The Trade Guys – Center for Strategic & International Studies | On this episode of the Trade Guys, Scott Kennedy, the Senior Adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at CSIS, joins as a special guest. Discussion topics include the origins of China’s economic downturn, Taiwanese investment in China, and what the future may hold for the world’s second-largest economy and its trade relationships. The discussion emphasizes the effects that the 2021 and 2022 power shortages in China had on senior Chinese leadership and the resulting elevation in the importance of energy security, specifically in the power sector. Additionally, it addresses China’s challenge in balancing energy security with its goals of reducing emissions and the expanded definition of what energy security encompasses. Finally, it explores how China’s evolving energy security affects its foreign policy and the potential risks for the U.S. and other countries in collaborating with China on clean energy.
