A Fresh Take on Tech in China — with Rui Ma and Duncan Clark

Who do you think the Chinese government considers its biggest
rival? The United States, right? Actually, the Chinese government
considers its biggest rival to be its own technology
companies. 


It's China's tech companies who threaten its capacity to build a
competitive China. That's why the Chinese government is cracking
down on social media — for example, by limiting the number of
hours youth can play video games, and banning cell phone use in
schools. China's restrictions on social media use may be
autocratic, but may also protect users more than what we see
coming from the US government.


It’s a complicated picture.


This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're having a surprising
conversation about technology in China. Here to give us a fresh
take are two guests: investor, analyst, and co-host of the Tech
Buzz China podcast Rui Ma, and China internet expert and author
of Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built, Duncan Clark.
