The video suggested that people could not believe that such innovation could come from a Chinese company... No. People are skeptical of Chinese startups because so many are scams and full of shit.

Innovation can come from anywhere. A tech demo where they faked "people not believing it's a robot" doesn't help to reduce that well-earned reputation.
