The Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE) was proud to host the much-anticipated webinar titled “A Tale of Two Blocs – European and Chinese Approaches to Digital Ecosystems Governance”. This webinar delved into the critical issue of digital governance across two major global powers: Europe and China.
The webinar, moderated by CERRE Executive Chairman Bruno Liebhaberg, featured an enlightening discussion between Angela Zhang, author of the acclaimed book “High Wire: How China Regulates Big Tech and Governs Its Economy,” and Werner Stengg, Senior Expert in Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager’s cabinet, and author of the upcoming book “Digital Policy in the EU: Towards a Human-Centred Digital Transformation”.
Within the frame of CERRE’s ongoing project, Global Governance for the Digital Ecosystems (GGDE), these two heavyweights shared their perspectives on the different regulatory approaches in the EU and China, on the respective interests and values that underpin each model and how international efforts towards convergence are faring.
