How alarming is China's tech ambition – and is there any limit to their quest for industrial dominance? From contentious recruitment policies, corporate espionage and not to mention the ten thousand meter hole they’re drilling into the centre of the earth, the nation seems desperate to bolster its position.

Alex Andreou is joined in The Bunker by Dr Rogier Creemers to understand Xi’s quest for scientific world domination.

“China needs technology but doesn’t want to pay for it.”
“If you think you can predict what will happen in China, you’re a liar or a fool.”
“The west received junk which is probably already at the bottom of a landfill as China raked in billions in revenue.”
