This Saturday on Trending China: Chloe Feng and Brian Wong explore the Chinese mainland’s low-altitude economy.
Drones are common - but what about a drone big enough to ride in? Or a flying car that lifts off and flies without a pilot? Once sci-fi, this is moving closer to daily life.
The technology is eVTOL: electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Fully electric, they hover like helicopters and fly forward like planes. China sees the low-altitude economy - airspace below 1,000 metres - as a strategic priority alongside AI and quantum technology.
How will flying taxis change our lives? How soon for ordinary consumers? What challenges remain? Tune in to find out!

This week, Chloe Feng and Brian Wong explores the booming world of companion robots-hyper-realistic machines designed to offer "unconditional love" and lifelong presence. But this isn't just about companionship. Since humanoid robots stole the show at the Spring Festival Gala, the Chinese mainland's robotics sector has surged, with companies racing to embrace "embodied Al," a government-backed initiative to build smarter, more functional machines. Also joining the discussion is Professor Mark Greeven from IMD, who will share his expert insights on what this means for innovation, society, and the future of human-robot relationships.
