Every Thursday morning at 8:30, DGAP’s Research Institute brings together experts and high-level guests to discuss the latest developments in geopolitics. This week, we will look at China as an economic and geopolitical power. With new technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, China has developed a strategic approach to standard-setting. We will examine the Chinese strategy that challenges Western economic dominance – especially in crucial infrastructures – and discuss potential responses from a European point of view.
