Ep 15 - Trivium Tech - AI fever and the future of China’s private sector

The firehose of tech-related China policy developments has been at full blast over the past few weeks.

• And as always, Trivium is here to break down all the latest.

In this week’s podcast, Trivium China Co-founder Andrew Polk is joined by Trivium Partner and Head of Tech Policy Research Kendra Schaefer to discuss:

• Xi Jinping’s recent confab with private-sector tech executives
• What the meeting portends for private companies’ future role in advancing China’s tech ambitions
• The recent bevy of AI infrastructure investment announcements out of China
• How the recent DeepSeek revelation is driving it all
• China’s likely response to Trump’s America First Investment Policy

They also touch on whether “another DeepSeek” is lurking somewhere in China’s AI ecosystem, just waiting to be discovered – and how to find it.

If we do say so ourselves: This one is a can’t-miss, folks.

• We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did.
• We’ll have a lot more on all these topics in future episodes.
