This week on Sinica, I speak with Yi-Ling Liu, journalist, former China editor at Rest of World, and author of the new book The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet. Yi-Ling's book traces the arc of Chinese online life through five protagonists — a rapper, a gay rights entrepreneur, a feminist activist, a science fiction writer, and an internet censor — each navigating the creative and constrictive forces of the Chinese internet in their own way. The result is a deeply reported, novelistic account of what it felt like to live, create, and push back in one of the most surveilled and dynamic digital environments on earth. We discuss the book's central metaphor of "dancing in shackles," the early utopian glow of Chinese netizen culture, the parallel fates of hip hop and science fiction under the state's alternating embrace and constraint, and the eerie convergence between the Chinese internet and our own.0:06 — "Wall dancers" as a metaphor: what it captures that "dissident" or "netizen" doesn't0:09 — Why 网民 (wǎngmín) took root in China as a concept of digital citizenship0:13 — The early Chinese internet: more open than we remember, but not as free as the myth suggests0:15 — Ma Baoli: closeted cop to CEO of China's largest gay dating app, and the Gay Talese reporting strategy0:20 — Lan Yu, Beijing Story, and the film that became a coming-out moment for a generation of queer men0:22 — Pragmatism at the heart of the dance: how individuals and the state negotiated the internet together0:28 — Lu Pin and Feminist Voices: from "playing boundary ball" to sudden exile0:35 — Stanley Chen Qiufan and the state's attempt to co-opt science fiction for nationalist ends0:43 — The generational split in Chinese sci-fi: Liu Cixin's cosmic scale vs. the near-future unease of Chen Qiufan and Hao Jingfang0:46 — Hip hop's arc: from underground scenes in Chengdu and Beijing to The Rap of China and sudden constraint0:51 — Eric Liu, the Weibo censor: humanizing the firewall from the inside0:55 — Common prosperity, Wang Huning, and the moral panic behind the crackdown on "effeminate" culture0:59 — Techno-utopianism in retrospect: was the emancipatory internet always a fantasy?1:03 — The convergence of the Chinese and American internets: Weibo and Twitter, TikTok and Oracle1:07 — What it means to be free: how the book expanded Yi-Ling's sense of what freedoms people actually wantPaying it forward: Zeyi Yang, technology reporter at WIRED, and co-author (with Louise Matsakis) of the excellent tech x China newsletter Made in ChinaRecommendations:Yi-Ling: The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai; Machine Decision is Not Final, an anthology of essays on Chinese AI compiled by scholars affiliated with NYU Shanghai.Kaiser: The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict and Warnings from History by Odd Arne Westad (forthcoming); Essays from Pallavi Aiyar's Substack The Global Jigsaw, particularly "How Has China Succeeded in Making People Mind their Manners" and "Why I Would Rather Be Born Chinese than Indian Today."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Enjoying the creative process is key to long-term success. Lessons from failed collaborations can shape future projects. Combining different content themes can boost engagement. Strategic planning is essential for podcast growth.
Every day I get asked "Wtf are we supposed to do?!" Thankfully, our friend, Eric Liu, with Citizen University, has a helpful framework: the "Five P's." Let's talk through them.
"Power is like water. It flows all around us at all times. Sometimes it takes the liquid form of politics-in-action...Sometimes it takes the solid form of settled law: policy is power frozen. Sometimes it is like vapor in the air, invisibly shaping the climate and our behavior in just the way beliefs or ideology or emotions do..." So states Eric Liu, founder of Citizen University and Director of the Aspen Institute Program on Citizen and American Identity. This week on World Ocean Radio, founder Peter Neill expands upon water as metaphor for our changing political landscape and exceptional time of transition.

Have you ever looked at a competitor's polished video content and thought, 'We could never afford to produce something like that?' Here's the thing - that assumption is probably wrong. The rules of video marketing have completely changed. While big brands used to dominate with expensive production crews and six-figure budgets, artificial intelligence has leveled the playing field. But there's a problem: most business leaders don't realize just how accessible professional video creation has become, or they're overwhelmed by the technology. That's why I'm excited to have Eric Liu joining us today. Eric is a video marketing innovator at Wondershare Technology, where he's helping shape the future of AI-powered content creation. He's been instrumental in developing Filmora 14, a next-generation AI video editing tool that's transforming how businesses approach video marketing. His work has helped countless organizations move from basic video content to professional-grade productions without breaking the bank or requiring a degree in video editing. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Eric Liu about: ✨ AI Democratizes Video - Professional video creation is no longer limited to big budgets and technical expertise. ✨ Start Small, Scale Smart - Begin with basic AI features and gradually expand your video marketing capabilities. ✨ Focus on Story First - While AI handles technical aspects, successful video marketing still requires clear messaging and strategy.

