On September 19, CCTV reported that Chinese manufacturers have made dense appearances at major international exhibitions in 2026—in vehicles, new energy, consumer electronics and AI—signaling that "Made in China" is accelerating into global markets on the strength of complete supply chains, innovation and localization.
At the ongoing Hannover International Transportation Fair, more than 300 Chinese firms exhibited not only models but also batteries, autonomous driving and logistics solutions. A leading Chinese battery maker released a new commercial-vehicle battery enabling up to 1,000 km range with 80% charge in 25 minutes; an L4 autonomous-logistics firm showed driverless, round-the-clock "last-mile" delivery for cities.
At early September's IFA Berlin, nearly half of over 1,900 exhibitors were Chinese. Hisense's TV AIOS—serving the whole family via perception, thinking, conversation and execution—illustrates how Chinese firms are exporting capability and even ecosystems, not just products. At Hannover Industrial Fair, Chinese exhibitors numbered about 700, second only to host Germany; at CES Las Vegas, Chinese strength showed in both scale and direction-setting.
The report notes AI is shifting from "model capability" to "product capability"—from "can chat" to "can work"—a transition vividly on display across 2026's global show circuit.
