China will continue speeding up its effort and enhancing cooperation in science and technology innovation, providing more public goods for the world and making greater contributions to global science and technology and economic development, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Friday.

Morgan Stanley said in its recently released Robot Almanac that China has pulled far ahead in the race to build humanoid robots, and the total number of related patents issued by China over the past five years topped the world. The analysis also highlighted the cost advantage China brings to the global humanoid robot supply chain.

In response at a regular press briefing, spokesperson Lin Jian said, "Innovated in China" has become a global buzzword for the year 2025.

China has broken into the top ten of the Global Innovation Index for the first time and has been leading the world for three consecutive years with the most clusters in the global top 100 innovation clusters, Lin noted. "From the launch of large-scale AI models to the deep integration of AI and robots, China's achievements in sci-tech innovation have dazzled the world," he said.

Noting that innovation drives China's robust economic growth, boosts global economic recovery and enhances the well-being of people of all countries, he said China's technology and solution of building high-speed railways and smart ports have been introduced to the world, helping other countries build better infrastructure.

Meanwhile, China's BeiDou services cover more than 140 countries and regions in areas such as disaster early warning, transportation and agriculture, and the China-Brazil Science and Technology Innovation Center has made clean energy accessible for remote areas.

China also shared with Mongolia, Saudi Arabia and other countries its technologies in combating desertification, he said, adding that the country's smart agriculture has enabled Egypt to better cope with water shortages and food security challenges.

Pursuing innovation-driven development and accelerating the cultivation of new growth drivers is one of the major tasks envisioned by the Central Economic Work Conference held earlier this month, Lin noted.
