Kling, Vidu, and Hailuo for video in mainland China (2026): close, no score

Kling, Vidu, and Hailuo are close on many shots. The catalog says they are not scored, and no same-prompt quality test was run. Kling is the first pick because the product is built around video and the mainland entrance is clear. Vidu’s reason to try it is reference images, not an overall win. Hailuo is MiniMax’s video entrance, and it is enough for trying one short shot. Jimeng is not in this group: it is the first pick for images.
