What Now? with Trevor Noah · Alice Han: Chinamaxxing · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

In fact, it has more of a historical experience of other countries wanting to try to take it over.

The British tried, obviously, and to some extent failed.

in the 1800s, but they did manage to take Hong Kong, for instance.

So it's just a different, it's a different framework, a different historical legacy.

But I think in the last two decades, the Chinese understand, and I think this has really been borne out by the Iran crisis.

is that you need to have influence a little bit everywhere.

Like with the Gulfies, with the Africans, with the Russians, you know, have negotiations and deals everywhere so that if like there's a straight of home use crisis and 50% of hydrocarbons gets destroyed,

taken off the table for a period of time, then you can find resources to replenish your stockpiles and import from other places around the world.

So that's the way that I look at it is it's less of an empire and it's more of a network of influence on trade, on geopolitics, on supply chains.

oh yeah, for sure, is that robots are going to help with the demographic challenge and robots are going to be the next major export.

Like EVs and solar panels and batteries were a decade ago.

Taking care of elderly people.

Yeah, and then you have more task-specific robotic installations already happening in factories.

So dark factories that are completely devoid of humans, basically, and it's just machines, robotic machines.

Then you have certain hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that use, again, robotic arms to pick out somebody's orders or prescriptions without a human as well.

That's happening.

And then some really interesting stuff that is more in the brain chip interface that's happening, both invasively and non-invasively.

So on the non-invasively front, they have this device that sits on the skin that basically is able to control the brain so that you can control an arm.

A robotic arm, an external arm.

So if you have an amputee, there's a company called BrainCo that's doing it.
