In a new series of Tech Tonic from the Financial Times,

From the factories of Shenzhen, China's Silicon Valley, to Nigeria, where Chinese phones dominate,
and Germany, where Chinese electric vehicles may overtake the big car makers.

I'm James King, a long-time China reporter at the FT.
Join me as I travel the world to find out
if China is leapfrogging the West to global technological supremacy.
It's pulled apart that narrative that innovation depends on certain types of freedoms.
