The first episode of the Digital X Dynamic 0 series, where guests and I explore different digital aspects of our experiences during the heavily restricted 2022 Shanghai city-wide lockdown, imposed officially from April until June as part of the Chinese government's national "dynamic zero-COVID" policy.

Selina and I reminisce about life under arguably the world’s strictest lockdown: how the highly advanced online shopping and delivery systems became key to survival; the highs and lows of ‘团购‘ (tuán gòu - bulk buying); who exactly are ’跑腿‘ (pǎo tuǐ - errand runners) and how they became our saving grace; and the unique e-commerce landscape of China.
