중국이 방위산업전시회에서 로봇 개와 인공지능(AI) 기반의 수중 기뢰 제거 시스템을 포함한 첨단 군사 기술을 선보였다.
4월 중순 열린 '2026 청두 방위기술산업전시회'에서는 잠수함 어뢰 발사관에서 발사할 수 있도록 설계된 자율주행 수중 로봇이 공개됐다. 이 로봇은 고정밀 심해 탐사와 해저 지형 매핑을 수행하며, 대형 모델의 경우 수심 3,000미터까지 도달할 수 있다. 관영 CCTV에 따르면 이 로봇에는 수중 표적을 탐지 및 무력화하는 모듈을 장착할 수 있으며, 기뢰와 같은 위협을 제거하기 위한 무기 모듈 탑재도 가능하다. 방송은 이를 두고 "외부 소프트웨어 지원이나 인간의 조종 없이 스스로 판단하는 '두뇌'를 가진 자율주행 수중 로봇"이라고 평가했다. 또한 이번 전시회에는 중국 인민해방군이 널리 운용하고 있는 전술 로봇 개와 로봇 늑대도 함께 전시되었다.

The output of China's core artificial intelligence industry exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan ($165 billion) in 2025, with more than 6,200 companies operating in the field, said Li Lecheng, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The remarks came after the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing on Thursday.
China's Ministry of Transport and three other government bodies have released an action plan to deeply integrate artificial intelligence into the shipping industry by 2027, including at least three pilot zones and more than 100 smart vessels. The strategy aims to bolster maritime operations and address bottlenecks amid global competition. By 2030, Beijing seeks to fully master key technologies and achieve a globally advanced level.

China’s navy lacks the advanced underwater equipment and operational readiness needed for salvage operations in carrier-based aircraft crashes, a military magazine tied to the country’s largest state-owned shipbuilder has warned. This risks exposing sensitive technology, especially as ongoing construction of advanced carriers extends the PLA Navy’s operational range far beyond China’s coastal waters.
Galgotias University has responded to online criticism regarding claims that it developed and showcased a Chinese-made robotic dog as its own at the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi. The university clarified that it never claimed to have developed the technology. The controversy involves a Unitree robotic dog.

China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor that can be carried on a truck and generate up to 10 megawatts of energy, enough to power a medium-sized AI data centre, a leading scientist said. The reactor, in development for several years, is described as the “world’s first 10-megawatt vehicle-mounted nuclear power unit”.
China is considering transitioning to an all-nuclear submarine fleet, prompting discussions on whether Japan will follow suit. Tokyo faces numerous hurdles, including personnel issues and potential redundancies.
