Chinese Robots Run Against Humans in World’s First Humanoid Half-Marathon — and Lose by a Mile. AI-Generated.
In a historic event that merged athleticism with cutting-edge robotics, the world witnessed the first-ever humanoid half-marathon held in China, where a group of humanoid robots competed against human runners in a 21.1-kilometer race. The futuristic contest, which was put on by a group of top Chinese universities and robotics companies and took place in Beijing, was meant to show off new developments in artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics. While the robots captivated spectators with their mechanical strides and uncanny resemblance to human motion, the final results confirmed what many had suspected: robots are still far from outrunning their creators. Despite months of preparation, advanced programming, and highly engineered designs, none of the robots came close to challenging the human athletes, finishing the race several hours behind the top runners—or dropping out entirely due to technical malfunctions.

Rubio warns if it's not possible to end the war in Ukraine, US needs to 'move on
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued a stark warning that the United States may abandon its current peace mediation efforts in Ukraine if no progress is made soon. Speaking to reporters in Paris on April 18, 2025, Rubio stated, "If it is not possible to end the war in Ukraine, we need to move on." The remarks signal a growing sense of frustration within the U.S. administration over the prolonged stalemate in peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Rubio's remarks come at an important time in the diplomatic effort to end the war that has devastated Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. Despite numerous despite summits, backchannel communications, and high-level negotiations, there hasn't been a complete ceasefire. The most recent talks in Paris-attended by U.S., Ukrainian, and European leaders -failed to achieve a breakthrough. A subsequent round of discussions is scheduled in London, but expectations are muted. Russia, on the other hand, has been uncompromising in its demands, such as the suspension of Ukraine's military mobilization and the cessation of Western arms shipments to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has strongly rejected these conditions, calling them unacceptable and a threat to national sovereignty. Ukraine continues to insist that any peace agreement must include the withdrawal of Russian forces from occupied territories and accountability for war crimes committed during the conflict. The U.S. administration's push for a peace deal was initially framed by President Donald Trump as a key foreign policy objective. During his campaign and early presidency, Trump promised to end the war swiftly through aggressive diplomacy and leverage over NATO and Russia. However, the reality of deeply rooted territorial, political, and security concerns has significantly complicated such an outcome. Rubio's statement marks a potential shift in U.S. policy. While it does not mean immediate disengagement, it suggests that Washington is considering scaling back its efforts if talks remain unproductive. According to officials, the administration may instead focus more heavily on economic support and rebuilding Ukraine's infrastructure, rather than trying to broker an elusive peace deal. One significant development alongside the diplomatic efforts has been the announcement of a new U.S.-Ukraine economic partnership. On the sidelines of the Paris talks, the two countries signed a memorandum of intent aimed at boosting Ukraine's reconstruction. The agreement lays the groundwork for a multibillion-dollar investment fund that will focus on energy, transportation, and digital infrastructure reconstruction. It also grants access to Ukraine's abundant mineral resources. Rubio noted that while peace remains the top priority, strengthening Ukraine's economy is essential for long-term stability. European leaders have responded cautiously to Rubio's remarks. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Annalena Baerbock have continued to urge all parties to remain engaged in the peace process. Both leaders emphasized that any potential U.S. disengagement could weaken the overall diplomatic front and embolden Russia. Macron, who hosted the recent round of talks, stressed the importance of Western unity in addressing Russian aggression. The idea of "moving on" from peace efforts sends the wrong message at a sensitive time, according to critics of the US strategy. Some analysts worry that it could undermine Ukrainian morale or give Russia the impression that international pressure is waning. Others, however, view Rubio's comments as a realistic assessment of a complex situation that has defied resolution for over three years. years. As the war drags on, the question of how long the U.S. and its allies can sustain their current level of involvement-militarily, economically, and diplomatically-continues to be a subject of debate. Rubio's remarks underscore the urgent need for results, but they also highlight the limits of diplomacy in the face of intransigence on both sides. It remains to be seen whether the United States actually intends to "move on" or is employing the threat as a negotiating tool. What is clear is that patience is wearing thin, and time may be running out for a peaceful resolution.