Takeaways: The cost of college has been increasing at an exponential rate, making it a financial burden for many families. The value of a college degree is subjective and depends on individual circumstances and career goals. The current education system is flawed and not data-driven, leading to outdated curriculum and irrelevant skills. Parents should prepare their children for multiple scenarios and help them make informed decisions about their education. Alternative paths, such as vocational schools or entrepreneurship, can provide valuable skills and financial stability. The perception of college as a default option needs to be challenged, and the focus should be on what makes individuals happy and successful.

As the United States heads for what portends to be a raucous convention season, Dialogue host Marcia Franklin talks with Eric Liu, the founder of Citizen University in Seattle, about whether it's even possible in a seemingly fractured society to have a civil discussion about politics. Liu, also the executive director of the Citizenship and American Identity Program at the Aspen Institute, is trying to reclaim civic education from the doldrums and encourage Americans to act on their rights. His TED Talk on the subject has more than a million and a half views. Franklin and Liu discuss the “tectonic” demographic shift in the country and what it potentially means for governing, how Americans from diverse backgrounds are still bound together by a common creed, and what he describes as a “third Reconstruction Period” in the United States. Liu, an attorney, is the author of more than a half-dozen books, including “Gardens of Democracy,” “Guiding Lights,” “The True Patriot,” and “The Accidental Asian.” Originally aired: 07/15/2016

Mary Ann Faremouth is joined today by Eric Liu, a past District Governor of Rotary International, a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe. The organization believes in the shared responsibility of individuals to take action in addressing the world's most persistent issues by promoting peace, providing clean water, fighting disease, supporting education, and more. Eric Liu's journey with Rotary began at the age of 41, when he had established his career and was looking to give back to the community. Eric found Rotary's non-religious, nonpolitical approach to be the perfect platform for his philanthropic aspirations. Eric explains, "Because we're international, we're able to go into any country doing good work to help people. And because we're nonpolitical, many countries will let Rotary get in to do work." Rotary doesn't just make a difference in the world. It makes a difference in the lives of its members. With the divisions in the world today, Rotary brings people together in a way that transcends generation, class, and culture, and gives them the opportunity to become better leaders, communicators, and team players. Members connect around shared values, providing opportunities that go beyond their work in Rotary, including networking among employers and job-seekers. “The people I've met in this organization are top notch, wonderful, wonderful people,” Eric says. If you're interested in joining Rotary, visit their website at Rotary.org. “Every club has slightly different culture, and you can find one that matches you,” Eric says. The global directory of clubs on the website caters to many different schedules, lifestyles, and commitments. Additionally, for those who prefer a more tailored approach, you can email Rotary directly for a more customized match.

https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=153654 Populism is usually popular but rarely gets anything done, while neoconservatism is unpopular but gets much accomplished (such as the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq). Why? I put “populism” into Youtube and one of the suggested videos is on power. Eric Liu noted: “Power is the ability to have others do what you would have them do. This plays out in all arenas from family to the workplace to our relationships.” Populism is bad at this while neoconservatism is excellent. Why? Liu says the primary sources of political power are physical force, money, state action, social norms, ideas, and numbers. Populism has numbers but neoconservatism tends to dominate populism in every other ingredient of power. The neocons have instigated the use of American armed forces overseas, they are amply funded, they know to press the levers of state action, and they enjoy disproportionate influence in the world of ideas. I heard so many glowing things about democracy in my youth that I took it for granted that it was the best way of running things. Then I grew up and experienced a world that extolled democracy while operating on dictatorial lines of hierarchy (women in charge particularly liked to talk about collaboration while acting in covens that often ostracised me for failure to fall in line with their sacred programs – my criticism and challenges wearied them). In fact, it's hard to think of many examples of important things in the world around me that operate on democratic principles aside from periodic elections and 12-step programs. The most intense pleasure I have experienced has been in the course of intimate relations with beautiful young women. These were not democratic experiences open to anyone. They were exclusive and hierarchical — I was hers and she was mine and we did things together that we didn't do with other people. It usually went without saying that if either of us became more democratic in our approach to love, that meant the end of the delightful things we did together. My experience of formal education was not democratic. It was hierarchical. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/opinion/liberals-conservatives-democracy.html https://odysee.com/@LukeFordLive, https://rumble.com/lukeford, https://dlive.tv/lukefordlivestreams Superchat: https://entropystream.live/app/lukefordlive Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/lukeford/ Soundcloud MP3s: https://soundcloud.com/luke-ford-666431593 Code of Conduct: https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=125692 http://lukeford.net Email me: lukeisback@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter.com/lukeford, Best videos: https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=143746 Support the show | https://www.streamlabs.com/lukeford, https://patreon.com/lukeford, https://PayPal.Me/lukeisback Facebook: http://facebook.com/lukecford Book an online Alexander Technique lesson with Luke: https://alexander90210.com Feel free to clip my videos.

