I chatted this week with Rasheed Griffith of the China in the Caribbean Podcast. I highly recommend you check out his channel!

We discuss:

  • The possible future of US-China tech competition under the incoming Biden Administration
  • The nature of China's Twitter influence campaigns and what we can learn about making viral memes from Russian disinformation operators. See here for my deep dive
  • Why open-source software should be the basis for a new US industrial policy and why China is looking to push that same strategy
  • What we can learn from good Chinese tv shows
  • Why we should all be listening to Chinese rap
