Pandaily.com是一家向世界科技社区介绍中国创新的英文媒体，而TechBuzz China by Pandaily是其旗下向硅谷介绍中国创新的英文播客。

TechBuzz China by Pandaily is a weekly technology podcast that is all about China's innovations. It is co-hosted by Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma who are both seasoned China watchers with years of experience working in the technology space in China. They share and discuss the most important tech news from China every week with commentaries from investors, industry experts and entrepreneurs.

This week on TechBuzz China, our hosts tackle two ambitious stories. First, Rui talks about the seven-year ban the U.S. government announced on sales of American components to Chinese telecom equipment and systems company ZTE, and the overwhelming response from Chinese tech media, which has called the ban a "very rude awakening." China has earmarked billions of dollars for semiconductor R&D and investment, but what impact do these funds have? What is going wrong, and what does this all mean for China's place on the global tech stage?

Ying-Ying covers responses to the report released by Human Rights Watch about sexist hiring practices in China's tech sector. The Western media response lies in stark contrast to domestic reactions from within China, and our hosts speculate as to why that is. Given that hiring is only one aspect of gender equality, what does this story say about the current state of gender norms in China's tech industry and how easily things will change? Why is this significant for the future of China tech, and important for our listeners outside of China?
