This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Wayve's OEM partnership with Nissan, Nuro's Series E capital raise and why the Uber/Waymo partnership in Austin does not guarantee future deployments. Wayve is going to power Nissan's next-generation ProPILOT technology starting in fiscal year 2027. The deal with Nissan validates Wayve's business model of licensing and raises the question of is Nuro next in line to secure a major OEM partnership? As the autonomy economy evolves, licensing autonomous driving systems is going to accelerate fragmentation, potentially benefitting both Uber and Lyft. In Austin, Waymo is available exclusively through Uber. While early signs point to success, it's far from guaranteed that the partnership will scale beyond Austin and Atlanta, especially as Waymo continues to expand on it's own with Waymo One.Episode Chapters0:00 Wayve Partners with Nissan 3:12 Autonomous Driving OEM Partnerships 5:24 Nuro Series E7:12 Autonomous Driving Partnerships Ecosystem 13:01 Could Tesla xAI Swap Assets?17:19 Zoox Expands Testing to LA18:27 Will Zoox Launch Commercial Service in 2025?20:25 Waymo Needs More OEM Partnerships 23:40 U.S. / China Policy 28:00 Europe / China Policy 31:19 Uber / Waymo Austin Data 36:49 Unforced Error of The Week38:52 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, April 11, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy® is a leading source of data, insight and commentary on autonomous vehicles/trucks and the emerging autonomy economy™.Autonomy is transforming industries and creating an entirely new economy that we call the autonomy economy™.

** Exploring China's Economic Shift and Data Insights with Robert Wu**Introduction to Robert Wu and His ExpertiseConnect with RobertVisit BigOneLabRead BaiguanRead China TranslatedIn this episode of the Asia Business Podcast, we have an engaging conversation with Robert Wu, a respected figure in the field of economic analysis and business strategy. Robert is known for his insightful writings and is the author of "China Translated," a newsletter that offers a deep dive into China's economic trends and their long-term impacts. He is also the co-editor of Baiguan, which provides data-driven insights into China's business sector, and the CEO of Big One Lab, a data-centric market research company.China's Economic Transition: From Investment to ConsumptionThe episode begins with a discussion on China's economic transition towards boosting domestic consumption. Robert emphasizes a pivotal shift in policy thinking, focusing on the relationship between investment and consumption. Historically, China's economy has been heavily skewed towards investment, leading to impressive infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities. However, this model has reached a tipping point, requiring a rebalancing towards consumption to sustain growth. Robert suggests that while the government recognizes this need, the shift requires long-term structural changes and cannot be achieved overnight.Obstacles to Enhancing Domestic ConsumptionArt and Robert explore the challenges in increasing domestic consumption in China. Contrary to some perceptions, Robert asserts that China's safety nets, including healthcare and education, are relatively robust. However, he highlights issues such as child care expenses and regional disparities that need addressing to encourage consumer spending. Cultural factors also play a role, with older generations tending to save rather than spend. Robert predicts potential policy initiatives, such as birth subsidies, to incentivize higher consumption levels.The State of Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital in ChinaThe conversation shifts to the state of entrepreneurship and venture capital in China. Robert paints a picture of a changing landscape, where U.S. capital, a significant driver of China's VC scene, has withdrawn amidst geopolitical tensions. This retreat has forced local entrepreneurs to adapt, focusing more on sustainable, profitable operations rather than relying on VC funding. Although this environment poses challenges, Robert sees it as an opportunity for businesses to build solid foundations, paving the way for a resurgence in entrepreneurial activity.Government Policies and Economic BalanceArt and Robert delve into the complexities of China's government policies, particularly the balancing act between fiscal stimulus and avoiding moral hazards. Robert provides insights into how the government carefully manages domestic economic policies, recognizing the challenges posed by local government debt and the need to drive consumption. Through careful prioritization and measured interventions, Robert believes China aims to sustain growth while preventing excessive risk-taking by local governments.Navigating Regulatory Environments and Market ReactionsThe episode also touches on China's regulatory environment, where crackdowns on sectors such as online education and FinTech have sparked debates. Robert acknowledges the government's need to manage these industries while also recognizing the importance of considering broader market reactions. By learning from past experiences, the government aims to communicate more effectively and avoid unintended economic consequences.Conclusion: An Objective Look at China's Economic DynamicsIn closing, Robert emphasizes the importance of maintaining an objective perspective when analyzing China's economic dynamics. Despite facing various challenges, the country continues to present significant opportunities for businesses and investors. Through his writings, Robert aims to shed light on the complexities of China's business environment, encouraging a balanced and well-informed discussion. Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome01:27 Robert Wu's Background and Career Journey05:55 China's Economic Evolution and Policy Shifts14:03 Challenges in Boosting Domestic Consumption19:43 The State of Venture Capital and Entrepreneurship in China27:37 Challenges in VC Funding and Entrepreneurship29:16 VC Funding: A Double-Edged Sword30:21 Government's Fiscal Discipline and Economic Priorities31:05 Balancing Fiscal Stimulus and Moral Hazard35:40 Sector Crackdowns and Policy Implications41:21 Navigating Misinformation and Bias46:38 The Motivation Behind Writing and Sharing Insights51:02 Conclusion and Future Plans ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

In this episode of Hold Your Fire! Richard is joined by Crisis Group experts Olga Oliker, Michael Wahid Hanna, Renata Segura, Ali Wyne and Amanda Hsiao to talk about Donald Trump's return to the White House and what it means for the world, whether the wars in Europe and the Middle East or crises and flashpoints elsewhere. He first talks with Olga about Trump's pledge to end the Ukraine war. Does that means subjugating Kyiv to Russian influence? What does a more transactional Washington portend for NATO and European security? Richard and Michael then look at how a Trump presidency might approach Israel's war in Gaza and Lebanon, its confrontation with Iran and Middle East politics more broadly. Renata lays out what to make of Trump's stated plans for mass deportations and his next administration's Latin America policy. Richard then speaks with Ali and Amanda about China policy under the next Trump administration, the prospect of tariffs on Chinese exports and flashpoints around Taiwan and in the South China Sea.

