Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions presents "The Rise of Robots in China," with speaker Hongbin Li and moderator Scott Rozelle, co-directors of Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions.
China’s production and adoption of robotic technology have accelerated rapidly in recent years, surpassing Japan, US, and Germany. Stanford professor Hongbin Li and a team of scholars draw on multi-year field research data to show fresh insights into China’s aggressive push into automation-specifically, the increasing use of robots-to maintain its status as the “world’s factory.” His analysis offers an unprecedented look at what’s happening at the factory level, and fresh insight into how rising labor costs, an aging population and government policies are reshaping Chinese manufacturing.
