• 2026-10-14 (first record, ~8:45 PM ET): StartupFortune reports China's humanoid makers shipped 97% of global units in H1 2026 and that Unitree is pursuing a $6.2B IPO, beside a Tesla-Optimus comparative (https://startupfortune.com/chinas-humanoid-robot-shipments-hit-97-of-the-world-as-tesla-stalls/). The 97% share sits inside the market-structure data already on file (SAG >97% Sep 8; IDC >95% Oct 1); the new item is the capital claim, which needs reconciliation against the record's own Unitree layer — a Shanghai STAR debut in mid-August (¥6.1B/≈$905M raised, ~$66B debut valuation, then the −53% slide) — so the $6.2B figure's market, instrument and timeline are unverified from a single summary capture. Watch: the market and instrument behind the pursuit, whether it is a raise atop the existing listing, and how it travels against the Beijing IPO-curb backdrop.
