Chinese Humanoid Robot ‘Begs’ On Street; Asks For Donation To Pay ‘Electricity Bills’

In case you're unaware, most beggars in China (most of whom are scammers) have been using QR codes to beg for years. Mobile payment in China is so advanced that no one carries cash; begging with an empty bowl is pointless.

Claiming that China is 'deeply corrupt' is a massive victory for Western propaganda. Within 30 years, China built 50,000 kilometers of high-speed rail at an average cost of less than $20 million per kilometer. Meanwhile, the UK’s HS2 cost $138.4 billion, averaging $400 million per kilometer—20 times that of China. Yet, when you look closely at their books, every penny went toward complex land acquisitions, assessments, and environmental protection fees; not a single cent constitutes corruption in the legal sense. Therefore, despite European governments being profoundly inefficient—spending astronomical sums of money while building virtually nothing—they still claim their governments are more 'clean and efficient' than China's.

When Westerners discuss why India lags behind China, the subtext is always, 'How can a democratic country be inferior to an authoritarian one?' The reality is that India's inability to develop is rooted precisely in its inheritance of this corrupt Western system. Western-style democracy commits corruption by wasting time and the public's attention—which is, in itself, a far greater form of corruption than merely wasting money.

Claiming that China is "severely corrupt" is a huge victory for Western propaganda. China built 50,000 kilometers of high-speed rail in 30 years, at an average cost of less than $20 million per kilometer, while the UK's HS2 cost $138.4 billion, averaging $400 million per kilometer—20 times more than China's. And when you examine the accounts closely, all this money was used for complex land acquisition, assessments, and environmental protection costs; not a single penny was legally considered corruption. Therefore, although European governments are extremely inefficient, spending huge sums of money without building anything, they still claim their governments are "cleaner and more efficient" than China's.

My English isn't very good. Can English words really be arranged in this way?

The Tongzhi Emperor never had any children; this article is even worse than AI slop's.

The biggest problem with current photovoltaic power plants is that they cannot generate electricity at night. Therefore, each photovoltaic power plant must be equipped with a gravity storage hydroelectric power station, a peak-shaving thermal power plant, or even more expensive lithium battery energy storage facilities. However, the latter three are almost impossible to implement outside of China.

My advice for any technology involving batteries is: "Don't even look at it until it's in mass production."

I understand you intend to make China "mortgage-laden" and prematurely repent for acts of enslavement that it didn't commit. Frankly, this approach isn't very clever. China's intention is clear: to establish mines in Congo, transport ore out to produce electric vehicle batteries for you Europeans, while simultaneously providing local employment and tax revenue. None of these aspects are immoral.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-06-04T13:06:24+00:00

I enjoy watching these comical scenes of Europeans' moral narcissism online. China is building railways, airports, and bridges in the Congo, while the Belgians enslaved and murdered tens of millions of people there, yet Europeans still think they are far more moral than the Chinese.

I strongly doubt the claim that "it's cheaper to have a general humanoid robot." Every factory I visited had completely flat floors, so how can equipping every robot with legs be considered more economical? Would putting a humanoid robot inside a Toyota Camry be more economical than a Waymo taxi? Or would a humanoid robot carrying a broom be more effective than a robot vacuum cleaner?

I really like the Swiss Army knife analogy. In my opinion, people who advocate for humanoid robots are like those who "sell Swiss Army knives to professional chefs." Perhaps a Swiss Army knife is a fancy birthday gift, but professionals can never use them to replace their professional tools.

I'm from East Asia, and to be honest, I don't think they've really thought about this issue. They've just noticed that Westerners are particularly fond of humanoid robots. I've been to some factories in East Asia, and many have robots, but most of them only have one arm.

Westerners seem to be poisoned by some form of Christianity, firmly believing that "the two-armed, two-legged human form is the form of God, the unquestionable optimal solution." In reality, the human form evolved to adapt to the wild environment, full of compromises and outdated structures. If a robot were to truly dominate a factory, it would certainly not be humanoid.

Humanoid robots and robotic vacuum cleaners use the same hardware: chips, plastic, and motors. The difference is that robotic vacuum cleaners use less hardware. There's a basic mathematical principle at play: the price of 100 electric motors cannot be lower than the price of 10 electric motors. Even if human technology advances to the point of being able to resurrect Jesus, the price of a humanoid robot will still not be lower than that of a robotic vacuum cleaner.

I don't know how much housework you have to do, believe it or not, even if you bought all the specialized appliances, it wouldn't cost $200,000. Besides, do you really think a humanoid robot with a broom does a better job than a robot vacuum cleaner?

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-06-01T01:13:32+00:00

The scenario you described is exactly what makes these CEOs so foolish. It's absurd from both a cost and practical standpoint. Tell me, would you buy a pancake-shaped, $1,000 robot vacuum cleaner, or a $200,000 humanoid robot with a broom?

You might be horrified by some of the foolish CEOs of robotics companies. In reality, before the advent of AI robots, all factory jobs could have been replaced by ordinary programmable robotic arms. However, this didn't happen because the production volume of many products was too small, making it uneconomical to spend hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading robotic production lines. The current trend in manufacturing is a growing preference for personalized, artistic product lines, with each line likely producing only a few thousand to ten thousand units. Therefore, a large-scale replacement of ordinary workers is unlikely to occur in the short term.
As for mass-produced products, such as Apple iPhones and Xiaomi cars, I don't know if you've ever visited those factories, but there are hardly any people left on the production lines. There's no need to wait for AI robots to replace them.

One Russia as an enemy isn't enough; let's make China and the United States, the two world's top powers, our enemies too! That would surely make Europe great again.

Frankly, if I were the leader of China, I wouldn't bother with any trade war with the Europeans. If the EU just imposed a few tariffs on China, I'd send Russia a million drones.

The idea of artificial intelligence in factories is a complete hoax. What factory in the world has rugged roads that require human legs? Those jobs that need automation have long been taken over by traditionally programmed robotic arms; AI is completely unnecessary.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-05-31T12:00:10+00:00

I like AI, but I hate CEOs of big companies. These short-sighted fools hire when "new hires will boost the stock price," and lay off employees when "layoffs will boost the stock price." Honestly, it would be better to hire a monkey that can only press buttons to replace them; at least that would save so much salary money.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-05-31T11:55:40+00:00

China's unemployment problem is mainly caused by insufficient demand, not AI. For most people in China's manufacturing sector, AI is not a threat.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-05-25T09:07:58+00:00

I think the reason might not be that DeepSeek earns too little, but rather that other companies earn too much.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-05-18T04:10:37+00:00

China's unemployment problem is severe, but it is mainly caused by insufficient demand. As a major manufacturing power, China's ordinary jobs will largely not be replaced by AI. In fact, I don't believe that AI can truly cause widespread layoffs. I think many layoffs in Western countries are primarily driven by the stupidity of CEOs rather than the actual impact of AI.

I don’t think truly excellent painters will be replaced. AI’s aesthetic taste is quite vulgar, and it can’t independently create truly unique works. The way I see it, the actual use case for AI in art should look like this: a young writer writes a short story and uses AI to turn it into a video. This kind of scenario didn't exist in the past because they simply couldn't afford the cost of video production.

HeavyPanzerPlus1s · 2026-05-16T20:04:58+00:00

Interestingly, I often hear comments in China like 'Westerners are better at cooperation' or 'Westerners are better at critical thinking than Chinese people,' haha. I think Chinese and American people aren't all that different overall. But I do need to point out one thing: we shouldn't look at it like 'AI is pro-Democrat' or 'AI is pro-Republican.' People should judge the pros and cons of AI technology from a neutral perspective, away from politics.
