Ahead of Trump's visit to Beijing last week, Alice Ekman joined Radio France's 'L'invité de 8h20' (in French) to discuss the implications of the trip. "China is establishing a new balance of power," she remarked. "It believes it must surpass the US, but to do so, it must initiate a coalition dynamic, particularly with Russia." Alice also noted that China hopes to overtake the US by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the PRC's founding, across all sectors.

Video of the interview is also available.
