  • Are the battles over 5G and artificial intelligence purely technological, or do they imply choices between competitive ideologies in a changing world order?
  • Can we distinguish between technologies that bring risk and those that do not as a basis for deciding on whether to cooperate with China?
  • Can the US and the EU find common approaches to this challenge?
  • What do China’s immediate neighbours think?
  • How does China itself define security and how does China’s leadership implement this definition?
  • Can we separate technology and geopolitics?
