Total length of the course: <1 hour
The U.S.-China rivalry is reshaping technology, trade, and the international order, but how much of the prevailing narrative holds up to scrutiny? In this conversation, interrogate the big concepts driving the debate, from a "tech cold war" and "weaponised interdependence" to China's pursuit of a global tech "sphere of influence", and examine the concrete battlegrounds where rivalry plays out: semiconductors, social media, standards, and the risk of war over Taiwan.
