Window into the future

Walking through the SIASUN factory floor, you would be forgiven for thinking you were on a futuristic movie set. The scene is one of wall-to-wall robots, from the metal giants only seen in science fiction comic books to 60-cm-tall talking toys.

The reality is the automation company's base in Shenyang, Liaoning province, highlighting the real progress China is making in its transformation from the world's factory into a high-tech producer.

SIASUN Robot & Automation Co Ltd is one of 28 companies that will start trading tomorrow on ChiNext.
