The World Intelligence Expo 2026, which kicked off Thursday in north China's Tianjin Municipality, brings together over 700 exhibitors to showcase cutting-edge technologies, products and application scenarios in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Co-hosted by the municipal governments of Tianjin and Chongqing, the four-day expo is themed "Intelligence: Extensive Development Space, Sustainable Growth Driver." It features seven exhibition zones covering embodied AI, core AI technologies, low-altitude economy and commercial space exploration, with the total exhibition area reaching 130,000 square meters.

The event has attracted leading companies, including Fortune Global 500 firms and top domestic enterprises in the AI sector.

During the event, over 200 new products, technologies, achievements and research reports will be released, covering embodied AI, intelligent connected vehicles, low-altitude economy, smart manufacturing and smart living.

"Many of these intelligent products and technologies are debuting either domestically or globally, moving from the lab into everyday life and industrial use. With more replicable and tangible application scenarios, they are poised to drive industrial growth," said Shen Maomao, director of the Research Office of the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology.

In addition to its main exhibitions, this year's expo will also host a number of featured intelligent competitions to showcase cutting-edge technologies.

"So much technology, so much hope here. I think it's very important that we need a communication platform to come together, to have an exchange and to speak about the future. I think everybody has to come here to see what's going on. With Europe and China, we can have a lot to improve," said Jens de Buhr, managing director of JDB Holding.

Nearly 100 cutting-edge technological achievements in fields such as smart cities and smart living are being unveiled at this year's expo, highlighting the latest progress in the intelligent industry.

Data shows that China's core AI industry exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan (about 177 billion U.S. dollars) in 2025, with more than 6,200 companies. AI adoption is accelerating across industries.

"The World Intelligence Expo serves as a window, presenting the latest technologies and practical solutions. By displaying them, the event helps accelerate the spread of innovation, prompting more businesses to embrace new technologies," said Liu Gang, director of the Institute of Economics at Nankai University.

The expo will bring together more than 500 professional buyer teams for signing events and networking, fostering collaboration among government, businesses, universities, and research institutes. The expo aims to unblock industrial and supply chains and speed up the conversion of technologies into products and practical applications.

China ready to work with Brazil to further expand overall China-Latin America cooperation: Chinese FM

China has always been a reliable friend to Latin American and Caribbean countries and stands ready to work with regional countries, including Brazil, to further deepen and expand overall China-Latin America cooperation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during the fifth China-Brazil Foreign Ministerial-Level Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in Beijing.

Wang said that in recent years, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, China-Brazil relations have become increasingly global, strategic and far-reaching in influence.

"Practical cooperation across all fields has been steadily upgraded, and the two peoples have never been closer," he added.

Wang said the two sides should fully implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, continue to advance the building of a China-Brazil community with a shared future, jointly counter various external challenges, and build greater synergy for each other's modernization drives and the unity and self-improvement of Global South countries.

Noting that China appreciates the Brazilian government's long-standing commitment to the one-China principle, Wang said China supports Brazil in safeguarding its national sovereignty, upholding independence and autonomy, and achieving greater development.

The two sides should advance exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, tourism, sports, sub-national areas, youth, media and other fields, Wang said, adding that it is important to strengthen communication and coordination under multilateral mechanisms including the United Nations and BRICS, earnestly implement the four major global initiatives, and promote the development of a more just and equitable global governance system.

Vieira stated that Brazil will always adhere to the one-China principle. He said Brazil looks forward to consolidating strategic mutual trust with China, deepening practical cooperation, cementing public support for bilateral ties, and achieving common prosperity.

Noting that both Brazil and China are important forces championing multilateralism and free trade, Vieira said Brazil is ready to work with China to enhance multilateral coordination, jointly advance the reform of the global governance system, uphold the authority of the United Nations, and promote international fairness and justice.
