Chinese manufacturers playing catch-up in core technology

By Andrew Delios , By Zhou Nan 23 May 2023
Somewhat paradoxically, the trade decoupling of China and the US has forced Chinese manufacturers to independently develop their core technology, which is a boon to their long-term development and competitiveness. But it may be some time to go before China catches up with the West.

China stories: Let’s not always focus on the negatives

By Andrew Delios 11 Jun 2021
Andrew Delios, vice dean of the Master of Science Programmes Office at the National University of Singapore, observes that media reports have often cast a suspicious eye on China’s actions, even those that deserve to be celebrated such as the development of the Sinovac vaccine. Imbalanced and agenda-driven reports will only lead to greater distrust and suspicion among countries, just when the world needs to work together on constructive solutions.

And what is the point of a route of transportation, without a destination? He finds the answers in China's economic zones.
