'Technology is not value-free'

Didi Kirsten Tatlow is a Senior Fellow at the Asia Program at the German Council on Foreign Relations. She has co-edited and co-authored a book, “China’s Quest for Foreign Technology: Beyond Espionage” that reveals Beijing's legal and illegal hunt for foreign technology. In an interview with China.Table, Tatlow urges the West to step up its determination to finally better protect innovations from Chinese takeovers. At stake, she says, is nothing less than our open form of society.

Stability for Xi – despite war, Covid and Evergrande

Although China is showing great resilience, it has lowered its growth target to 5.5 percent. In times of war and sanctions, there are simply no winners.
