Relations between the United States and China have not been this tense in 50 years. Some are calling it a new cold war, centered on tech.

China, for its part, says that the US is simply trying to stop its rise. Scott Kennedy presents a candid picture of where the relationship is headed and what that means for American businesses and business people in China.

Batteries are the new sexy. Companies like Tesla, Lucid and Sila Nanotechnologies are working on innovations that will lead to 50% reduction in battery costs and huge increases in range during the next 5-10 years.

The leadership in Beijing eyes a great leap forward to advanced tech - electric and autonomous vehicles, 5G and advanced manufacturing. But what about the "other China" - the 500 million day laborers beset with dimming prospects for employment?

One of China's leading EV startups, Xpeng, gained approval this week to list on the New York Stock Exchange. The Alibaba-backed company founded in 2014 is bringing an impressive P7 sport sedan to market this autumn that does everything it can (and more) to replicate the Tesla Model 3. The P7 has many Tesla-like performance chops, including range (416 miles), speed (0-60 in 4.4 seconds) and an autonomous drive system (powered by Nvidia) with self parking and summons features. If you have watched Tesla's stock go sky-high and have a fear of missing out, you will want to take a closer look at Tesla.
