The 22nd China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning just leveled up its tech game! For the first time ever, artificial intelligence took center stage with a dedicated 10,000-square-meter pavilion – think of it as Coachella for robots and innovators 🎪💡. Over 3,200 companies from 60 countries and regions are flexing their latest breakthroughs, from smart factories to ocean-cleaning drones.
Why It’s Lit 🔥
Imagine walking through a hall where AI-powered chefs whip up regional delicacies, while self-driving delivery bots zoom past with samples. Nearly 200 tech giants and startups are showing off gadgets that feel straight out of Black Mirror (but way less creepy). Over half the exhibits use AI – proving it’s not just hype, but the future of global trade.
Beyond the Hype
While visitors snap selfies with robot baristas ☕, the expo’s real magic lies in bridging Southeast Asian and Chinese markets. New zones for the blue economy and foreign trade products hint at sustainable collabs ahead. As one exhibitor told us: "This isn’t just about cool tech – it’s about writing the rules for tomorrow’s economy."
