Join Wharton Club of Hong Kong for a roundtable on Geopolitics with Ken Lee, who is no stranger to Wharton Club, having done two insightful talks based on his research before.
Geopolitical turbulence, Tariffs, and fight for AI supremacy lead to many opportunities and threats
- China has a golden window of roughly three years (during Trump’s current term) to launch a charm offensive and broaden its global sphere of influence. What strategic moves might China make?
- The recently passed GENIUS Act, which legitimises USD stablecoins, is a landmark event. Some even call it “Bretton Woods 2.0” or the new “Digital Bretton Woods.” But why? What are the implications for the U.S. and other major economies? And how might the world respond?
- With AI dominating conversations everywhere, it seems we are nearing — if not already at — the peak of the AI “hype cycle.” So, what comes after AI? This isn’t Sci-Fi — the next wave of technology is already here.
- We’ll also discuss the rapid proliferation of humanoid robots in China, shifting consumption patterns among Gen Z, and whether the data center trend is approaching its end.
