► Instagram - In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha is joined by Einar Tangen to examine the significance of the latest Xi-Trump summit and what it reveals about the rapidly changing relationship between China and the United States.
Einar argues that one of the most important aspects of the meeting was the symbolism: Xi Jinping was treated as an equal by the United States president — something Einar describes as a potentially important shift in how China is viewed on the global stage.
But beneath the diplomacy are much harder questions.
Why does Washington need China’s rare earths? What does China actually want from the United States? Did the summit produce meaningful economic results, or was it primarily about keeping tensions under control?
The conversation also explores China’s enormous role in global manufacturing and supply chains, the possibility of a more multipolar international system, and why economic interdependence could make direct confrontation between the two countries increasingly costly.
Carl and Einar then turn to a different battlefield: artificial intelligence.
Is the AI boom becoming a bubble? What happens when companies invest billions in AI without generating comparable profits? And should AI development be governed through international rules rather than competing national systems?
The discussion goes even further into the future of education, technology, business, globalization and people-to-people diplomacy — including why actually visiting another country can challenge narratives that people absorb through the media.

Kuzmarov then traces the fallout in post-apartheid South Africa, where inequality persists and old structures endure. Add in the legacy of surveillance, propaganda, and Cuba's surprising role to help end apartheid.
