Chinese premier Li Keqiang took a visit to Shenzhen and Dongguan during Oct 12th~13th, 2016 and attended the 2nd National Mass Innovation and Entrepreneurship Week activities with theme “Develop New Economy & Cultivate New Energy”, after his three-day attendance of Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in Macao. The significant technology event is held each October in scheduled cities in China.

During his tour in Shenzhen and Dongguan, the premier encouraged bold imagination and solid work from businesses to transfer their ideas into concrete outcomes, and inspected a number of high-tech products such as monorail cars, precision moulds, robotics, etc. Sanbot service robot, designed and created by QIHAN Technology, is one of the shining high-end intelligent humanoid robot, attracting Li’s high attention.

The commercial assistant robot has widely been used in public squares, airports, restaurants, schools, “Internet+” in China, such as agriculture and customs inspections customized, etc, and has been highly approved and praised by the Chinese government.

Li also chaired the Global Entrepreneurial Leaders Forum, during which business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Alibaba founder Jack Ma and Tencent CEO Pony Ma, shared their points on China's innovation.

With intensified government efforts, such as financial support and administrative assistance for start-ups, China is closing the innovation gap and is hoping it will invigorate the broader economy. Li called for further efforts to deliver China's "Made in China 2025" blueprint, which aims to shift the country away from low-end manufacturing to more value-added production.

With such supports and assistance for Chinese government, and in order to adapt to the markets’ requirement, Sanbot robot will be more intelligent and march into oversea markets faster and faster.
