China 2026: Space missions, ocean protein, robots redefining tech

China's 2026 space plan signals a packed year ahead, with two crewed missions and one cargo launch planned to keep the space station operating, including tests of long-duration human endurance in orbit. Astronauts from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions are expected to join missions, and cooperation with Pakistan will see a payload specialist conduct experiments in space. From orbit to ocean, the world's first roving salmon and trout aquaculture vessel, Suhai-1, has returned to port, capable of producing 8,000 tonnes of premium fish annually and advancing China's "Blue Granary" strategy. On land, 50 humanoid robots from Unitree Robotics staged a martial arts performance at Beijing's Temple of Heaven, showcasing world-first technical breakthroughs and signaling new service-oriented products in development for 2026.
