After almost a century of post-war prosperity and unrivaled American power, we've entered a new era, growing uncertainty and realignment as many of the world's nations now seek to challenge that dominance. And the race for American dominance in the development of artificial intelligence by just a tiny handful of tech billionaires has seemed to put us all on yet an even more perilous path.
If the world is changing at a dizzying pace, the forces driving that change are markedly different than they were a century ago.
In this, our first season, we're going to look at the impact of China in the years ahead. We will look at China's astonishing progress in new energy technologies, battery innovation and EV production, as well as its conflict with American power over semiconductors and microchips and the geopolitical significance of Taiwan. And we will look at the transformative force, for better or worse, of one single man, Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China.
We are crowdfunding to cover the cost of this podcast.
