China expects to have 300 million humanoid robots by 2050

It reminds me of "The Phantom Menace" which is a star wars movie with Liam Neeson where robots and Naboo residents fight. After Drones and missiles it might be humanoid robots and humans fighting by 2050. 

begin quote from Google AI:

Yes, several reports and analyses suggest that China aims to have a significant number of humanoid robots in use by 2050
. 
According to a Morgan Stanley report, China is projected to have 302.3 million humanoid robots in use by 2050, accounting for 30% of the world's total humanoid robots, notes the South China Morning Post. This is significantly higher than the projected 77.7 million units in the US. 
This ambition is part of a broader push by China to develop and deploy advanced robotics, especially in areas like manufacturing and services. China's "Made in China 2025" plan explicitly identifies the robotics industry as a key component of its national development strategy. The Chinese government is providing strong support for research and development in this area, including funding and policy initiatives. 
While China appears to be leading the race in terms of robot numbers, experts caution that challenges remain in terms of technological advancements, particularly in developing sophisticated AI models for humanoid robots. Additionally, the widespread adoption of humanoid robots raises concerns about potential impacts on the workforce and social security systems.
