The Geopolitics of AI: China vs the U.S., Taiwan, Greenland & Global Power

Dela

AI is no longer just a technology story — it’s a geopolitical one.

In this episode, I’m joined by Hung Lee, creator of Recruiting Brainfood, to unpack how AI is reshaping global power.

We explore why Greenland has suddenly become strategically critical, why Taiwan and TSMC sit at the heart of the U.S.–China rivalry, how China’s AI strategy differs fundamentally from America’s, and why energy policy, EVs, and rare earths may matter more than algorithms themselves.

We also examine why Russia is falling behind, why Europe is struggling economically, and whether representative democracy creates long-term disadvantages in an era of technological competition.

This is a wide-ranging conversation about power, incentives, systems, and the future world order.
