Podcasts about China

This week on Sinica I'm joined by Robert Wright, author of The Moral Animal, Nonzero, and The Evolution of God, for a conversation that runs a little outside our usual beat, though China sits closer to its center than you'd expect. The occasion is his new book The God Test: Artificial Intelligence and Our Coming Cosmic Reckoning, which reads the AI revolution as the latest turn in a story going back billions of years. We get into the French Jesuit paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin's "noosphere," Bob's argument that we evolved large language models rather than engineered them, the cognitive empathy we've both long preached, and the two-word talking point — "But China!" — that Bob thinks is most likely to lead us astray.6:56 – Teilhard de Chardin, the noosphere, and why a planetary "global brain" has become necessary14:49 – Directionality without the mysticism: complexification, teleology, and the "cell's-eye view" worry21:57 – The God Test: is moral progress really the price of governing AI, and is that hopeless on a short clock?28:33 – Why Bob says we evolved large language models rather than built them, and the sycophancy problem that follows35:19 – Open weights and open source: a real safety argument, or competitiveness in safety's clothing?40:03 – Cognitive empathy as the master key, and the same capacity as an engine of deception48:06 – Arms-race fatalism and its limits: cheetahs, gazelles, and the rival who can pick up the phone53:40 – "But China": fear of Beijing, Anthropic and Amodei, Jeff Ding, and the chip-control backfire1:10:48 – Nonzero: game theory, common threats, and the takeoff scenarios that worry Bob most1:23:22 – Attribution error and projection, Ed Fredkin's old warning, and the actual first movePaying It Forward: Garrison Lovely, author of the forthcoming Obsolete (Nation Books) and the Substack of the same name on the AI race.Recommendations:Bob: Pantheon, the animated series on uploaded minds and emergent superintelligence; and the Crowded House song "Don't Dream It's Over."Kaiser: Kyle Chan's High Capacity podcast, especially his episode with Carnegie's Matt Sheehan, "Is China Getting Worried About AI?"; and Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Michael Pettis joins Alan Dunne for a wide ranging conversation on trade imbalances, globalization and the future of the world economy. Drawing on decades of research into China, Europe and financial history, Pettis argues that persistent trade surpluses are ultimately rooted in domestic income imbalances rather than national competitiveness. The discussion explores why China struggles to rebalance, why Europe may face its biggest challenge yet, and how US reindustrialization could reshape global trade. From Bretton Woods to modern tariffs, this episode offers a provocative framework for understanding the forces driving the next phase of the global economy.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on LinkedIn.Follow Michael on X.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Michael Pettis warns that the real trade reckoning may still lie ahead01:07 - Introduction to Michael Pettis and his background in finance and economics06:34 - Why trade imbalances are ultimately driven by income imbalances09:59 - Germany's Hartz reforms and the roots of European imbalances17:22 - Competitiveness versus productivity and the hidden costs of wage suppression27:48 - China's growth model and why rebalancing has proved so difficult35:54 - Who will absorb China's trade surplus if the US closes its deficit?40:24 - Can the United States successfully reindustrialize?45:31 - Why Europe may eventually turn toward protectionism52:17 - The US deficit, global capital flows and the burden of dollar dominance01:01:50 - Why the renminbi is unlikely to replace the dollar01:10:45 - Historical trade imbalances and how painful adjustments unfold01:16:21 - What Japan's experience reveals about China's future01:21:02 - Final reflections on debt, globalization and economic adjustmentCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

A researcher, Edtech expert, and PhD candidate studying the intersection of AI, learning, and human experience, Kris brings a rare combination of academic rigor and real-world application to the question every principal is quietly asking: is all this technology actually helping? His work with Play Piper puts him at the front lines of how kids interact with screens — and what happens when that interaction goes wrong. Kris has been studying and speaking about screen usage in learning environments since 2013, long before most districts had a policy on the subject. AI policy still doesn't exist in most school districts in 2026. Meta and YouTube just lost a major court case over intentionally building products harmful to kids. And the principals who bought Edtech tools during COVID are still living with implementations they never had time to design properly. Kris returns to the RuckusCast to name the problem clearly: technology in schools is being treated as the experience instead of a tool within the experience — and that distinction is costing students more than anyone wants to admit.

