Second Horizon is a European perspective on China’s global role — beyond the headlines.

Hosted by Pascal Coppens and Marcel Münch, this podcast explores the deeper signals shaping geopolitics, technology, industry, and economic power.

We don’t chase news cycles.
We look for patterns.

Each episode is structured around “signals” — shifts in macro trends, regulatory environments, industrial strategy, AI development, EV design, standardisation, and the evolving balance between China, Europe, and the United States.

From de-dollarisation and multipolarity
to Chinese AI ecosystems
to something as specific as EV door handles and what they reveal about systemic influence —

Second Horizon adds a second layer of interpretation.

Occasionally we invite guests from business, policy, academia, and technology to broaden the conversation.

If you want to understand China’s trajectory — not react to it — this channel is for you.
