The New East Asian Studies Podcasts in the Age of AI
In this episode, we explore the driving forces behind China's foreign policy, including its response to U.S. containment strategies, the trend of counter-globalization, and the role of digital technology. Drawing insights from the perspectives of YAN Xuetong, a leading Chinese academic, we discuss how Beijing navigates strategic competition with Washington while maintaining its opening-up policies initiated in 1978. The conversation also covers China’s focus on digital cooperation through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its opposition to Cold War-era ideological divides in global technology partnerships. Join us to better understand the complexities of China’s approach to achieving national rejuvenation in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
