China’s robotics firm Unitree warns investors of share scams

Unitree Robotics, a robotics start-up based in China, has warned investors about scams targeting those interested in its shares.

In a WeChat post on Feb. 27, the company stated that all transactions regarding new and existing shares must go through its financing department and official channels, without intermediaries.

Interest in Unitree has surged after its founder, Wang Xingxing, attended a business symposium led by President Xi Jinping.

At 35, Wang was the youngest tech executive present, alongside industry leaders like Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei and Alibaba’s Jack Ma.

The company’s H1 humanoid robots also gained attention during this year’s Spring Festival Gala, boosting market activity.

Zhejiang Changsheng Sliding Bearings, a supplier for Unitree’s robot arms, reported its share price more than tripled in 2025.

With rising interest in the robotics sector, Unitree’s warning aims to protect investors from fraudulent schemes.
