Stayed in China: a domestic-brand boom

This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers three distinct topics: the rise of Chinese consumer brands amid a consumption slowdown, the growing influence of the Christian right in Africa and its ties to American conservatives, and Britain's dominance in Formula One racing and the potential lessons for other industries. The discussion on Chinese brands explores the shift towards local preferences driven by price sensitivity, quality, and a saturation of Western brands, while the segment on Africa examines the impact of American Christian conservatives on social issues and legislation. Finally, the episode investigates the success of Britain's "Motorsport Valley" and how its model of innovation and engineering might be applied to other sectors.
