Chinese skyscraper-cleaning robot deal suspended amid tariffs, opening door for US rivals

May 3, 2025 by Mark Allinson

A $1.6 million deal between a US client and Chinese robotics company Lingdu Intelligent Technology has been suspended following the Trump administration’s announcement of a 145 per cent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles and related high-tech imports, according to a repor on the South China Morning Post website.

The tariffs, part of a broader effort to protect domestic industries, have rattled niche sectors like skyscraper-cleaning robots where Chinese firms previously enjoyed a cost advantage.

Lingdu, based in the southern tech hub of Guangzhou, manufactures robotic window-cleaners under the X-Human brand. [Read more…] about Chinese skyscraper-cleaning robot deal suspended amid tariffs, opening door for US rivals
