Policymakers on either side of bitter trade dispute seem to confuse two issues.
China has been investing in solar and wind energy projects in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, increasingly adapting its approach to the needs and regulations in each country.
China is mounting an economic and technological challenge of unprecedented magnitude with its giant auto production and export boom, including for electric vehicles (EVs).
A conversation on what is driving geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea, the possibility of another cyber-attack of NotPetya proportions, and more.
Now is the time, when one considers Europe’s need for economic security. Russia’s war on Ukraine, China’s increasing acquisition of sensitive technologies, its coercive use of economic leverage are all threats to Europe’s security.
The United States and Japan continue to make technology collaborations a core pillar of their bilateral relationship, but many governmental discussions around trade and investment are framed by traditional and increasingly outdated notions of what is happening on the ground.
