Join us for a breakfast briefing on Friday 17 January where Jamil Anderlini, the Asia Editor of the Financial Times and its former Beijing Bureau Chief, will discuss the rapid evolution of China's technology sector and its impact on the rest of the world.
Against a background of rising global tensions and the US-China trade war, Beijing is in single-minded pursuit of global leadership in a growing number of technologies, from humble microchips to Artificial Intelligence. Jamil will talk about China's chances of success and the potential winners and losers from its strategy.
