China to spend $400 billion on robotics in 2026, the U.S.’s CHIPS Act spent $50 billion over years
“In 2024, Chinese factories installed roughly 300,000 new industrial robots. American factories installed 30,000. Today, there are now more than 2 million industrial robots working in Chinese factories. In the U.S., the number is one-fifth that,” says Rush Doshi, director of CFR’s China Strategy Initiative and assistant professor at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. “China is investing in the future, it’s pulling ahead in research publications and patent filings, and pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the robotics sector.”
