My following column on Microsoft vs Kingsoft first appeared in Technode. Shan reflected on the Cultural Revolution and its legacy, US-China relations, and the Hong Kong protests. He was one of the first Chinese nationals to move to the US for school, ultimately studying with Janet Yellen and working as a professor at Wharton before moving back to Asia to work in private equity. Growing up in the Cultural Revolution, he was sent from Beijing to the Gobi desert where he spent six years planting potatoes. This week’s podcast with Weijian Shan, chairman and founder of PAG Group, was special. The money will go toward compensating ChinaEconTalk contributors who represent the next generation of China analysts. I’m opting for a tipping model to support this newsletter which you can sign up for on Substack or Patreon. In this newsletter, I translate and analyze articles from Chinese media about tech, business, and political economy. I’m Jordan Schneider, Beijing-based host of the ChinaEconTalk Podcast.
