Geoeconomic Competition

In this episode of Geoeconomic Competition, Francesca Ghiretti sits down with Kayla Blomquist, Co-founder and Director of the Oxford China Policy Lab. In this second episode of the series on AI, we look at the AI ecosystem in China: the existing offer, the dependency risk that offer may bring, the lifecycle of an AI company, how the offer and debate around agentic AI and AGI is developing and whether the future of China's offer will remain open weights.

In this episode of Geoeconomic Competition, Francesca Ghiretti sits down with Ngor Luong, Senior Policy Analyst on the Technology and Innovation team at the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, to unpack China's approach to AI: why Chinese labs have embraced open models, how her "Two Loops" framework explains the way China's open AI strategy strengthens its industrial position, and what the global spread of Chinese AI means for U.S. policymakers and businesses. She joined the conversation in her personal capacity, and her views do not represent those of the Commission.

China's economic miracle is over — so what now? Francesca Ghiretti sits down with Logan Wright, author of Broken China: How the Economic Miracle Shattered and What It Means for the World, to unpack why the slowdown runs deeper than most assume, why there is no quick fix, and why betting on tech won't save Beijing. Plus, what a weaker China means for Europe and the world.

This is a repost by Geoeconomic Competition of Trade-Off, the podcast of DG Trade and Economic Security at the European Commission (https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/trade-podcast_en). So this time, the host is Brian Talty, and your usual host, Francesca Ghiretti, is a guest, together with Denis Redonnet, Deputy Director-General at DG Trade and Economic Security and Rene Summer, Director of Government and policy Advocacy at Ericsson.
Trade isn't just about tariffs—it's about trust. This episode of Trade-Off explores how Europe can stay open while reducing vulnerabilities, and why economic security is about resilience, not protectionism.
