    89: Just how much tech is in China's health code?

    As the coronavirus swept through China, communities, local governments, and business have been trying to figure out how to best follow social isolation rules. This being China, of course, tech majors and telcos jumped at the chance to serve the country by leveraging their vast data pools. But how much tech is actually behind the country's health code systems? Should we be more worried about how China is using data.   Links Become a member of TechNode SquaredOur newslettersTechNode’s coverage of the coronavirusGuest David Cohen, @MartynvanBurenHosts John Artman, @knowsnothing, TechNodeMatthew Brennan, @mbrennanchina, ChinaChannelEditor Peter IsachenkoPodcast information iTunesSpotifyRSS feedMusic: “Theme from Penguins on Parade” by Lee Rosevere, Music for Podcasts 3

    86: China's social credit system: Everything you know is wrong with Kendra Schaefer

    China's social credit system (SCS) gets a lot of attention outside of China yet it's still very misunderstood. Many scholars and China watchers have shed light on the topic, but none have done it so concisely and accessibly as Kendra Schaefer and her team at Trivium China. She joins us this week to explain how the SCS is a broad framework for better regulation and enforcement and how it applies to companies, individuals, and government agencies. Key questions What is the purpose of the SCS? How far along is its development?Is the SCS only for individuals?How does the SCS apply to companies?How are China's cities gamifying SCS?Links 77: Peer-to-peer lending in China—Tech-driven shadow banking with Andrew PolkThe apps using social credit in ChinaExecutive Summary: UNDERSTANDING CHINA’S SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMChina's Social Credit System: An Evolving Practice of ControlKeeping track of social creditEUROPEAN CHAMBER REPORT ON CHINA’S CORPORATE SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM A WAKE-UP CALL FOR EUROPEAN BUSINESS IN CHINABecome a member of TechNode SquaredGuest Kendra Shaefer, @triviumchinaHosts John Artman, @knowsnothing, TechNodeMatthew Brennan, @mbrennanchina, ChinaChannelEditor Peter IsachenkoPodcast information iTunesSpotifyRSS feedMusic: “Theme from Penguins on Parade” by Lee Rosevere, Music for Podcasts 3

    85: Private traffic in China — Taking back the power from platforms

    After an extended hiatus, John and Matt are back! This week, they look at the increasingly effective trend of private traffic. Powered by WeChat and its mini programs, marketers and brands are increasingly creating and driving organic traffic to their shops. Like owned traffic in the West, this is a direct response to the rising costs of reaching fans and followers. Matt delivered a presentation on the topic during the ChinaChat 2019 conference and they take a deep dive into the phenomenon this week. Key questions What is private traffic?Why are brands resorting to this method?How does private traffic work?How do WeChat and Tencent view private traffic?What are traditional e-commerce platforms like Taobao doing to combat private traffic?Links TechCrunch Shenzhen Nov 11-12Presentations from ChinaChat 2019China Tech Talk 83: Podcasting and why the open web is dead in China with Rio ZhanChina Tech Talk 10: [Interview] Influencers in China and the future of brands with Elijah WhaleyChina Tech Talk 37: Weibo’s KOL woes with Elijah WhaleyBecome a member of TechNode SquaredHosts John Artman, @knowsnothing, TechNodeMatthew Brennan, @mbrennanchina, ChinaChannelEditor Peter IsachenkoPodcast information iTunesSpotifyRSS feedMusic: “Theme from Penguins on Parade” by Lee Rosevere, Music for Podcasts 3

    84: Facebook's Libra and China's Central Bank with Zennon Kapron

    Just weeks after Facebook announced their Libra cryptocurrency project, the People's Bank of China has become quite vocal about their on-going project. Most recently, the PBOC announced that China's digital currency is "nearly ready." Following on from our previous conversation about Libra and QQ Coin, this week we're joined by Zennon Kapron, director of Kapronasia, to look at what Libra means in a global context as well as China's plans to launch its own digital currency. Key questions What are the biggest implementation and adoption challenges for Libra? Why don't governments like cryptocurrency? How does a digital currency affect the RMB's status? What are the downsides of a digital fiat currency?

    83: Podcasting and why the open web is dead in China with Rio Zhan

    At the end of 2018, Connie Chan of Andreesen Horowitz, wrote about how podcasts in China monetize. However, what she calls podcasts aren't really what we call podcasts: they're more like paid-for educational audio content. Podcasting, like what we do at China Tech Talk, is actually still very immature in China. But that doesn't mean there aren't content creators following the "traditional" podcasting model. To talk about this, we're joined this week by Rio Zhan, early stage VC and host of the Crazy Capital podcast. We share notes on podcasting and talk about how China's content models have evolved away from the open web. Key questions Why is the China market different for audio content? Why is the open web almost non-existent in China? What role does culture play in creating acceptance of paying for content? How might Facebook's Libra enable monetization for Western podcasts?

    82: Tech conferences in China

    In the tech and startup ecosystem, there's always another conference to attend. The landscape isn't all that clear, however, with some conferences getting more public hype and others keeping it low-key. After organizing and attending many of them, John and Matt sit down this week to go over what's out available, what makes certain conferences different, and which are some of the best to attend and why. Key questions What kinds of conferences are there? What should you consider before going to a conference in China? How do conferences monetize? How much work goes into a successful conference?
