Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Hazelle Soon, co-founder and Chief Trainer of The Joyful Investors.

China’s technology story is evolving far beyond familiar names like Alibaba and Tencent.

We explore the rise of "hard tech" leaders including SMIC and CATL, and how they differ from platform giants such as Meituan, JD.com and Xiaomi.

What can the CSI STAR & ChiNext 50 Index and Hang Seng TECH Index tell us about the future of Chinese innovation?

We examine the intensifying AI race between China and the US, Nvidia’s renewed access to China, and where each country holds key advantages.