What we have seen so far this week is markets buoyed by recent announcements regarding China policy stimulus but then troubled by developments in the middle east. Coming up, we expect rate cuts in India, Korea and New Zealand next week, and from the ECB soon after. We are recording this podcast ahead of US Payrolls data which has become an increasingly critical release for markets. Chapters: US (02:17), Europe (07:54), Asia (10:54)

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a raft of measures announced this week to stimulate the economy. Topics include: A pop to the stock market just in time for the PRC's 75th anniversary, stimulating mergers and acquisitions, whether this week's measures indicate more relief in the months to come, and more. Then: The disappearance of prominent economist Zhu Hengpeng, and a reminder of structural problems under Xi that have continued to intensify, regardless of monetary policy. At the end: The Ministry of Commerce announces that the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger is under investigation, the US Commerce Department moves forward with a proposed rule that would effectively ban Chinese vehicles from the US, and a Substack post offers a taxonomy of Democrat China policies and questions about who might set the agenda for a Kamala Harris administration.

Dear listeners, we hope you missed us during the long summer break! Now, we're back, and hope you'll join us again for another in-depth episode dealing with a rapidly expanding element of China's energy transition: offshore wind. Today, we're talking about China's offshore wind sector and how it compares to the strategies pursued by Western countries, typified perhaps by the example of Norway. Our guest is longtime Beijing Energy Network member Erlend Ek, who was posted to Beijing and lived in China for over 15 years. He is now senior research strategy and energy lead with China Policy. Erlend has over this time headed a long list of commissioned research projects across a diverse range of topics, including China's industrial development, trade policy, regional economic coordination, and the economic zones system. His master's thesis is entitled: "China and Norway: who leads in offshore wind energy and why? A study in motivation." Key points addressed in the podcast: How China's offshore wind industry started out, and how it compares to the rest of the world. (It started late, but is now largest in the world by far.) How China's offshore wind compares technologically. (China has mastered almost the complete supply chain, but so far mainly competes for domestic projects.) The role of policy versus markets in China in offshore wind. Erlend points out that the Chinese state plays an important coordinating role, and a very active role in setting objectives, but relies heavily on the market for efficient outcomes within that context. How China's strategy differs from that of Norway and other countries more focused on "technology neutral" or "low cost" approaches to the energy transition. The two main critiques of China's energy transition and whether they are valid: (1) that subsidies have declining effectiveness and rising costs, meaning they are ultimately unsustainable in bringing about a transition and overly costly, and (2) that the private sector is inherently better at deciding where society should invest than the public sector or policy makers. How China localized the wind industry and whether its criticisms of industrial policies in Europe make sense. Whether other countries can compete with China in these fields, even with the best policies, given its scale and other advantages. Episode produced by: Anders Hove (This episode is a re-post of yesterday's episode, which was missing around 1 minute of content towards the end.)

There has been a significant transformation in Europe-China relations over the past decade, with a shift from economic optimism to cautious de-risking. While Europe has sought partnerships with China, particularly in industrial and technological sectors, there are increasing concerns about economic dependencies that may be leveraged by Beijing for political gain. The Russia-Ukraine war has further complicated the dynamic, as China's support for Russia has created divisions within Europe regarding how to engage with China moving forward.In this episode, Janka Oertel explains the key drivers behind Europe's changing relationship with China and the ongoing debates in European policy circles about how to reduce dependencies on Chinese goods, technology, and investments without completely decoupling. She emphasizes that de-risking is not a simple, one-size-fits-all strategy but rather a complex process that varies across European countries and industries.The episode also discusses how China has sought to deepen relationships with countries in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans, providing investments through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to gain access to EU markets. Oertel notes that while some EU countries have welcomed Chinese investments, others are growing increasingly wary of Beijing's intentions.The conversation touches on how Europe is looking to collaborate with India and the Global South as part of its broader strategy to diversify partnerships and reduce its reliance on China. The discussion highlights the importance of political will on both sides to make the EU-India relationship a cornerstone of future European foreign policy.Episode Contributors:Janka Oertel is the Director of the Asia Program at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).

There are many factors that have led to China's more assertive foreign policy, especially under Xi Jinping. In this episode, Helena Legarda discusses the centralization of power within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and how this has influenced China's strategic ambitions on the global stage. She also highlights the increasing role of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in defense diplomacy and how various domestic agencies, including think tanks and local governments, contribute to shaping China's foreign policy.The conversation also touches on the CCP's reliance on nationalism as a source of legitimacy, especially in the face of economic challenges. Helena discusses how this heightened nationalism impacts China's foreign relations and the challenges it poses for the international community.Additionally, the conversation explores the evolving relationship between Europe and China, particularly the European Union's strategy of "de-risking" rather than decoupling from China. Legarda provides insights into how Europe's changing stance towards China might influence global geopolitics and the role that countries like India could play in this new strategic environment.How does China balance its ambitions for global leadership with the growing challenges at home? What role does defense diplomacy play in China's foreign policy? And how are global powers like the EU and India adjusting to China's rising influence?Episode ContributorsHelena Legarda is a lead analyst with MERICS. Her research focuses on China's defense and foreign policies, including their domestic sources and drivers, and their geopolitical impact.
