Are the US and China Decoupling?

November 20, 2019 By Mable-Ann Chang

Given their ongoing differences, what will the future of China-US relations look like? After more than 40 years of growing ties, the economies of China and the US are now deeply intertwined, and decoupling to any degree would mean a disentangling of enormous complexity.

Nothing but Blue Skies: Is Your Flying Taxi Finally on the Way?

October 30, 2019 By Bennett Voyles

Until now, only billionaires, world leaders, and James Bond villains flew to work, but someday soon, you too may have a faster commute: many companies around the world are hard at work on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, essentially super-sized drones designed to whisk two to four people from one side of a […]

Shelter For Innovation

October 23, 2019 By Dominic Morgan

After Ofo: How the Bike-sharing Firm’s Collapse Changed China’s Tech Sector

May 13, 2019 By Dominic Morgan

But the young entrepreneur has now come to resemble a modern-day Ozymandias: all that remains of Ofo’s bike-sharing dream are the battered, unusable yellow cycles still littering China’s streets. The collapse of the Beijing-based startup, which just two years ago was valued at $3 billion, has captivated China over recent months.

Unplugging America: Is China Ready to Reduce Reliance on Foreign Technology?

April 17, 2019 By Jens Kastner

October 27 of 2018 was supposed to be a historic day for China’s growing aerospace industry. Landspace, a Beijing-based startup, was set to become the first private Chinese firm to launch a rocket into outer space. Then, at 6:40 pm, a fault occurred. Soon after, Landspace declared the mission a failure. A few weeks later, SpaceX completed its 20th successful launch of 2018. It is unfair to draw sweeping conclusions based on the performance of just two companies, but it does serve as a reminder of how far China has to go before it rivals the US as the world’s leading technological power.
