What struck her wasn't just the construction, but the energy – a city alive with experimentation, where "tomorrow is being tested here today." Some two decades later, she returned – this time alongside former Kyrgyz Prime Minister Djoomart Otorbaev. What they encountered was a very different Shenzhen: coffee delivered by drone in a public park, "robotic dogs", high-tech camera stabilizers used in Hollywood, and drone piloting from 2,000 km away. Tasks like powerline inspections, which once required a full day of mountain trekking, can now be completed in just a minute from a desk. It's a shift from adopting technology to creating it. "It's like a grub entering a chrysalis," Clare reflects. "Everyone thinks nothing's happening. But inside, China was developing. Now it's emerged – like a dragonfly, butterfly, or drone – showing the world what it can do." That's #resilience. That's #China. #UnyieldingGrowth #TakingOff 00:00 - Introduction: Clare Pearson and Djoomart Otorbaev’s deep connection to China 01:01 - Shenzhen Memories: From the 1997 construction boom to today's tech proving ground 02:12 - High-Tech Daily Life: Experiencing app-ordered robot coffee delivery 04:32 - Interactive Innovation: Exploring smart devices and autonomous filming robots 05:14 - Professional Applications: Testing cinematic gear used in F1 movie production 07:52 - Inside DJI: Where innovation, opportunity, and exponential growth meet 08:47 - Remote Piloting: Controlling a drone in Northeast China from 2,000 km away in Shenzhen 11:54 - Global Reach: Expanding drone solutions for volcano monitoring and scientific research 14:34 - Energy Logistics: The challenge of transmitting electricity across China’s vast regions 15:46 - Transforming Infrastructure: How drones solve the high cost of manual power line inspection 18:33 - Field Test: Real-time LiDAR inspection for enhanced utility safety and speed 22:18 - DJI Dock: Implementing 24/7 automated routine patrols for the power grid 23:21 - Technological Leadership: AI and drone integration reshaping traditional industries 25:14 - The Road Ahead: Driving high technology through the 15th Five-Year Plan 26:10 - Final Reflections: China’s "butterfly moment" and the rise of Asian economic leadership Ep1: https://youtu.be/Qua-UgknLUg 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA Sat, 02 May 2026 08:00:43 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/afb41750-ab6a-48eb-b986-8ad890b84d11 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
