Episode Title: 🇨🇳Made in China 2025: Digital Evolution & Global Tech Influence🇨🇳
We continue the #HTBRICSSeries on Heads Talk with a returning guest from three years ago, Ashley Dudarenok. Her first episode remains one of my personal favourites, and I’m delighted to have her back. This time, we reconnect to discuss how China’s fast-moving tech ecosystem has evolved and what its trajectory means for both global markets and the BRICS alliance.
Ashley is one of Asia’s most prominent voices on Chinese digital transformation and a leading expert in digital marketing, consumer innovation, and platform strategy. Based in Hong Kong, she’s the founder of two successful ventures guiding businesses through China’s complex market landscape - Alarice and ChoZan. A bestselling author, keynote speaker, and vlogger, Ashley’s insights are frequently featured on the BBC, CNBC, Forbes, Bloomberg, and The Wall Street Journal.
In this episode, we catch up on China’s shift from hypergrowth to strategic tech autonomy, its emerging leadership in global innovation, and how businesses worldwide can adapt to a rapidly evolving digital future.
