China Decode: The World Order Is Tilting Toward China (Series Finale)
15 september 2026 · 44 min
After a year of decoding China's rise, Alice Han and James Kynge sit down for one final episode, and they go big picture on where China goes from here. Lees meer
First: the real AI race isn't just about who has the best model — it's about who embeds AI into the physical economy fastest. China spent roughly 23x less than the U.S. on private AI investment in 2025, yet is shipping ten times more humanoid robots and deploying industrial AI robots at nearly nine times the U.S. rate. Alice and James dig into the shifting balance of AI talent, chips, and capability — and make their predictions on who leads next.
Then: a look at the broader balance of power. A striking Pew poll shows more countries now view China more favorably than the U.S., and the Lowy Institute's 2025 Asia Power Index recorded the U.S.'s largest-ever single-year decline in regional power. Alice and James weigh whether China's global-south strategy is paying off, and where Xi's leadership goes from here.
Finally: China's cultural export machine — from Ne Zha 2's record-breaking box office to Pop Mart's next blind-box phenomenon after Labubu, to TikTok's continued global growth. Is Chinese soft power just getting started?
And with that, a heartfelt thank you: this is the final episode of China Decode. Thank you for a year of listening, sharing, and following along as we explored the economy, politics, and culture of a country that will only grow more important to the world.

Alice Han and James Kynge look ahead to Trump and Xi's September 24 meeting in Washington, set against a busy stretch of Xi diplomacy, from the SCO summit to a first-ever trip to India, plus talk of a possible Trump-Putin-Xi trilateral in November. They dig into how trade, rare earths, and soybean purchases are shifting the leverage between the two powers, and whether the fight over AI dominance deserves more attention than the trade deficit. Lees meer
Then: Ruby Wang, author of China Cure: The Rise of a Biotech, AI Medicine and Global Health Superpower, joins to unpack China's rapid rise in pharmaceuticals — from faster, cheaper clinical trials to a wave of global licensing deals now worth tens of billions of dollars. She explains what changed since China was a clear follower in the market as recently as 2010, and what it means for U.S. pharma competitiveness.

China Decode: Is China Winning the Global AI Trust War?
1 september 2026 · 42 min
Alice Han and James Kynge start with the global AI race after an OpenAI system reportedly broke free and hacked into Hugging Face — a mess that pushed Hugging Face toward Chinese firm Z.ai's open-source model, and gave Z.ai an opening to argue China's open-weight approach is the safer one. They dig into a suspected Chinese bot farm quietly fueling U.S. opposition to AI data centers, Bill Gates's push for a sit-down with Xi on AI risk, and striking new polling on just how differently Chinese and American publics feel about trusting AI. Lees meer
Then: as U.S.-Canada trade talks collapse into a new round of tariffs, Alice and James ask who really benefits — and make the case that every dollar the U.S. and Canada spend fighting each other over autos is a dollar of market share flowing to Chinese manufacturers. Plus, how China is quietly benefiting from continuing to buy the vast majority of Iran's oil exports even as Washington threatens new sanctions.
Finally: a devastating glacier collapse on the Nepal-Tibet border has triggered catastrophic flooding, with the death toll climbing past 600 and thousands still missing across both countries. Alice and James look at China's response so far — and the new hazard that's already emerged downstream.

China Decode: Taiwan's Record Defense Budget, Evergrande's Life Sentence, and China's Robot Boom
25 augustus 2026 · 47 min
Alice Han and James Kynge start in Taipei, where the government has approved a record $35 billion defense budget for 2027 — an 18.2% jump — coming right on the heels of this year's Han Kuang drills, which mobilized nearly 22,000 reservists and adopted U.S.-style command tactics for the first time. They dig into what it means for Taiwan's military readiness, and whether this is more about deterring China or convincing Washington. Lees meer
Then: Evergrande founder Hui Ka Yan — once China's richest man — has been sentenced to life in prison for financial fraud on a staggering scale, closing the book on the world's largest corporate liquidation tied to the property sector. Alice and James ask whether the sentencing does anything to fix China's still-struggling housing market.
Finally: China's humanoid robot industry is booming — Chinese vendors account for 97% of global shipments — but who's actually buying them, and how much of the demand is real versus a "circular financing" loop that inflates the numbers?

China Decode: Microsoft's China Retreat, Remembering Zhu Rongji, and Typhoon Dolphin's Aftermath
18 augustus 2026 · 39 min
Alice Han and James Kynge break down Microsoft's five-year retreat from China — shuttered offices, closed retail stores, and thousands of jobs wound down — while the company quietly keeps selling Azure and AI services to Chinese giants like ByteDance and Shein. They dig into what's driving the pullback, whether this is the decoupling everyone's been warning about, and the irony that Microsoft's Beijing R&D center helped train alumni now leading rivals like DeepSeek and SenseTime. Lees meer
Then: former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji — the man who steered China into the WTO in 2001 and became known as "China's Thatcher" — has died at 97. Alice and James look at his legacy, from a 12x increase in China's global trade to the tens of millions of state-enterprise workers laid off along the way, and what the surprisingly unscripted outpouring of grief on Weibo says about China today.
