China in 25: AI chips, national security and Chinese investments in Europe

“China in 25” - in our German language podcast, Mikko Huotari, Bernhard Bartsch and Claudia Wessling talk about current developments in China in 25 minutes.

In this episode we discuss a new escalation between the US and China in the area of high-performance chips and artificial intelligence, China's new national security white paper and arms exports, and China's investments in Europe, which have increased for the first time in years.
