==== Drones and robotics ====
China is the leader in [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|drone]] technology, it is the first country in the world to create large scale transport drones, as well as the first to produce an amphibious drone. Chinese drone companies such as [[DJI (company)|DJI]] and [[Ehang UAV|Ehang (Beijing Yi-Hang Creation Science & Technology)]] conquered majority of the civilian drone industry, with DJI alone dominating 85% of the global market share. Ehang also created the world's first ''flying taxi'' drone, [[Ehang UAV|Ehang 184]], an [[Environmentally friendly|eco-friendly]] low altitude [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|autonomous aerial vehicle]] capable of providing transportation and medium distance communication.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/china-s-drone-makers-teach-chinese-brands/308870/|title=What China's Drone Makers Could Teach Other Chinese Brands|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nationthailand.com/detail/Startup_and_IT/30327383|title=Chinese engineers make plane into first large delivery drone - The Nation|work=The Nation|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://thedronegirl.com/2017/02/26/dji-yuneec-autel-mota/|title=DJI is dominating the consumer drone industry, so which companies are left? - The Drone Girl|date=26 February 2017|work=The Drone Girl}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbn.co.za/component/k2/first-city-in-the-world-to-have-flying-taxis-the-future-is-here|title=First city in the world to have flying taxis; the future is here - Cape Business News|language=en-gb}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://money.cnn.com/2017/09/27/technology/china-amphibious-drone/index.html|title=This Chinese drone can take off and land on water|last1=Pham|first1=Sherisse|work=CNNMoney}}</ref>

In some regions, such as the [[Pearl River Delta]], manufacturers have problems with labor shortages, raising wages, and higher expectations regarding work from more highly educated young people. This has increased the demand for [[industrial robot]]s. As of 2017, China is the largest user and producer of [[robotics]] technology, as well as the first country in the world to perform an [[Automation|automated]] [[dental implant]]. It is the largest and fastest-growing robotics market in the world, and plans to manufacture at least 100,000 industrial robots annually by 2020.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/usa/weekly/2011-12/30/content_14354888.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120109013847/http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/usa/weekly/2011-12/30/content_14354888.htm | date = 30 December 2011 | archive-date= 9 January 2012 | title= A message from robots: it's our turn | work = China Daily  | author1= Edward Tse | author2= Matthias Hendrichs | url-status= dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://time.com/4952886/china-world-first-dental-surgery-robot-implant/|title=Chinese Robot Installed Dental Implant Without Human Help|last1=Lui|first1=Kevin|magazine=Time}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/06/chinas-blueprint-to-crush-the-us-robotics-industry.html|title=China's blueprint to crush the US robotics industry|first=Andrew |last=Zaleski|date=6 September 2017|work=CNBC}}</ref>
