Wind and Wires: China Tests Europe’s Lead in Wind Power and 5G
Published 30 August 2022
The US-China rivalry has often overshadowed Europe, and the role the continent plays in the global race to lead in critical and green technologies. Several European nations have found success in critical industries such as wind power and telecommunications. The Association of Foreign Press Correspondents in collaboration with the Hinrich Foundation organized a webinar on 11 August 2022 to discuss the European leadership in wind power and 5G technology and the rising challenge from Chinese competition.
