China's economic hub of Shanghai has opened its door to the 15th China International Industry Fair. The five-day fair serves as the country's manufacturing benchmark, showcasing its most advanced improvements in technology.

It’s all about technology. The number of exhibitors has hit a new record this year, bringing together companies from 25 countries and regions. The exhibits’ growing clout1 is evident, as many companies chose to debut2 their latest products at the fair.

"We’ve received positive feedback from the fair in previous years. It is a great platform for us to present what we have. We brought our latest innovations this year, and many people have already come to ask about our product." Zhou Haijing, CEO of Nanjing Optical Valley Nuotai Precision Tech, said.

Apart from large industrial machinery3, the event’s annual robotics show attracts the most attention. And that’s not even close to the wide range of tasks they’re able to perform.

For passengers who like a softer ride, they can choose a program with gentler motions. And those who are fond of a more thrilling experience, they can select the extreme mode.

For thrill seekers or the tamed, a robot companion can do it all.

"It is so much fun. It is very exciting but I feel very stable."

"It is very thrilling. We just tried the extreme mode."

According to the International Federation4 of Robotics, by 2015, China will become the world’s largest robotics market. As an important part of high-end manufacturing, industrial robots play an indispensable role in China’s economy.

And there’s some aerospace5 technology as well, including a replica6 of the country’s first moon rover, which is set for launch in December this year. Those with a creative appetite are also in for a treat with this 3D printer that prints food. Any shape of chocolate is now just a click away.