Since then, he has helped more than 100,000 people across 47 countries transform their health, wellbeing, and quality of life through Wisdom Healing Qigong.In this conversation, we explore:• Why so many successful people feel exhausted despite their achievements• The hidden connection between energy, confidence, and performance• How stress and mental noise disconnect us from our natural vitality• The role of Qigong in restoring clarity and resilience• Why empathy and presence are leadership skills in today's world• Practical ways to reconnect with your energy and sense of aliveness• Ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience on healing and wellbeingIf you're a leader, entrepreneur, or ambitious professional feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers a powerful perspective on what it means to thrive—not just perform.

In this episode, Madelyn O'Farrell talks with Celadyne founder and CEO Gary Ong about how a new membrane material can unlock the full potential of electrochemistry for hydrogen, long-duration energy storage, and critical material separations. Gary shares his journey from PhD researcher to startup founder after big corporates passed on his invention, then explains how Celadyne's membrane dramatically reduces hydrogen crossover, boosting fuel-cell durability and cutting critical materials in electrolyzers. They dive into the grid-capacity crunch facing hyperscalers, why hydrogen plus electrolyzers and fuel cells makes sense at 50–100+ MW scale, and how salt-cavern storage enables multi-day and even week-long clean power from solar. Gary also unpacks the geopolitical race over hydrogen technology between the U.S. and China, the strategic role of hydrogen for defense and fuel logistics, and closes by arguing that the real constraint to building next-generation energy and AI infrastructure in the U.S. is workforce development and the shortage of skilled trades. Highlights from their conversation include: Gary's Journey From PhD to Energy Tech Founder (0:44) What Celadyne Does and Why Electrochemistry Matters (2:11) Reinventing Membranes and Unlocking New Markets (4:54) Grid Capacity, Hyperscalers, and Long Duration Storage (7:14) Electrolyzers Plus Fuel Cells for Multi Day Energy (10:45) Why Power Price Matters Less Than Compute Productivity (14:21) Geopolitics, China, and The Hydrogen Technology Race (15:29) Hydrogen's Role in U.S. Energy Mix and Resiliency (19:59) Defense Use Cases, Submarines, and Synthetic Fuel (20:56) Air Force Funding and Early Defense Partnerships (25:27) Workforce Development as the Real Infrastructure Bottleneck (26:58) Closing Thoughts on Reindustrialization and Skilled Trades (28:58) Dynamo Ventures is a venture firm backing founders upgrading the physical economy.

The United States and Iran have negotiated a deal following a period of military conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, leading to a 60-day ceasefire to allow for continued nuclear negotiations. Under the preliminary agreement, shipping will resume through the critical Strait of Hormuz without Iranian interference. The director of Heritage's Center for National Defense Robert Greenway joins the Rundown to discuss the nuances of the negotiations, Iran's crippled enrichment capabilities, and the role of Israel in regional security. Some of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence models have just been abruptly taken offline. Following an emergency export control directive from the Trump administration, AI pioneer Anthropic disabled its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models due to severe national security anxieties. The federal intervention came after Amazon officials alerted the White House that a simple "jailbreak" technique allowed users to completely bypass safety guardrails—raising alarms that rogue states or bad actors could exploit software flaws to launch catastrophic cyberattacks. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted joins the Rundown to dissect the federal government's high-stakes "pause" on frontier AI and the delicate needle policymakers must thread between out-innovating China and defending domestic infrastructure. Also, Sen. Husted discusses his tough reelection campaign. PLUS, commentary by Joe Abraham the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien.

