    Fraun­hofer FFB and the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mün­ster have ana­lyzed China’s dom­i­nance in the bat­tery sup­ply chain in a study. Chi­na con­trols almost the entire val­ue chain of lithi­um-ion bat­ter­ies, from raw mate­r­i­al extrac­tion to pro­duc­tion. Europe is almost entire­ly depen­dent on imports, which makes it vul­ner­a­ble to geopo­lit­i­cal ten­sions. Raw mate­ri­als such as lithi­um, cobalt and…

    Chi­na is mak­ing rapid progress in dis­rup­tive tech­nolo­gies, such as humanoid robots, brain-com­put­er inter­faces, quan­tum com­put­ers, and hyper­son­ic air­craft, blur­ring the bound­aries between sci­ence fic­tion and real­i­ty. These inno­va­tions are cen­tral to Beijing’s strat­e­gy for dom­i­nance in emerg­ing mar­kets, aim­ing to out­pace West­ern nations like the U.S. Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping empha­sizes fos­ter­ing orig­i­nal, ground­break­ing advance­ments…

    China’s 2025 inno­va­tion land­scape show­cas­es diverse region­al strengths. Hangzhou leads in tech, with gam­ing and robot­ics break­throughs. Henan’s retail sec­tor, exem­pli­fied by Pang­donglai, sees explo­sive growth, chal­leng­ing tra­di­tion­al inno­va­tion hubs. Chengdu’s ani­ma­tion, high­light­ed by “Ne Zha 2,” achieves glob­al cin­e­mat­ic suc­cess. This mul­ti­di­men­sion­al growth is fueled by entre­pre­neur­ial spir­it, state-pri­vate col­lab­o­ra­tion, and long-term vision. China’s…

    The EU faces sig­nif­i­cant chal­lenges with ener­gy waste and high prices due to insuf­fi­cient ener­gy stor­age. Despite rapid growth in renew­able ener­gy, the lack of stor­age means excess ener­gy is often lost, exac­er­bat­ing high ener­gy costs for indus­tries. In 2023, the EU wast­ed the equiv­a­lent of 0.5% of its total pow­er con­sump­tion. The EU’s new…
