Live Broadcast: Welcome to the Chinese Century

Whether you realize Whether it is or not, you are already living in the Chinese century. From batteries to milk to electric cars, China is certainly doing it better – while the rest of us keep our feet up and watch. China is ahead of the United States in the space race called for by Trump; China builds buildings in one day. China is light years ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to solar energy.

The upcoming China issue will highlight it all: the robot explosion, the energy revolution, and cultural appropriation. This is your chance to ask any burning questions about China’s dominance and influence in WIRED’s upcoming subscriber-only live broadcast on January 21 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT.