The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran was apparently signed over the weekend, but the text remains a mystery to most. Donald Trump says he'll release it and even read it himself so nobody can misunderstand it. If it's such good news, though, why not put it out right now? Israel isn't a fan of it, nor are those who believe we've abandoned the Iranian people by making a deal with the IRGC. At the same time, there may be a silent majority that cares less about the politics and more about the price at the pump. And that's what caught my attention.Since the beginning of May, with Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, gas prices in the United States have fallen. Not by a little, but by a lot. The national average has gone from roughly $4.50 a gallon to $3.50. That happened while the strait was closed and before any memorandum of understanding was announced. The White House wasn't bragging about it. They weren't loudly telling Iran that the closure wasn't working. That made me think something else was going on.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.After digging through it, I've been able to dig up a few explanations. The most public, I'd argue, was the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Department of Energy released more than 53 million barrels as part of a broader international effort, bringing the reserve down to its lowest level since 1983. There were also reports that the United States was helping move oil out of the Gulf using some of the same techniques Iran has historically used to evade sanctions. American production remained high. Every hint of a peace deal pushed oil prices lower. Global demand softened. China sharply reduced its purchases on the open market. Alternative routes around Hormuz became more important. Gasoline inventories improved. All of it pushed prices down.If I rank the reasons, peace-talk optimism sits at the top. Strategic reserve releases bought time. American-supported workarounds moved real barrels. Demand destruction, especially with China stepping back, reduced pressure. Improved gasoline inventories helped. Some of the more speculative theories include sanctions waivers for Iranian oil, greater tolerance for shadow-fleet shipments, and alternate export routes making Hormuz less decisive than Iran hoped.What stands out is that there were more American incentives to get to the table than Iranian ones. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a temporary band-aid. Smuggling oil out of the Gulf is risky. Every day the Strait of Hormuz remained closed carried economic and military risks. That helps explain why the White House wanted a deal. Iran had incentives too, especially if China was no longer buying at previous levels, but the balance of pressure appears different than many expected.My assumption remains what it has been for weeks: there are multiple power centers inside Iran, and the biggest question is whether any deal can survive them. The Ayatollah is gone, much of Iran's leadership structure has been shattered, and the IRGC itself appears divided between factions willing to make a deal and hardliners who want to keep fighting. The memorandum of understanding may give us a clearer picture when we finally see it. Until then, the biggest question isn't whether a deal exists. It's whether anyone on the Iranian side can actually enforce it.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:38 - Iran and Gas Prices00:31:47 - Update00:32:04 - UFC 250 Terrorism Plot00:37:46 - Russia-Ukraine00:39:48 - Primaries00:42:48 - Interview with Maria Curi01:11:46 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Investor and writer Jayant Bhandari offers a pessimistic assessment of current global geopolitics and the decline of Western civilization. Bhandari argues that the world is entering a period of extreme chaos characterized by persistent conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, as well as rising global inflation. He provides a particularly harsh critique of India, describing it as a dysfunctional and corrupt state that is currently de-industrializing despite international propaganda to the contrary. A central theme of the discussion is the impact of mass migration, which Bhandari claims is importing a “third-world mentality” that threatens the demographic and cultural stability of the West. In contrast, he praises East Asian nations like China and Japan for maintaining social homogeneity and suggests they represent the most stable future for investment. Ultimately, Bhandari warns individuals to diversify their assets and residencies to survive increasing state surveillance and societal decay.

This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll and Chris Green of International Crisis Group join the podcast to discuss a Seoul court's decision to sentence former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison, finding that he orchestrated a drone operation that sought to provoke a North Korean response and create a pretext for declaring martial law. The episode also explores Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to Pyongyang, the absence of denuclearization from official summit readouts, China's increasingly pragmatic approach to North Korea's nuclear status and the prospects for expanded trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.  Finally, Chad and Chris preview the upcoming West Coast Exchange, a three-day gathering of Korea watchers, diplomats, journalists, academics and policymakers. They discuss the event's emphasis on informal networking and field visits, the value of off-the-record conversations and why participants often gain as much from discussions outside the conference room as they do from the formal sessions. About the podcast: The NK News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Alannah Hill exclusively for NK News, covering the latest developments in and around North Korea. Each episode breaks down the week's news cycle with NK News journalists, analysts and expert guests.

