Xi Jinping is speeding through his quest to absolute power. When a Chinese leader seems to be setting off an avalanche of socio-cultural change, we know there will be consequences. While we keep a watchful eye on him, we look at the legacy of someone else who once had a particular vision of the world: Bin Laden. More specifically, his (unexpected) legacy 20 years after 9/11. We also hear directly from the German State Secretary about democracy in the post-Merkel transition. While we analyze North Africa’s tumultuous summer, we also discuss the future of the automobile industry and why Europe needs to step its AI up. |
