Episode notes

This chapter explores the investment potential in Northern Ireland and the responsibility of the government to attract investment. It also delves into the dilemma faced by First Minister Michelle O'Neill, balancing Northern Ireland's success with the goal of Irish reunification. Additionally, the chapter covers the upcoming election in Pakistan and the legal problems faced by former Prime Minister Imran Khan.

China’s national chip champions expect to make next-generation smartphone processors as early as this year, and Northern Ireland is trying to chart a path forward under a new, historic power-sharing agreement. Plus, a former Pakistan prime minister is barred from this week’s election but is using chatbots and social media to energise his party’s supporters.
