The race for tech supremacy: The U.S. vs. China
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
China produces at least 70% of the worldβs drones, electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and solar cells. And with the U.S. stockpile of munitions diminished from the Iran war, would the U.S. have what it needs to defend Taiwan if China invaded? Terry Gross talks with New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos about his latest story, βThe Future Made in China.β βThe irony here is that we are in some ways beholden right now to the Chinese factory in order to produce the munitions that we need to defend American interests from China. Thatβs the exquisite problem that we’ve found ourselves in,β Osnos says.Β
