Special topic: "Praising China's Economy — Entrepreneur Night 2026." The "Praising China's Economy — Entrepreneur Night" platform has now been launched. This event, introduced by Sina Finance and other institutions since 2015, pays tribute to the entrepreneurial community. With the theme "Saluting the Driving Force of the New Era," the event is based on five dimensions — innovation, disruptiveness, forward-looking vision, growth potential, and sustainability — to deeply analyze the trajectory of China's economic and industrial development in the past year, uncover outstanding entrepreneurial role models, and promote the spirit of dedication to industry, courage in innovation, and a sense of responsibility and enterprise that defines the new era.
At each year's gala, the organizing committee combines netizen votes and expert recommendations to ultimately invite ten entrepreneurs who demonstrated excellence during the year to share their entrepreneurial journeys and exchange innovative ideas.
He Xiaopeng, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of XPeng Inc. (XPEV), is the most internet-savvy "explorer" of future transportation. Through data-driven transformation of intelligent electric vehicles, he leads the future of mobility and has built the smart electric vehicle brand that best understands Chinese consumers. In 2026, He Xiaopeng upgraded XPENG-W (09868) into "XPeng Group," launched XPENG AI ENGINEERING to open its technology globally, and pushed robots, flying cars, and Robotaxi into mass production within the same year. Revenue in the first half reached RMB 32.78 billion, with overseas income surging dramatically.
He Xiaopeng once posted on Weibo that any technological era has bubbles that are phased or localized — whether it was the internet era or the new energy vehicle era — but this is an inevitable competitive process as a market evolves from chaos to order.
"Overall, AI will inevitably drive enormous changes across society, and today we are still at the very beginning stage of 0 to 0.1. If we must talk about a bubble, I feel China's valuations are relatively reasonable, while US valuations are indeed a bit high; China focuses more on market applications, while the US focuses more on frontier research," He Xiaopeng noted.
He Xiaopeng pointed out that there is no AI bubble at present, and the future AI market holds tremendous opportunities.
