    The cost of British Steel nationalization: What comes next?

    A Chinese company stepped in to save British Steel when few others would. Six years later, the UK government has stripped it of control. Was this a commercial decision, or another sign that geopolitics is rewriting the rules of global investment? What comes next? Who ultimately stands to pay the biggest price? And what lessons does this case hold for Chinese companies investing overseas? More importantly, could it reshape how China and the rest of the world view cross-border investment amid rising geopolitical tensions? Host Tu Yun joins John Gong, Professor of Economics, University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, Mike Bastin, a China observer and senior lecturer at the University of Southampton, and Bai Xianyue, Partner, Grandall Law Firm Tianjin Office for an in-depth discussion of the British Steel nationalization saga.

    The next phase of Hong Kong's financial evolution

    Beijing has unveiled a sweeping new package of measures to strengthen Hong Kong's role as the world's leading offshore renminbi hub and an international financial center. But why now? From expanding Bond Connect and offshore RMB liquidity to developing gold trading and new risk-management tools, are these measures simply deepening Hong Kong's financial markets or redefining its role in the global financial system? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Sean Chang, Academic Assessor, HKU SPACE, the University of Hong Kong, Dr. Zhou Mi, a senior research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, and Dr. Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor, Queensland University of Technology to unpack what's new, why it matters, and whether Hong Kong is on track to become a global pricing center for RMB-denominated assets.

    Working beyond retirement: What does China's new framework for over-age workers mean?

    Retirement, is it really the end of the road? China doesn't seem to think so. The country has unveiled its first nationwide rules to protect over-age workers, including eligible foreign employees. Why now? Will the new protections encourage people to work longer, or make employers think twice? And how does China's approach compare with other aging societies? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Lauren Johnston, Senior Research Fellow, AustChina Institute (Melbourne), Mr. Bai Xianyue, Partner, Grandall Law Firm Tianjin Office, and Dr. Li Lun, Assistant Professor of Economics, Peking University to explore what these landmark rules could mean for the future of work in China and beyond.

And amid global uncertainty and fierce competition for capital, can China remain one of the world's top investment destinations? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Zhou Mi, Deputy Director, Institute of American and Oceania Studies, Chinese Academy of International Trade & Economic Cooperation, and Dr. Yao Shujie, Chueng Kong Professor of Economics, Chongqing University to unpack China's latest foreign investment playbook.

    What could a Chery-Nissan partnership in the UK mean for the global auto industry?

    A Chinese carmaker. A Japanese factory. A British production line. Could this be the future of the global auto industry? As Chery considers building vehicles at Nissan's Sunderland plant, we examine whether this is simply a business deal or a sign of a new phase in China's automotive globalization? Why are Chinese carmakers shifting from exporting vehicles to building overseas production networks? How likely is this partnership to move beyond an MoU? And amid political, regulatory, and market uncertainties, could this become a blueprint for China's global expansion or a cautionary tale? Host Tu Yun joins John Gong, Professor of Economics, University of International Business and Economics, Mike Bastin, a China observer and Senior Lecturer, the University of Southampton, and Hans-Peter Burghof, the Chair of the Banking and Finance Department, University of Hohenheim for a close look.

    They are champions. They are trailblazers. And they're only 12 years old. A group of Chinese youngsters has stunned Europe, becoming the first Asian team to win Italy's prestigious Sigismondi Cup, often called the "Mini World Cup" of youth football. What did these players get right? Is this simply a remarkable youth football story? What lessons can China's football system learn? And can this generation finally help China return to the World Cup stage? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Liu Tianbiao, Professor at the College of Physical Education and Sports, Beijing Normal University, Mike Bastin, a China observer and senior lecturer at the University of Southampton, England, and Brandon Yates, CGTN Senior Content Editor and Sports Host, to explore the victory, the vision, and the future of Chinese football.

    China expands access to public services for non-Hukou residents

    China has unveiled a landmark reform that could affect hundreds of millions of migrant workers and their families. Supporters say it's a breakthrough for fairness and opportunity. Critics wonder whether cities can afford it and whether implementation will match ambition. Could this unleash new consumer spending and housing demand? Will China's biggest cities become even more attractive? And what happens to smaller cities if talent and people keep flowing away? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Lauren Johnston, Senior Research Fellow, AustChina Institute (Melbourne), Dr. Yao Shujie, Cheung Kong Professor of Economics, Chongqing University, and Dr. Muhammad Ali Nasir, Professor of Economics at University of Leeds and a visiting professor at Peking University to explore whether China is entering the next phase of urbanization and what that means for the country's future.
