Global Tech Wars - China’s Race...

James Kynge

How China’s next wave of innovation is reshaping the global balance of power 
 
For decades, China’s economic rise has been symbolized by the unstoppable force of low-cost manufacturing. Today, a new and far more disruptive wave of competition is unfolding, one that threatens not just Western manufacturing but also the West’s geopolitical dominance. 
 
In Global Tech Wars, Financial Times’ veteran journalist James Kynge delivers a gripping analysis of China’s rapid technological ascent. No longer confined to low-end goods, China is now leading in cutting-edge industries: artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, surveillance technology, robotics, and more. Big Western corporations are facing multiple disruptive shocks. 
 
What does this mean for the future? Will China’s technological leadership translate into global geopolitical dominance? Drawing on deep research, exclusive interviews, and firsthand insights, Kynge unpacks the seismic shifts already underway—shifts that will redefine economies, industries, and global power structures in the years ahead. 
 
With expert analysis and urgent storytelling, Global Tech Wars is an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our future.

About Your Instructor
 
I'm Elisha Goldstein, author of The Now Effect and most recently Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depression with Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. For over 15 years I've been studying and teaching the psychology, neuroscience and practice of uncovering happiness in everyday life.

  turn the volume down on our negative thinking,
  lower our stress,
  heighten states of joy and
  wire in the balance and confidence that we can all learn and attain.

 
This has been my experience, the experience of thousands of people I've worked with and is also backed by the latest science.
 

 
About The Symposium

· How to practically bring them into your daily life

Quit Everything - Interpreting...

Franco Bifo Berardi

Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable. 
 
 
 
Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future? 
 
 
 
In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. 
 
 
 
Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.
