"Together with them, we are now making strong progress," he said. He noted that partners such as XPENG, Horizon Robotics, and Gotion are fully committed to working with Volkswagen.

　　Brandstätter stressed the importance of collaboration, stating that Volkswagen is not doing this alone. "We are doing it together with the Chinese ecosystem," he explained. "We are only one part of it, and the main part is Chinese."

　　What multinational companies are experiencing through their local partnerships reflects a much broader trend — one being accelerated by China"s push for new industrialization.

　　China"s new industrialization is not only reshaping its domestic industrial landscape but also offering foreign companies a wealth of new opportunities — from smart manufacturing and green energy to industrial software and high-end equipment — where global expertise and local innovation are converging. This trend is already crystallizing in tangible outcomes, as Chinese companies rapidly advance their intelligent capabilities across critical sectors.

　　Midea"s subsidiary Wan Dong Medical recently unveiled the MR Agent and DR Agent intelligent products, along with several new imaging devices. With a full-chain smart solution, Wan Dong is pushing China"s domestic medical imaging equipment into the next era of intelligence, according to the information the company shared with the Global Times.

　　The MR Agent, the first intelligent diagnostic tool based on Chinese brain data, uses data from nearly 50,000 healthy individuals across 34 provinces to create a dedicated Chinese brain recognition model. The DR Agent, trained on over 4 million local DR images, automates the entire process from positioning and parameter setting to diagnosis and report generation.
