Humanoid robots developed by China's Unitree Robotics, which stole the show with their eye-catching martial arts and parkour skills at the country's annual CMG Spring Festival Gala a week ago, has given another impressive Chinese Kung Fu performance at the Temple of Heaven, a well-known landmark in Beijing.

In a video released on Monday by Unitree, 50 humanoid robots in red vests assembled in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the main building at the Temple of Heaven, where they demonstrated their Kung Fu moves in perfect synchrony, such as backflipping, cartwheeling, and high-speed kickboxing.

The humanoid robots, along with those from several other Chinese robotics companies, grabbed the limelight during the 2026 CMG Spring Festival Gala, the world's most watched television program, which was broadcast on Feb 16, the eve of the Chinese New Year.

Performing alongside a group of young human actors, the robots executed complex martial arts routines, leapt from trampolines, and climbed walls, stunning viewers who tuned in from around the world.

Like their headline-grabbing performance at the gala, these humanoid robots marked a sharp contrast from what Unitree showcased at last year's gala, which featured less advanced versions of the robots twirling handkerchiefs in a folk dance.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) starting Tuesday.

The move follows the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Friday, which found the Trump administration's broad use of IEEPA to impose tariffs unlawful.

The CBP also notes that the suspension does not affect other tariffs currently in effect from the Trump administration.

Additionally, on Friday, following the Supreme Court's ruling, Trump announced a 10 percent import tariff on global goods for 150 days under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to replace the tariffs deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court.

On Saturday, Trump posted on social media that he would raise the rate of the "global import tariff" on imported goods to the United States, which he announced the previous day, from 10 percent to 15 percent.
