China’s rapid emergence as a technical power creates new economic, political, security, and ideational challenges for Europe. Meeting them requires greater knowledge of China’s digital ambitions and their impact, as well as questioning long-held beliefs on how digital economies develop and how states and technologies interact. This podcast episode by the research consortium, hosted by DGAP research fellow Tim Rühlig, offers analysis and recommendations for recalibrating EU policy in light of China’s growing technological footprint.
For this episode, he speaks with two experts who have contributed to a report that will be published in January 2023 on the website of the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP). In this report, the authors unpack strategic technology sovereignty from China– a central policy goal of the European Union and its member states. The authors differentiate four goals of strategic autonomy:
- Resilience of supply chains
- National security
- Technological competitiveness
- Value differences
In this episode, the experts speak about the value differences in Europe and China in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
Speakers:
- Tim Rühlig, Research Fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations
- Kristin Shi-Kupfer, professor of Contemporary Chinese Studies at Trier University
- Sanne van der Lugt, research fellow at the Leiden Asia Centre in the Netherlands
