Exploring strategic new frontiers, with Helena Legarda
Helena Legarda
Johannes Heller-John
China has designated cyberspace, outer space, the polar regions and the deep sea as “strategic new frontiers”. It sees competition with the US and Europe extending into these areas as well. Helena Legarda, Head of the Foreign Relations Program at MERICS, joins Johannes Heller-John to talk about what interests China has in these areas and how Europe can catch up ground it has lost over time.
Helena is the author of the policy brief "The Arctic, outer space and influence-building: "China and Russia join forces to expand in new strategic frontiers".
