In this episode of Geoeconomic Competition, Francesca Ghiretti sits down with Kayla Blomquist, Co-founder and Director of the Oxford China Policy Lab. In this second episode of the series on AI, we look at the AI ecosystem in China: the existing offer, the dependency risk that offer may bring, the lifecycle of an AI company, how the offer and debate around agentic AI and AGI is developing and whether the future of China's offer will remain open weights.

In this episode of Geoeconomic Competition, Francesca Ghiretti sits down with Ngor Luong, Senior Policy Analyst on the Technology and Innovation team at the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, to unpack China's approach to AI: why Chinese labs have embraced open models, how her "Two Loops" framework explains the way China's open AI strategy strengthens its industrial position, and what the global spread of Chinese AI means for U.S. policymakers and businesses. She joined the conversation in her personal capacity, and her views do not represent those of the Commission.
