底线：
中国's government has sponsored aggressive 5-year plans to make the robotics industry in 中国 one in which domestic companies provide the majority of robots and to change the overall status of manufacturing in 中国 by 2025 to be high tech and high quality instead of low price and labor intensive. At present, in most cases, and particularly regarding robotics, the reverse is the case. Thus this acquisition by Midea of one of the Big Four of global robot manufacturers goes a long way toward bringing high tech and high quality in robotics to 中国 by a now-Chinese-owned highly-thought-of robot manufacturer.
