Stop the World TSD Summit Sessions: Economic security with Abigaël Vasselier
In the next episode of The Sydney Dialogue Summit Sessions, it’s all about economic security.
ASPI’s Executive Director, Justin Bassi, interviews Abigaël Vasselier, head of the Foreign Relations team at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin.
They discuss – and debate – how the EU and individual member states have responded to Russia’s war on Ukraine, Beijing’s use of economic power to coerce and the increasing alignment and cooperation between Beijing and Moscow.
They also talk about critical technologies and supply chain vulnerabilities; and how Beijing has taken advantage of inconsistencies and different national approaches to security, including on policies such as 5G in Germany.
The Sydney Dialogue (TSD) is ASPI’s flagship initiative on cyber and critical technologies. The summit brings together world leaders, global technology industry innovators and leading thinkers on cyber and critical technology for frank and productive discussions. TSD 2024 will address the advances made across these technologies and their impact on our societies, economies and national security.
