BEIJING, Mar 5 (APP): International reporters covering China’s annual “Two Sessions” meetings in Beijing have described the country’s 2026 outlook as “adaptive”, “future” and “reliable”, while pointing to robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and China’s capacity to scale technology as key perceived strengths.
The remarks were made when seven international journalists were asked to describe China’s 2026 outlook in one defining word during an interview with China Economic Net (CEN).
Irfan Ashraf, a reporter at Pakistan’s Samaa TV, said it was “difficult to explain China in one word” but chose “super amazing”, citing what he described as rapid progress across fields ranging from information technology and transport to tourism and agriculture.
Ayoubo of Arab China TV chose “AI plus”, saying China was promoting AI deployment across sectors, including education and hospitals, alongside what he described as fast-moving robotics development.
Svetlana Zadera, a columnist at Russia’s Rossiyskaya Gazeta, chose “adaptive”, invoking an ecological analogy that survival favours the most adaptable. Asked about China’s tech edge, she said technology in China felt “everywhere”.
Nicolás Mancini, a journalist at Argentina’s Clarín, described China as “future”, saying what he saw in China represented the future for countries in South America across technology, society and politics. On technology, he singled out robotics.
Mojca Pisek, a freelance journalist and writer who contributes to Slovenia’s Delo newspaper, described China as “reliable” in a world she said was increasingly unpredictable, and argued that many products made in China could reach global markets at “a very competitive price”.
Tania Glouhtcheva of Bulgaria’s Duma newspaper described China as a “world power”, citing stable economic performance and visible policy results. On technology, she said China could “produce absolutely everything”, from electronics to smart machines.
Haroldo Guzmán of Guatemala’s idocumenta described China as “peace”, saying it “live[s] in peace” and “do[es]n’t fight anybody”. On technology, he singled out AI and said visits including a BYD factory left him impressed by robots and what he associated with advances in healthcare and agriculture.
