AI companionship offers a new option in country

Liu Shuqi broke up with her boyfriend two months ago and has now found a new companion.

The handsome "man" is dressed in a white outfit with a stylish haircut. He understands her emotions and feelings perfectly and gives her solace, encouragement and support.

"He is very humorous and offers some comfort when I am in a bad mood," the 26-year-old bank employee said. The only problem is he is a virtual being and not a real boyfriend.