Marc Berte is the Co-founder and CEO of Overview Energy, a startup developing space-based solar power systems designed to turn existing solar farms into around-the-clock power generators. By placing satellites in geosynchronous orbit, collecting near-continuous sunlight, and beaming energy back to Earth as safe near-infrared light, Overview aims to dramatically increase the utilization of solar infrastructure already deployed around the world.  In this episode of Inevitable, Marc explains how space solar works and how Overview's approach differs from decades of prior space solar concepts. He talks about the economics of “photon fuel,” the company's gigawatt-scale agreement with Meta, and the concept of “supply response”—delivering power exactly where and when grids need it most.  The conversation explores the manufacturing challenges of deploying thousands of satellites, the role of defense and energy security applications, and why the long-term value of solar assets could change dramatically if space-based power delivery becomes commercially viable.  Finally, he shares one of the more unconventional engineering stories you'll hear this year: how 75 pounds of Otter Pops helped cool Overview's airborne power-beaming demonstration system.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A revolution can start with noble words and still end in terror. So why did the American Revolution produce a durable constitutional republic instead of the familiar slide into chaos and tyranny?We sit down with Tom Hampson to unpack the claim that America's founding is a “minority miracle” and why the Declaration of Independence makes what may be the most consequential political statement in history: our rights are God-given, not government-granted. From there, we follow the hard logic that comes with it. If rights don't come from the state, the state's job is limited. If rights do come from the state, then power can redefine them, revoke them, and punish dissent whenever it gains a majority.Along the way, we compare America's path with revolutions in France, Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran, and we talk about how revolutions often consolidate power, weaponize “justice,” and devour their own. Read the Article Here on Tom's SubstackWe also wrestle with present-day fault lines: corruption and dependency, censorship and selective enforcement, voting rules and public trust, and the deeper question of whether a society can remain free without civic virtue. We tie it to the personal level through Solzhenitsyn's insight that the battle between good and evil runs through every human heart, and we ask what courage looks like after recent cultural tests like COVID-era fear and professional retaliation for speaking up.If you care about natural rights, limited government, civic virtue, and the future of American freedom, this conversation is a gut-check and a call to think clearly.

In one of the most explosive episodes of Two Mikes, investigative journalist and former War Room insider Jack Maxey joins Dr. Michael Scheuer, Colonel Mike, and Freedom First Network founder Jeff Dornik for a wide-ranging discussion on Steve Bannon, the We Build The Wall controversy, Miles Guo, presidential pardons, intelligence agencies, and the corruption they believe continues to shape American politics. Maxey shares firsthand stories from inside the Bannon orbit, discusses the fallout from the We Build The Wall case, and offers his perspective on why many of America's most powerful institutions appear unwilling to investigate politically connected figures. The conversation expands into Hunter Biden's laptop, federal law enforcement, intelligence community failures, censorship, China, AI infrastructure, surveillance, and whether elections alone can solve the deeper problems facing the United States.

As the Bay Area summer heats up, more people are spending time by the water, and sometimes you might catch the rhythmic and competitive sounds of Dragon Boat Racing. The sport is over two thousand years old and originates in China. The boats are long, thin and often decorated with dragon heads and tails. They are also very fast, powered by a team of either 10 or 20 people, these boats are propelled quickly with top tier teams hitting an average of 70-80 strokes per minute. And this Saturday the San Francisco Dragon Boat Festival is kicking off its first races at Lake Merced! Reporter Jacky Chiu, headed down to Lake Merced to bring us this story from 2016.

