SUMMARY:From China with Love
DESCRIPTION:‘China names Dutch spies online as Nexperia row lingers’; ‘The controversy over the collapsed China spy case explained’; ‘A former insider reveals how China spies on citizens at home and in the US’; and many more… \nThese are just a handful of recent headlines in the media. China is often accused of (industrial) espionage. How do these claims stand up to scrutiny? \nPerhaps not too well. In this CKN Knowledge Session\, China expert Fred Sengers argues that we often go too far in our fear of Chinese products and technology. Many concerns are actually phantom risks: they seem plausible at first glance\, but upon closer inspection turn out not to exist. This distracts from where the real risks lie\, fragments attention and resources\, and leads to excluding Chinese products where it isn’t necessary at all. \nExcluding Chinese tech also creates a false sense of security\, because the danger of espionage or sabotage usually does not come from a factory floor\, but from interconnectivity. State actors do not need a backdoor or kill switch; they exploit weaknesses and carelessness in their targets. \nIn the media\, politics\, and the security domain\, however\, this often leads to overreaction. People say we must not be naïve\, or “better safe than sorry.” But in doing so\, they ignore that the relationship also offers advantages or is sometimes simply unavoidable. Sengers developed a simple traffic light model to assess\, on a case-by-case basis\, where action is required. He tells a nuanced story that fewer and fewer people want to hear—but one they would do well to listen to.

SUMMARY:Reconnecting with China: Where architecture meets reflection
DESCRIPTION:Architecture is not a practice that operates in isolation\, architecture reflects culture\, societal values and objectives. Architecture promises ideals: creating cities of the future\, designing for a better world. But how do those ideals hold up in a time of fragmentation and friction? And what does the way we practice architecture tell us about the society we work in? In his recently published book Reconnecting with China\, John van de Water (NEXT architects) shows how building in China is never only about China but it is also about ourselves\, our cities and our future. Sometimes difference brings us closer in ways that agreement never can. This night he discusses his book with Dutch experts that have worked in China\, as well as Chinese architects that have travelled in opposite direction to practice architecture in the Netherlands. For a discussion blending lived experience with critical reflection on architecture and the societies it shows us. \nWith: Garrie van Pinxteren\, Carolyn Leung (Superimpose Architecture)\, Yang Zhang (Spring Onion)\, Jammy Zhu (Spring Onion)\nModerated by: Indira van ’t Klooster (Arcam)
