【KC’s Perspectives: Foreseeable Future Thought】 In a recent
video,
ANBOUND’s founder Kung Chan elaborated the longstanding issues with new energy vehicles (NEVs), particularly concerning safety risks associated with lithium batteries. In contrast with the Chinese approach to NEVs, which is characterized by traditional automotive manufacturing practices, Elon Musk’s Tesla's approach is innovative and disruptive. Tesla's success stems from its unique market positioning, which places NEVs as a luxury product akin to expensive “toys”, said Chan, contrasting sharply with the commoditized and price-driven approach prevalent in the Chinese NEV industry.
Science and technology should have been powerful weapons for humanity to overcome disasters. Evidently, U.S.-China scientific and technological cooperation carries the responsibility and expectations for improvement on the global development circumstances. There are several some approaches towards decision making in this regard, discussed
Yi Wang, Head of Global Development Program and Senior Researcher at ANBOUND. Firstly, countries can appoint their own national "science and technology affairs envoys". Secondly, developing cooperation should have efforts made to establish accountability mechanisms. Furthermore, dialogue, discussions and public debates between foreign research institutions and think tanks in different countries and cities should be encouraged. Additionally, intellectual property rights and scientific ethics knowledge shall be input into primary and secondary education in various countries, and this is especially true for China.
>>In the period of intensified deglobalization and geopolitical competition, Chinese enterprises are eager to adhere to the strategy of "going global" to access the world market and maintain sustainable development. There should also be the realization, compared to the traditional globalization period of the past, that profound and systemic changes have undergone in the current and future world markets. It requires Chinese firms to be based on objective assessments of geopolitical risks and an understanding of changes in the global market, effectively coping with opportunities and risks, writes
He Jun, Director of Macro-Economy Research Center and Senior Researcher at ANBOUND.
>>【ANBOUND GEOPOLITICAL REVIEW】 Are not all the current problems caused by the Establishment, which has held power for years? The answer is yes. Can problem creators become problem solvers? Any rational person would have such doubts, and the answer is likely to be negative. The world is probably still waiting for mature leaders to emerge from the non-establishment, hoping that they will become problem solvers rather than continuing to create more and bigger problems. This is the trend of the times and the wish of the people. The end of an era and the beginning of a new era are both realized by non-traditional figures. Whether Donald Trump is one non-establishment mature leader is not important, in the opinion of
ANBOUND’s founder Kung Chan. >>
