medicine” has also become a popular choice for foreign patients. As "China's No. 1 Exhibition", the Canton Fair, which has a history of 70 years, no longer only exports goods, but also begins to provide high-quality international medical and tourism services.

The 140th Canton Fair set up a special area for international medical services for the first time, and 19 medical institutions jointly participated in the exhibition. At the same time, it innovatively created a dual-scenario model of "exhibition in the exhibition area + experience outside the exhibition hall", and launched a number of high-quality international medical experience routes for the first time.

Tui Na massage, traditional Chinese medicine scalp therapy, cupping and acupuncture... The reporter saw on the 17th in this zone that many overseas buyers were experiencing the special services launched by Chinese medical institutions.

Each hospital made a concentrated appearance and showed off its strengths. Among them, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University focused on displaying TCM rehabilitation technology, kidney disease center intelligent monitoring, digestive endoscopy intelligent screening and cutting-edge brain-computer interface technology; Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine displayed Lingnan famous prescriptions, Lingnan ointments, traditional Chinese medicine diets and innovative cross-border dispensing in-hospital preparations, and promoted the human body magnetic induction sleep apnea risk screener; Qianhai Life Guangzhou General Hospital launched an exclusive medical package for foreigners, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan customers, providing free experiences of medical cosmetic skin examination, basic oral examination, etc.

The innovative medical devices and technologies on display attracted much attention. The pulmonary nodule puncture surgical robot developed by Guangdong True Health Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. relies on artificial intelligence, image recognition path planning and respiratory tracking systems to achieve one needle for complex lesions, and has completed more than 8,000 puncture operations. "Robots can very well solve the clinical pain points faced during puncture surgeries." said Li Jizhao, the company's public affairs director.

The appeal of Chinese medical care to international patients is rising. In recent years, with the liberalization of policies and breakthroughs in China's medical technology, the number of people entering the country for medical treatment has increased significantly. A report released by the National Health Commission shows that key domestic foreign-related hospitals will receive 1.28 million international patients in 2025, an increase of 73.6% from three years ago. Among them, the annual number of patients from Southeast Asia who go to China for medical treatment exceeds 150,000, the number of patients from Europe and the United States has doubled year-on-year, and the number of tourists from the Middle East, Central Asia, and Russia is also growing rapidly.

"China's international medical reputation is rapidly improving. In the past, Asia's cross-border medical market was dominated by Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia; in recent years, more and more overseas patients have taken the initiative to seek medical treatment in China. The core attraction comes from domestic excellent medical technology, cutting-edge equipment, high cost performance, and high-quality innovative drug resources." said Hu Hang, Chairman and CEO of Fosun Health.

Since this year, Guangdong has introduced a series of supporting policies around international medical services. At the end of March this year, the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission announced the first batch of 25 international medical service pilot hospitals.

As one of the pilot hospitals, Chen Hai, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the hospital relies on Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine as its core competitiveness and has created an international medical service model led by traditional Chinese medicine and coordinated by Chinese and Western medicine. In 2025, the hospital will receive 80,000 patients from abroad, an increase of 17% compared with the same period in 2024. These patients mainly come from Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States.

At this Canton Fair, Guangdong's first one-stop digital medical tourism service platform "GZ Medigo" APP was officially launched, aiming to provide overseas users with online consultation, specialist appointment, payment, follow-up and related supporting services. Feng Yunshan, deputy general manager of the Guangzhou International Medical Tourism Service Center, said that the "Suikang Travel" APP has been launched on overseas Appstores for download, and a multi-language version has been launched.
