The Spring Festival Gala just started, and there is already controversy on Polymarket

On Polymarket, the ongoing topic is “Which robot dancer brands will appear at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala.” However, as the exciting robot martial arts performance is broadcast, the market immediately sparked debate over “whether they qualify as robot dancers.”
Some participants believe that in the Chinese context, martial arts are considered competitive or combat sports, which are clearly different from dance in professional classification. Even if the robot performs a highly entertaining martial arts routine, its identity is closer to that of a “martial artist” or “performer,” rather than a “dancer.”
