It's interesting how huge the gap is between China and South Korea, despite the latter having 300% the per capita GDP.

Japan at least has the excuse that they were once pretty strong in this area.
Innovation performance is measured in absolute terms, not relative terms. Innovation *dispersion*, aka industrial adoption, is where relative terms matter.

Looks like robot installations no longer increasing at same rate.
Domestic companies are increasing shares, but will need to innovate to continue to improve their market share
some really interesting information.

first time, domestic Robots occupied 41 percent market share in mainland.

with this speed, market share of domestic firms will exceed 70 percent by 2025.

Three domestic manufacturers, Inovance Technology , Eston and Efort, have entered the ranks of the industry's TOP10,Among them, Eston entered the TOP5 for the first time.

KUKA is now 100 percent Chinese owned. take over has completed

Eston said at this year's performance meeting. 2023 can be defined as the first year of the company's overseas development. i think this is first time some Chinese industrial Robot makers goes for overseas. huge

Does KUKA still retain most of its manufacturing and R&D in Europe, or has it been relocated to China?

its complete take over. Midea also shifted major chunk of core tech in mainland.

KUKA half manufacturing share currently located in China for Asian continent. half remains in Germany. China has own R&D base of KUKA.

Kunshan , Shanghai and Foshan Cities have production plants.

Shanghai also has 2 Major R&D bases. one is in Chengdu and one is in Nantong

they have agreement with German government, Midea wont relocate the global headquarter from GERMANY atleast until 2025. by this year and or next, KUKA will be listed in Chinese stock exchange.

Because it's so far away from being meaningful. By the time this is viable, china will be fully covered with solar and wind
Wind and solar are not reliable sources of base load. The batteries are becoming more efficient and reliable in storage capability and power delivery, but if China is truly interested in becoming carbon neutral it will have to greatly increase its nuclear fission generating capacity, and thorium molten salt reactors can do so...
