Discussion keeps the world turning.
Hello, welcome to Roundtable,
where we serve up piping hot debates on the issues that sizzle in China and beyond.
I'm Neil Holin.
When we looked back at this year's programming, one pattern was impossible to ignore.
Nearly half of our stories were somehow related to technology.
Not because tech dominated headlines, but because it kept showing up everywhere else.
In industry, mobility, healthcare, and even outer space.
2025 was the year technology stopped being a sector and started becoming an environment.
From now on, Roundtable invites you to take a pause and listen,
listen to the sounds of the year 2025,
starting with today's episode focusing on the voices of tech breakthroughs of the year.
For today's show, I'm joined by Yixuan and Steve Hatherly.
Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion.
Over the course of the past year,
which technology breakthrough or application impressed you the most?
Is it the humanoid robots stepping into the spotlight,
embodied intelligence becoming a real-world conversation,
or new technology or new energy vehicles filling the roads with charging networks growing faster than ever?
From the ground beneath our feet all the way up to the sky with China's space missions pushing forward mission by mission.
