China is no longer a distant second in the global game, it's now leading the pack. Whether you're charging your smartphone or sipping on a cold glass of milk from a bottle that was just manufactured in China, the country's dominance is undeniable.
As the world watches in awe, China is rapidly closing the gap with its arch-rival the US, leaving many scratching their heads as to how this has happened so quickly. The speed at which China is advancing in various fields - robotics, energy, solar power and even cultural influence - has left experts scrambling to keep up.
On January 21st, WIRED's panel of experts will come together for a subscriber-only livestream that promises to shed some light on the many ways in which China is rewriting the future. The event, which will be streamed live on this page at noon ET / 9 am PT, offers subscribers a chance to ask burning questions about China's influence and dominance.
The panel will feature three experts - Sandra Upson, Features editor at WIRED; Zeyi Yang, Senior writer at WIRED covering technology and business in China; and Will Knight, Senior writer at WIRED covering AI. Together, they promise to provide an unbiased view of the biggest tech news coming out of China.
But why is China doing it better? The answers will be revealed during the livestream, which promises to cover topics ranging from robotics explosions to energy revolutions. For those who can't make the livestream, a replay will be available after the event.

they're literally leaping over the us in tech and innovation it's like they're on another level altogether i mean robotics energy solar power and cultural influence are just some of the things china's got going for them and now they're leading the pack 
I'm so hyped to watch that livestream on jan 21st 
and get some answers from those experts sandra zeyi and will knight they're gonna spill all the tea 
about how china's doing it better than everyone else lol let me know what u guys think! 
. But seriously, it's mind-blowing to see them leapfrogging in robotics and energy sectors.
. They're not just building on existing tech, but creating new ones from scratch. And let's be real, their government's support for the program has been a game-changer 
.
. We've seen some of their practices spark controversy, so it'll be interesting to hear from experts on this panel about how they're tackling these issues.
i mean i've been seeing all these cool products and stuff online but i never thought they'd actually surpass the us 
my phone is chinese lol did they manufacture milk bottles too? 
that sounds kinda gross but also kinda awesome how are they doing it so fast tho? 
and it's not just energy either, their cultural influence is getting bigger by the day 
. gonna have to tune in and find out why china is doing it better 
. It'll be interesting to hear from the experts during the livestream - hopefully they can give us some insights on what we can learn from China's approach 
. I mean, I get it, China's been working hard on their tech game and all that, but does that really have to be at America's expense? It feels like we're always playing catch-up when it comes to innovation. And what's with the emphasis on robotic "explosions"? Is that even a thing? 
️.
. And it's not just tech – their culture is becoming so influential that you can even get a cold glass of milk from a bottle made in China 
.
. And now, with experts weighing in on their influence and dominance, I'm intrigued to see what we can learn from them 
.
. but what's even more interestin' is how china's cultural influence is spreadin' globally 
.
It's like china's got this whole new vibe going on and we're just trying to catch up 
The question is, what's behind this sudden rush of innovation and progress? Is it some new tech secret or something? 
. But seriously, have you ever noticed how everything from your phone to your dairy products is made in China? It's wild. Anyway, a panel of experts is getting together to discuss the whole "China taking over" thing. Should be interesting, I suppose
