China Decode: China Is Beating the U.S. in Space?!

About this episode

Alice Han and James Kynge discuss China's advancements in the space race and the implications of a massive wealth transfer in the U.S.

Alice Han and James Kynge break down how China is rapidly closing the gap in the global space race, with record-breaking launches, ambitious moon missions, and technology that’s raising eyebrows in Washington. Then, a massive $2 trillion generational wealth transfer is underway — but with no inheritance tax in place, what does that mean for inequality, government revenue, and the future of “common prosperity”? And finally: from robotic arms in orbit to robots in the kitchen. As AI and automation spread across China’s economy — even into dim sum kitchens — regulators are stepping in. But is China actually setting the global standard for how AI should be governed?Subscribe on Substack for ad-free episodes and much more! 👉 chinadecode.profgmedia.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
