China has potential to become world’s largest consumer market by 2041, policy adviser says

Mainland China, already a manufacturing powerhouse, has the potential to become the world’s largest consumer market within the next 10 to 15 years, driven by consumer spending on services where Hong Kong maintains a distinct competitive advantage, according to a prominent Chinese policy adviser. The country’s share of global consumption could rise by about one percentage point every one to two years, surpassing 20 per cent over the next decade or decade and a half, said Chi Fulin, president of..

Comparing current trade tensions between the European Union and China with the trade conflict between Europe and Japan in the 1970s and 1980s reveals striking...

What Changes When Your Software Supply Chain Includes AI Writing Your Code?

Software supply chain security was hard enough. Then AI joined the build pipeline. For five years, "software supply chain security" meant one question: what's in your code? Which open-source packages, which versions, which transitive dependencies three layers deep that nobody chose on purpose? SolarWinds, Log4Shell, and XZ Utils all taught the same lesson: the risk lives less in the code a
