China Decode: China's Renewable Energy Dominance in the AI Race

In this episode of China Decode, hosts Alice Han and James Kynge unpack how the U.S. and China are building the backbone of the AI era — massive data centers that are reshaping global energy use and government policy. They look at who’s paying for the AI boom, why electricity might decide the winner, and how China’s homegrown models are quietly catching up to Silicon Valley. Then, China’s newest aircraft carrier, and why it’s raising questions about Beijing’s military ambitions and the U.S. strategy in the Pacific. And finally — flying taxis might actually be here. Alice and James take to the skies with EHang’s new pilotless air taxi and what it says about China’s appetite for futuristic tech. Learn more about your ad choices.
