In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu investigates the recent fatal crash involving the Xiaomi SU7 EV that left three university students dead while the autonomous navigation system was activated. Next, we discuss China’s Ministry of Foreign Affair’s response to increased U.S. tariffs and what the invocation of Maoist rhetoric means as trade tensions escalate between the two countries. Lastly, Miles analyzes the Volt Typhoon cyberattack efforts against critical U.S. infrastructure, and what this series of widespread attacks means for a potential future conflict involving Taiwan.
