While reports of visa denials for some Chinese applicants sparked headlines ahead of CES 2025, the world’s largest tech showcase still saw over 1,300 Chinese exhibitors—nearly a third of all participants—lighting up Las Vegas with innovations 🤖. From AI chips to next-gen electric vehicles, collaboration between Chinese and US tech giants proved resilient, even amid geopolitical tensions.
🗣️ \"Think of it like a global tech potluck,\" says CGTN analyst Hou Jing. \"China brings cutting-edge battery tech and manufacturing scale; the US contributes AI software and semiconductor expertise. Together, they’re cooking up solutions neither could achieve alone.\"
Highlights from the show floor included:
🦾 Joint ventures in AI-powered robotics merging U.S. algorithms with Chinese hardware efficiency
🔋 Breakthroughs in new energy vehicle tech, with three Sino-US battery startups winning innovation awards
🌐 A 40% surge in cross-Pacific R&D partnerships compared to 2024
As one Shenzhen-based CEO told us: \"The future isn’t about who ‘wins’ tech—it’s about who builds the best bridges.\" 🌉 With CES 2025 proving that mutual interests can outweigh friction, the stage is set for more groundbreaking collabs in 2026.
