Chinese robotics companies blocked from the U.S. market due to new restrictions can still sell to American buyers by establishing real operations in Singapore, according to Choon Chong Tay, CEO of Vertex Ventures China. This strategy involves anchoring key operations and control of critical components in Singapore, allowing these companies to meet U.S. trade rules on product origin. The move comes as Chinese robotics manufacturers lead in hardware innovation but face U.S. bans on advanced robots citing national security. Vertex Ventures, backed by Singapore's Temasek, has invested in several Chinese robotics startups, betting that economic demand for affordable Chinese-made robots will overcome political barriers. This approach remains untested but reflects growing efforts to navigate the intensifying U.S.-China technology rivalry.
