   AI and Robotics Reshape China’s White-Goods Industry

   An analysis republished by Ebrun examines how China’s white-goods sector is seeking new growth as new-home demand weakens and replacement purchases become more important. It says Midea, Gree and Haier are investing in AI, robotics and connected-home systems. Midea’s Meiro U humanoid robot and KUKA’s KAI industrial platform are among the reported releases. The report also cites interoperability problems, fragmented smart-home ecosystems and uncertain robotics commercialization. Analysts quoted in the report warn that AI agents and general-purpose models could erode appliance makers’ product-definition power, but the scale of that threat remains uncertain.

   AI home appliances take center stage in China's Golden Week as traditional sales slump

   AVC forecast falling sales for refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners during the Golden Week holiday, against a broader market that shrank 9.7% year on year to 547.7 billion yuan in January–August, with full-year retail expected to fall 7.6% to 825 billion yuan. AI appliances bucked the trend: Suning said core-store footfall rose 50% and AI smart appliance sales more than 40% during the holiday, with AI products topping 70% of its sales for the first time, while JD MALL's smart-appliance sales share reached 60%. The article also notes consumer complaints about gimmicky AI features, and that Samsung's Bespoke AI refrigerator stopped cooling after a system update.
