Summary
Apparel, furniture and home appliances once served as the iconic "old three" of Chinese exports. Later on, the "new three" – electric vehicles, lithium batteries and solar panels – became the backbone of China's export growth. Now, China says the new "new three" – AI, robotics, innovative drugs – mark another upgrade in its industrial landscape. What is new about the new "new three" compared to the "new three"? How far can China go in its rise as a global tech power? Host Ding Heng is joined by Xiao Qian, Deputy Director of the Center for International Security and Strategy, Tsinghua University; Kashif Sharif, Associate Professor from School of Computer Science & Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology; Andy Mok, Author of the book "The Innovation Machine: How China Creates and Adopts Technology Through Governance."
