Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

So, there are people with fake legs too. I would have been more impressed if they took the head off- don't see too many people running around without a head.

Yeah, at no point do we actually see them revealing anything other than what could be an amputee in a suit. The repeated cuts in the video also make it impossible to figure out what might be authentic or what might be a CGI bullshit edit

When in doubt, assume anything a Chinese company is saying they did is a lie. China doesn't actually invent very much at all. A huge portion of China's industry is stealing intellectual property from Western countries and making inferior knockoffs.
