Tu and Lei start the pod out with an update on which manufacturers have been affected by the lockdowns and Covid outbreaks throughout China - Which are running and which aren't, areas to keep an eye on, and what to expect in the next few weeks. Tu explains what happens normally if there are supply issues at a factory, all of the parties involved, how accurate data needs to be, and how everyone has a timeframe to do it in order for the factory to continue to build. This leads to a discussion about Tesla's earnings call and how impressive they continue to be. Tu and Lei agree that ShanghaiGiga needs to get back online sooner than later if Tesla is to reach their goal of >1.5M units for 2022. The conversation shifts over to BYD's announced partnership with Horizon which BYD also happened to invest in. Lei summarizes the five EV debuts that came out within two days of each other - ALL coincidentally from the legacy automakers. Tu gives his opinion on these concept vehicles, one, in particular, that's he specifically critical of. The podcast ends with a deep dive on the F150 with both Tu & Lei pointing out how inspirational it is for an Asian woman to be the Chief Engineer of such an important product for Ford.

The pandemic will eventually subside. But ‘normal functioning’ of the economic relationship between the world’s two largest economies will be increasingly different to what it was before, according to a new report from USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow, Dr John Lee. The three Ds – decoupling, disentangling and diversification – are the likely US playbook to handle the messy economic separation. But how does this occur after decades of US supply chains relying on “Made in China”? Which sectors will be the most disrupted? What are the implications for Australia? To discuss these issues, the USSC hosted a webinar event featuring USSC Senior Fellow Dr Charles Edel in conversation with Dr John Lee, USSC Non-Resident Senior Fellow and the author of the recently published USSC report "US-China economic distancing in the era of great power rivalry and COVID-19".

February 19, 2020 Since several weeks, China is struggling with a severe coronavirus outbreak. China’s regime and its leader Xi Jinping are facing huge criticism in handling the crisis – both internally and internationally. Given this situation, questions arise on how an authoritarian state deals with such a crisis. Can China control an epidemic from the top down? What are the political and economic impacts? Where are potential pathways to instability? And what are currently the most important factors for stability in China? Which measures has the CCP taken so far and do they demonstrate strength or weakness of the system? How much time is left if it doesn’t want to fall from power? And what is at stake for Xi Jinping? In this episode of our MERICS Experts podcast, Victor Shih, one of the leading experts for elite politics in China, Associate Professor at the University of California, San Diego, and editor of the recently published book “Economic Shocks and Authoritarian Stability”, discusses these and other questions at stake with Kerstin Lohse-Friedrich, Director of Communications at MERICS.
