This week, the panel 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.
