President Xi's New Year Message on Taiwan's future

Live TV debate on NewsX, India's fastest-growing and award-winning English-language news channel with over 100 million viewers. (The Indian interlocutor misrepresented President Xi's remarks. "Our generation" doesn't mean Xi's personal lifetime, but the current generation of the Chinese people as a whole. Beijing's military drills are meant to deter separatist moves and to create a momentum towards negotiations for peaceful unification.)

Innovation in the Fast Lane: Discussing China’s Auto Industry - CSIS podcast

An insightful podcast dated 12 August 2024 interviewing Michael Laske, a sage American veteran auto industry consultant in China. The podcast is part of the China Field Notes series hosted by leading US China expert Scott Kennedy, senior adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Washington D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Both experts have decades of leading hands-on field work inside China. Their balanced take throws light on how, with an all-society ecosystem of joint ventures, technological manpower, government direction, and mastery of full-spectrum supply and value chains including a digitally-connected economy, China has emerged relatively rapidly from a student of internal-combustion-engine (ICE) cars to becoming the new Detroit for electric vehicles (EVs), automobiles of a hopefully-greener 21st century.

U.S. and China: Edging Toward the Brink?

US and China: Edging towards the brink? - Under the auspices of Washington D.C. based Aspen Institute, Niall Ferguson, the celebrated historian who predicted Cold War II in 2018, assembled some of the sharpest minds from both sides for an in-depth debate (Aspen Ideas Festival) on the future of U.S.-China relations, featuring David Daokui Li, Andrew Erickso, Keyu Jin, and Matt Pottinger.

The debate is extremely useful as it sharpens the often-twisted popular rhetoric, focussing on how best to "read China" with more productive perspectives, including difference in national psyche, cultural DNAs, the Taiwan issue, China's new "Generation Z", China's pragmatic priorities in the coming decades, and the need for more people-to-people exchanges.
