    Is Europe's de-Sinicization push about security or economic self-harm?

    From new supply chain rules and punitive tariffs to restrictions on Chinese technology in Europe's green transition, Brussels is taking increasingly aggressive steps to reduce dependence on China. But is the EU strengthening its economic security or undermining its own competitiveness? Can Europe really replace China's industrial ecosystem? Will these measures protect European industries, or will they raise costs for businesses and consumers alike? And as tensions rise, how might Beijing respond? Host Tu Yun joins LIANG Linlin, the Director of Communication and Research at the China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union, Dr. John Glen, Chief Economist at the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply, who's also a visiting fellow at the Cranfield School of Management, and Dr. John Gong, a professor with the University of International Business and Economics for a close look.

    What DeepSeek V4 signals for the global AI race beyond computing

    China's DeepSeek AI startup has unveiled its latest model, reportedly at just a fraction of the cost of comparable U.S. systems. Could that price edge help it win over users? Reports say the launch was delayed to align with Chinese-made chips, marking a shift toward domestic hardware. Is that trade-off worth it? And after a stark warning from Nvidia's CEO and fresh pressure from Washington, what does this moment mean for DeepSeek's global presence? Host TU Yun joins Thorsten Jelinek, a research fellow at the Hertie School's Center for Digital Governance, Berlin, Germany. He is currently a visiting professor at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; Dr. Zhou Mi, a senior research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation; and Josef Mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations at the East China Normal University to break down what DeepSeek V4 signals for the AI race beyond compute.