El 10 de junio Dario Amodei, fundador de Anthropic, publicó una reflexión en la que pedía una regulación seria y vinculante para la inteligencia artificial. Dos días antes su empresa había lanzado Fable, una versión recortada de Mythos, el modelo de lenguaje más potente del momento. El viernes 12 de junio el Gobierno Trump le concedió el deseo de la peor manera posible. Por segunda vez en cuatro meses descargó una bomba sobre Anthropic. El Gobierno prohibió el uso de Fable y Mythos para los extranjeros escudándose en razones de seguridad nacional. Eso implicaba que nadie que no fuese estadounidense podía usar estos modelos, incluyendo a muchos empleados de la empresa que los ha desarrollado. Anthropic respondió apagándolos por completo, ya que cumplir esa orden les resultaba imposible. Mythos lo empleaban en ese momento unas 200 empresas e investigadores para monitorizar y parchear fallos de software en sectores como la banca, la sanidad y la industria. Todos se quedaron sin la herramienta de un día para otro. El origen de todo estuvo, según parece, en Andy Jassy, consejero delegado de Amazon, inversor en Anthropic y a la vez su competidor. El equipo de Jassy aseguraba haber conseguido que Fable revelara vulnerabilidades de seguridad nacional si se le hacían las preguntas de un modo concreto. A partir de ahí las versiones varían. David Sacks aseguró que el Gobierno pidió a Amodei arreglar o retirar Fable y que se negó. Anthropic habla solo de una orden de bloquear a los extranjeros. Tampoco ha quedado claro el soporte legal, los analistas apuntan al mismo reglamento de control de exportaciones que impide la venta de cierto tipo de chips a China. Para muchos el objetivo verdadero era simplemente castigar a una empresa concreta a la que Trump considera de izquierda radical y de estar fuera de control. No es, recordemos, la primera vez que el Gobierno carga contra ella. Hace unos meses Pete Hegseth sacó a Anthropic del Pentágono. Para la empresa esta polémica no podía llegar en peor momento, están ultimando su salida a Bolsa este otoño y sus principales competidores como OpenAI lo aprovecharán hasta el final. Varios expertos en ciberseguridad han relativizado la amenaza que supone Fable y Mythos. Aseguran que las pruebas solo han destapado vulnerabilidades menores ya conocidas. El domingo un grupo de expertos muy reconocidos en el ámbito de la seguridad informática firmaron una carta colectiva en la que pedían levantar el veto, ya que está dejando sin las mejores herramientas precisamente a quienes vigilan la seguridad de la red. Para los aliados más próximos como Australia, Canadá o el Reino Unido la imposibilidad de poder utilizar estos modelos es una bofetada que les equipara a Rusia o Irán. Pero esto de la IA se ha convertido ya en una lucha de carácter geopolítico y ahí no hay amigos, o los hay pero hasta cierto punto.

Today's phrase: 人类丰容 (rén lèi fēng róng) To keep animals engaged and make life more interesting for them, zookeepers often provide what's called "enrichment"—activities or environments that add variety to their daily routines. But what about humans? On the Chinese internet, there's a trending term called 人类丰容 (rén lèi fēng róng) – "human enrichment." It's all about adding small moments of novelty to break up the routine of everyday life. So why this idea is resonating with so many people? Let's dive in. Welcome to The China Code, where every two weeks we break down a trending Chinese internet buzzword. CONTACT THE TEAM We'd love to hear your feedback or suggestions for future buzzwords!

Part two of Ashe's conversation with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast picks up where Space Revolution Ep. 22 left off, and this time they go further out. Literally. From China's 30-year plan to dominate the space economy to SpaceX's Earth-to-Earth rocket that can get you from LA to Singapore in under 20 minutes, this episode is equal parts geopolitical reality check and genuine wonder. Kwast explains why China is building battleships while America builds better buoys, what a livable space habitat actually looks like, and why Elon Musk's "future of human consciousness" comment still bothers Ashe. The answer, as always, is not a technology problem. It is a moral one.

The United States and Iran have negotiated a deal following a period of military conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, leading to a 60-day ceasefire to allow for continued nuclear negotiations. Under the preliminary agreement, shipping will resume through the critical Strait of Hormuz without Iranian interference. The director of Heritage's Center for National Defense Robert Greenway joins the Rundown to discuss the nuances of the negotiations, Iran's crippled enrichment capabilities, and the role of Israel in regional security. Some of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence models have just been abruptly taken offline. Following an emergency export control directive from the Trump administration, AI pioneer Anthropic disabled its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models due to severe national security anxieties. The federal intervention came after Amazon officials alerted the White House that a simple "jailbreak" technique allowed users to completely bypass safety guardrails—raising alarms that rogue states or bad actors could exploit software flaws to launch catastrophic cyberattacks. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted joins the Rundown to dissect the federal government's high-stakes "pause" on frontier AI and the delicate needle policymakers must thread between out-innovating China and defending domestic infrastructure. Also, Sen. Husted discusses his tough reelection campaign. PLUS, commentary by Joe Abraham the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien.

Discover how Hapware's AlEye wristband pairs with Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to translate facial expressions, body language, and gestures into intuitive haptic feedback. Learn how this innovation can restore non-verbal communication for blind, low vision, and deafblind users. Expanded Summary This episode of Double Tap dives into the world of assistive wearables with Hapware co-founder Jack Walters. AlEye is a wristband that detects up to 27 non-verbal social cues—including smiles, waves, and even a middle finger—and translates them into discreet vibrations on the user's wrist. By integrating with Meta's smart glasses through their wearable SDK, Ally provides real-time cues without cloud processing, prioritising privacy and low latency. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece explore how AlEye can improve communication in social and professional environments, why customisation and user control are key, and how Hapware is addressing privacy, edge processing, and future capabilities like spatial awareness and face recognition. The discussion also touches on Meta's donation of Ray-Ban smart glasses to 130,000 US veterans and Be My Eyes' expansion to Huawei's HarmonyOS AppGallery, opening up accessibility to millions in China.

