About Me

Zuo Jing is vice chairman of Leader Harmonious Drive Systems, which makes harmonic reducers - the "joints" of robots. Known also as Leaderdrive, the Suzhou-based company is China's largest manufacturer of harmonic reducers by market cap, with customers such as domestic humanoid company UBTech Robotics. In February 2026, Leaderdrive agreed to set up a joint venture with Taiwan's auto-parts supplier Minth Group in the U.S. to develop joint modules for humanoids. Jing joined Leaderdrive in 2014, three years after his younger brother Yuyu, now chairman, founded the company. Prior to Leaderdrive, Jing worked at several government taxation bureaus.
