CCTV News: In 2024, my country's foreign trade growth scale reached 2.1 trillion yuan. What new momentum is hidden behind these increments? At the beginning of the new year, when the reporter visited enterprises in many places, he found that my country's new products, new business forms and new brands were emerging, and the foreign trade volume contained in "new" continued to rise.

Walking in the hands, backflips, and even Thomas spinning—these difficult movements that once only appeared in film and television special effects are now easily achieved by robot dogs. Not long ago, the reporter saw this new robot dog at a company in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

The company's head Huang Jiawei introduced that they initially used intensive training of AI to give robot dogs some very excellent performance, such as the current four-legged standing can be transformed into two-legged upside down. In the past, it might take a very long time to study code earlier, but now through intensive training of AI, robot dogs are getting stronger and stronger.

The relevant person in charge of the company introduced that these manifestations come from the optimization of motion control and the empowerment of AI technology, and these advantages have also made the products stand out in the global market. The sales of four-legged robots produced by this company account for more than 60% of the global market share, and the business of general humanoid robots covers more than half of the world's countries and regions.

Containing "new" volume is becoming the password for the "increment" of my country's foreign trade. In the production workshop of a "national manufacturing single champion" enterprise in Shenzhen, workers are working hard to make digital hand-painted boards exported overseas. In early January 2025, the company received nearly 4,000 orders from e-commerce platforms in the United States and the UAE, and all of them needed to be delivered before the New Year.

The company's head Xu Hefeng introduced that their hand-painted board is thin and portable, and is widely popular on foreign e-commerce platforms, with sales increasing by 40% last year.

Xu Hefeng told reporters that since the establishment of the company, he has been deeply engaged in the field of digital painting. Only after hundreds or even thousands of technical polishing and verification have been carried out, problems such as brushstroke accuracy and signal transmission stability have been overcome. Up to now, the company has obtained 54 invention patents, and its foreign trade export volume reaches 340 million yuan in 2024.

my country's foreign trade export structure continues to be optimized, the product's "new" meaning is more sufficient, and new products with more high-tech attributes are accelerating their "going overseas". In 2024, my country's exports of electric vehicles, 3D printers and industrial robots achieved growth of 13.1%, 32.8% and 45.2% respectively.

Liang Ming, director of the Foreign Trade Research Institute of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, introduced that in 2024, the summary of foreign trade can be said to be "quality improvement and quantity stability", and the contribution is gradually increasing. my country's trade structure is constantly being optimized, and its overall innovation capabilities are steadily and significantly improving. Innovation has become a source of vitality for China's foreign trade.
