A host of futuristic robotic wolves caught visitors' eye on Thursday at the ongoing 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, in Zhuhai, a port city in south China's Guangdong Province.   The pack consists of four different robotic wolves, which can undertake versatile tasks. One wolf is equipped with reconnaissance equipment that can operate on the front lines. The comprehensive supporting wolf is tasked with transporting ammunition supplies. The remaining two wolves are armed with firearms that can serve as the primary combat forces. According to the engineers, these steel warriors possess powerful collaborative capabilities, and can carry out complex missions in various scenarios, including urban streets, factories and mines. Together with a central control vehicle, the whole pack can reach a combat radius of up to two kilometers and a battery life of three hours. "At the current stage, the robotic wolves have evolved from individual intelligence to group intelligence. When carrying out tasks, we can quickly deploy different types and quantities of robotics according to various needs to meet battlefield requirements," said Liu Zhe, a representative of China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC). Compared to the commonly known robotic dogs, these wolves adopted the concept of group combat, enabling "human-vehicle-wolf" interconnection, ensuring information sharing and dynamic autonomous coordination. After rigorous training on various terrains, these robotic wolves have proven their reliability and adaptability. They excel not only in military applications, but also hold broad prospects for civilian use. Designed with a focus on adaptability to urban terrains, these robotic wolves can easily navigate stairs, overcome obstacles and trenches, which conventional robots find challenging. "There are numerous civilian applications as well, such as firefighting emergencies, industrial and chemical factory inspections, and safety checks in hazardous environments," said Liu.

The second Global South Think Tanks Dialogue kicked off on Thursday in east China's Nanjing, bringing together more than 400 representatives of think tanks across over 100 countries.

Co-hosted by the International Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, and the China Council for BRICS Think-tank Cooperation, the event is designed to foster discussions on key themes of equality, openness and cooperation among Global South.

Liu Jianchao, head of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that the dialogue aims to implement President Xi Jinping's important proposal at the BRICS Plus leaders' dialogue last month, which has led to the official launch of the Global South Think Tanks Alliance on Thursday.

China is ready to work with Global South countries to uphold the spirit of independence, solidarity, justice, openness, and inclusiveness, and to jointly build a Global South community of shared future, Liu said.

The newly established Think Tanks Alliance, Liu added, will leverage its unique strengths to provide intellectual support and foster greater collaboration among Global South countries.

Foreign attendees believe the Think Tanks Alliance will serve as an important platform for strengthening communication, dialogue, and cooperation within the Global South. They also expressed their commitment to joining hands with China to implement the three major global initiatives proposed by President Xi—the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative—while advancing the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
