Ep 106 - Green China: Sovereignty through Green Tech

About this episode

The episode discusses China's indigenous approach to green technology and its implications for sovereignty and global relations.

Rae and Jeremy are joined by Ashwin Shantha of the Journal of International Solidarity to discuss the ways in which (and the reasons why) China has developed an indigenous approach to green technology. We talk NEVs and solar panels through the lens of sovereignty, socialism, and anti-imperialism. We get into the relationship among the Imperialist West, China, and the rest of the Global South.
