China's Astonishing Tech Achievements: From Ocean Depths to Mars

China's Technological Leap: A 2021-2025 Showcase China has made remarkable strides in science and technology between 2021 and 2025. This progress is evident across various sectors, from deep-sea exploration to space exploration. The Haidou-1 unmanned submersible broke the world record for diving depth in October 2021, reaching 10,908 meters. This achievement demonstrates China's capabilities in deep-sea technology. In the field of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek-R1, a cost-efficient model with human-like reasoning, is reshaping the global industry. The model's success highlights China's growing influence in AI. Moreover, the world's first half-marathon for humanoid robots, held in Beijing in April 2025, showcased another leap in robotics and AI. 'The Tiangong Ultra finished first with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds,' said a spokesperson for the event. China's advancements extend to infrastructure and space exploration. The world's first railway loop around the Taklimakan Desert opened in Xinjiang in June 2022. This impressive feat of engineering demonstrates China's commitment to infrastructure development. In space, China's first permanent space station, Tianhe, received its first visitors in June 2021, marking a significant step in China's space program. The successful Chang'e-6 lunar probe mission and the Tianwen-1 Mars probe landing further solidify China's position as a global leader in space exploration. These achievements highlight China's commitment to scientific and technological advancement.