It's one thing to say you're going to create the "Chinese lesbian version of BEFORE SUNRISE (1995)"; it's another thing to actually pull it off.In EPHEMERA (2026), the debut feature for filmmaker Shan Jiang which premiered at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, it appears she has done just that. It took global producers, a fantastic team, and a truly extraordinary story in how she found the actors, but the film will stand as wide shoulders for so many people and so many future projects.In this episode, we talk about:how she describes EPHEMERA and whether "unhurried" is an adjective she likes to describe the film;the incredible story of how she got involved in filmmaking;her storytelling philosophy, which has been described as " inhabit[ing] familiar narrative tropes and bends them from within to allow new perspectives to emerge" (an amazing quote);the global producers that made EPHEMERA and the concept of China as an entity reacting to a lesbian-focused film; what she took away from this experience for her next feature;finding the incredible actors in this film;what she learned from rehearsals with the actors in a film that is very dependent on them;her direction philosophy in this film and what she views as her job in regarding to structure;why Tribeca ("it's coming home for this film") and the Chinese film festival market;what's next for her.Shan Jiang's Indie Filmmaker Highlight: Celine Sciamma; Peter GreenwayLinks:Follow Shan JiangFollow EPHEMERA On Instagram

Donald Trump und seine Unterhändler haben eine Absichtserklärung mit dem Iran vereinbart. Doch noch bevor der Deal unterschrieben ist, arbeiten beide Seiten schon an der Deutungshoheit über das weitere Vorgehen. Für den US-Präsidenten selbst ist die Übereinkunft ein Triumph – aber wie erfolgreich sind die Verhandlungen wirklich gelaufen? Um die Hintergründe zu der Erklärung, die Ende der Woche unterzeichnet werden soll, geht es in dieser Folge. Außerdem geht es um den G7-Gipfel in Évian, wo ein fast schon vergessener Konflikt wieder in den Fokus rücken soll: der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine. "Amerika-Effekt – Donald Trump und die neue Weltordnung" nimmt jede Woche unter die Lupe, wie die USA – und vor allem Donald Trump – die globale Politik neu vermessen. WELT-USA-Korrespondentin Stefanie Bolzen spricht mit den WELT-Redakteuren Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth sowie internationalen Korrespondenten über Machtverschiebungen, Allianzen und Konflikte. Ob harte Handelspolitik und neue Zölle, der veränderte Umgang mit NATO-Partnern oder der Druck auf internationale Institutionen – der Podcast zeigt, wie Trumps Kurs bereits konkrete Folgen für Europa, China und den Nahen Osten hat. Analytisch, nah dran und verständlich erklärt, ordnet „Der Amerika-Effekt“ das tägliche Washington-Rauschen ein und macht klar, warum Entscheidungen im Weißen Haus die Welt weit über die USA hinaus verändern.

In this episode of the Used Car Dealer Podcast, Zach sits down with Jeff Martin, CEO of the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA), to preview the upcoming NIADA Convention & Expo in Denver and discuss the biggest issues facing independent dealers today. Jeff shares what makes this year's Denver event unique, from NIADA's education-focused breakout sessions and networking opportunities to a closing general session covering the China wave, TikTok, and how dealers can connect with the next generation of buyers. He also explains why affordability, inventory, and FTC advertising-price expectations are among the most urgent topics dealers are asking NIADA to address. The conversation also covers wholesale trends, incoming EV supply from rental and lease channels, how dealers are adapting to high interest rates, and why liquidity matters more than ever. Jeff also shares his perspective on AI adoption, the misconception that AI is simply coming to take jobs, and why education is the biggest opportunity for independent dealers right now. Zach and Jeff also discuss NIADA's advocacy work around right to repair, universal title, compliance support, government relations, and the association's evolving role through boot camps, webinars, state association partnerships, and the return of the Certified Master Dealer Program.
