Why China ?
In the past 70 years, China has lifted over 800 million people out of poverty, which is the greatest poverty reduction feat in history. In the past few decades, China had learned technics and models from the west while experimenting with it’s real social circumstances, accumulating basic social wealth. It transformed itself into a new tech superpower and start to reshaping the global tech landscape.
In the up coming new era, entrepreneurs simply learn and replicate the Silicon Valley model won’t be sustainable anymore for the global economy. Globalization of tech economy must expand it’s diversity and look East. They must understand, learn and engage with the Chinese tech ecosystem to be better development for their own world.
But it is not easy, China have a very different culture environment that the west barely knows. It has developed a very different internet universe, nothing like the one you were familiar with and can’t transcribe the light speed and scale of change that you see everyday. The western media coverage with disinformation make it ever harder for outsider to have a glance of the reality.
