Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said Europeans are mistaken to think they can issue an ultimatum to Russia.

Anhui province published draft implementation opinions to promote high-quality development of the robotics industry, proposing to cultivate platform firms with ecosystem-leading capabilities. Measures target core generic robotics technologies, development of breakout products, contract manufacturing and integrated sales, and support leading firms' shift from single finished-product manufacturing to a ‘‘technology platform + ecosystem’’ model. Eligible companies are encouraged to expand overseas via joint investment, franchising, R&D centers and production bases. The province supports establishing robot platform companies and new business models including robot leasing, secondary development, scenario integration, and data training/annotation. Authorities back corporate mergers and restructurings, will build multi-level matching platforms to help leading firms pursue global M&A to integrate upstream and downstream resources, and encourage listed companies, state-owned enterprises and industrial investment funds to use M&A to accelerate growth of firms with key core technologies.
