BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2026 – During Donald Trump’s high-profile diplomatic visit to China, a state-level welcome banquet was hosted in Beijing, assembling global industry leaders from the semiconductors, consumer electronics, new energy and intelligent manufacturing sectors. Beyond diplomatic protocol, the banquet’s strategic seating arrangement sparked extensive industry discussion, with a dedicated elite tech table becoming the focal point of global industrial attention. Jia Shaoqian, Chairman of Hisense Group, was invited to the exclusive tech table, seated alongside iconic U.S. tech figures including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jensen Huang, and Tyson Jacob. The premium seating objectively validates Hisense’s worldwide technological prowess and authoritative industrial discourse power.

The high-end roundtable establishes a premium communication channel bridging Chinese manufacturing and U.S. hard technology. While U.S. representatives cover artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors and new energy vehicles, Hisense represents China’s sophisticated technology manufacturing with a multi-dimensional technological layout. Shattering the long-standing stereotype of a conventional home appliance maker, the company has built inimitable technological barriers in high-end display and smart home sectors, maintaining sustained technological iteration and undisputed global technological advantages in 2026.

Empowered by its end-to-end industrial chain capability, Hisense occupies an apex position in the global display industry. The company’s self-developed RGB-Mini LED technology achieves comprehensive leadership in R&D, mass production and technological iteration. Equipped with the pioneering Linglong 4-Core True Colour Backlight system and independently developed Hi-View AI image processing chip, Hisense’s 2026 latest UX series features 110% BT.2020 ultra-wide colour gamut, 10,000 nits peak brightness and 134-bit high-precision colour control, reproducing over 120 million distinct colours. With these innovations, Hisense now has a one-year technological head start over its competitors, enabling the enterprise to set industrial benchmarks and secure rule-making authority within the global display ecosystem.

Hisense remains an undisputed global pioneer in laser display technology, holding full independent intellectual property rights covering laser light sources, optical modules and terminal devices. Continuous investment in underlying optical research enables superior imaging performance with ultra-high contrast, eye-friendly visual comfort and wide colour gamut. The persistent technological edge reinforces Hisense’s dominant market share in the global laser TV industry, consolidating its status as an indispensable Chinese technological powerhouse in the high-end display landscape.

Beyond display technologies, Hisense expands its technological frontier in premium smart home appliances. The self-developed heat pump washing machine adopts an innovative four-in-one integrated heat pump structure, delivering low-temperature fabric-friendly washing and drying while significantly cutting energy consumption. As an original global energy-saving home appliance solution, it embodies Hisense’s green manufacturing philosophy and diversified R&D strength beyond display technology.

During the banquet, Jia Shaoqian engaged in in-depth dialogues with international tech elites regarding technological innovation, transnational industrial collaboration and eco-friendly intelligent manufacturing. The high-level face-to-face communication enhances mutual trust and cooperation potential between Chinese and U.S. technology enterprises. Adhering to a globalised development strategy, Hisense maintains steady overseas revenue and robust independent brand influence, with its technology-oriented products widely recognised across mainstream international markets.

The prestigious seating arrangement serves as compelling proof of global recognition for China’s high-end manufacturing industry. As a leading Chinese tech enterprise, Hisense has obtained equal diplomatic-level dialogue status within the world’s top technological circle. Moving forward, Hisense will consistently invest in independent R&D, continuously iterate RGB-Mini LED, laser display and heat pump appliance technologies, and actively explore global industrial cooperation.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2026 – The ECOVACS WINBOT is the world’s #1 bestselling robotic window cleaner, according to data from global market intelligence firm IDC. ECOVACS Robotics, a global leader in service robotics, pioneered this category in 2011 with the WINBOT 5 Series – the world’s first robotic window cleaner. ECOVACS’ “Created for Ease” philosophy led it to create the WINBOT to bring consumers a smarter, safer, and easier way to tackle window cleaning.

ECOVACS WINBOT

Keeping the large windows and expansive views in today’s modern homes crystal-clear can be risky, inconvenient, and labor-intensive. Windows are constantly exposed to dust, pollution, and severe weather. For those in high-rise buildings, cleaning exterior windows can be dangerous and requires expensive professional help. Manual cleaning often leaves streaks. Scrubbing large glass surfaces can be tiring. These challenges lead many to avoid cleaning their windows altogether.
Robotic window cleaners like the ECOVACS WINBOT help solve these pain points so users can enjoy clear views from edge to edge with ease. Consumer demand for them is surging, according to IDC, which found that the ECOVACS WINBOT was the world’s #1 selling robotic window cleaner in 2025.1 It has also been #1 in China for three consecutive years according to data from All View Cloud (AVC).
A Trusted Choice for Effortless Cleaning
ECOVACS is a pioneer in service robotics. Knowing that consumers want effortless smart home cleaning solutions beyond floor cleaning, it began developing robotic window cleaners 15 years ago. Since the first WINBOT, the line has undergone seven generations of core upgrades. Leveraging its R&D strengths, ECOVACS continually sets new industry benchmarks with innovative technologies that make window cleaning safer, faster and more convenient for users.

ECOVACS WINBOT’s innovations for enhanced cleaning performance are designed to effectively remove dust, rain stains, and pollution buildup. For example, ECOVACS’ TruEdge Technology is designed to clean edges and hard-to-reach corners — ensuring spotless, crystal-clear views — and its Three-nozzle Wide-angle Spray Technology enables a deeper clean.

Other innovations enhance convenience. The all-in-one OMNI Station is a control panel, charger, stabilizer, and portable storage space for the WINBOT and its accessories. It is also equipped with a safety rope with a tensile strength of up to 100KG. Other WINBOT safety features include optimized suction power, anti-drop protection, edge detection, smart navigation for obstacle avoidance, and insurance protection.
The ECOVACS WINBOT’s sales performance is also impressive. In 2025, its sales volume exceeded 1 million units, with cumulative global sales surpassing 2.6 million units.

From entry-level to premium models, ECOVACS offers a diverse WINBOT product portfolio across different markets to meet users’ needs for taking care of various glass surfaces, including glass panels, balcony glass, and shower screens. The ECOVACS WINBOT family revolutionizes window cleaning with cutting-edge technologies that bring users a high-performance, convenient and hassle-free experience that ensures crystal-clear views with absolute peace-of-mind.