The final episode of the season takes a step back from individual democracy reforms to look at what it will take to create a healthy civic culture where power is shared across the community — rather than concentrated in the hands of a few stakeholders. Eric Liu believes this can happen and is working tirelessly to spread his idea of civic faith across the U.S.

In what ways is democracy under threat in the United States? And how do we strengthen our union? Those are two of the key questions posed in a new series of reports, editorials, podcasts and radio segments from WBEZ and the Sun-Times called “The Democracy Solutions Project,” which will run through the 2024 presidential election. The project is a partnership between Chicago Public Media and the University of Chicago's Center for Effective Government at the Harris School of Public Policy. Reset sits down Eric Liu of Citizen University to hear more about the role civic engagement can play in strengthening democracy.
Sketching out a business plan in 2012, Eric Liu and his Co-founders saw an opportunity to create a product that simplified the world of macro for investors. Vanda Research was born, a firm that seeks to connect the top-down with the bottom up and in the process, fill a gap by providing clients with shorter term tactical research ideas. A decade later, the evolution of Vanda leans heavily on the collection of and analysis of unique and often high frequency data sets. Making the point that “2020 was a year when alternative data sets went mainstream”, Eric reflects back on the Pandemic and the search for clues as to the speed of economic reopening, looking at various measures of supply chain disruption.With the notion that price moves result not just from how investors process new developments but also by the stance of positioning, a large component of the Vanda product is looking for instances in which investors are either over or under-exposed to assets. With respect to the latter, Eric cites palladium and platinum, both of which had substantially short positioning readings in late 2021. Combining data from dealerships, the team built a car inventory index that showed activity was bottoming about the same time, helping identify a trade in which palladium rallied by 80%.Much of our conversation also talks about the surge in retail activity in equity markets and how individual investor behavior can be aggregated for clues on market direction. Asserting that nearly all of the moves in the S&P 500 in 2022 can be explained by retail, Eric sees positioning a bit less stretched now than it was late last year. And while he sees some risk that the Fed needs to hike rates further, a glass half-full take is that the growth and profit environment that would motivate such moves would be a healthy one, giving further runway to the upside scenario.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Eric Liu.

Hate has unfortunately been a part of the United States since the founding of the country, enshrined at various times in policies and regulations, and showing up in the practices and everyday behavior of individuals. We have made progress in addressing some of those harms and removing some of the structural barriers people face, but we still have a ways to go as a society. And in the last few years, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, hateful incidents have been on the rise, putting minority groups at great risk. In this panel at the 2022 Aspen Ideas Festival, civic leaders and researchers who are leading the fight against hate explain its inner workings and tell us what they've learned about stopping hate from spreading. Eric Liu, the co-founder and CEO of Citizen University and the director of the Aspen Institute's Citizenship and American Identity Program, moderates the conversation between Manjusha Kulkarni, executive director of AAPI Equity Alliance, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, and Dana Coester, media professor at West Virginia University.
We may not understand it yet, but at this point we've all heard about the Metaverse. Some of us can't wait to embrace it; others are already bitterly opposed to it. But it's coming, whether we like it or not. In fact, the building blocks of Big Data and Augmented Reality (AR) are already here, we're just waiting for technology companies to help converge them together. That's where today's guest Eric Liu comes in. The CTO of the China-based company DIGITWIN Technologies (and its sister company Virspatial Technologies in Singapore), Eric is helping to usher in a new world where reality will coexist alongside its digital twin. Listen to today's episode to understand how these technologies are already being applied both in China and around the world, and to ponder the moral and ethical implications behind them.

If you're a regular listener of this program, you may have noticed that we didn't publish an episode last week. As I'm sure you are all aware, on the day that we usually record, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a ruling that overturned Roe vs Wade and effectively ended Americans' right to abortion in more than half of the country, including here in Oklahoma. If you want to learn more about the specifics of Oklahoma's abortion laws, including the four that were added this year, listen to episode 210, called “Why so many abortion bans?” which was published just a few weeks ago, on May 29th. It features an interview with Tamya Cox-Toure, who is the executive director of ACLU Oklahoma and co-chair of the Oklahoma Call for Reproductive Justice. While this Supreme Court ruling was expected because the decision was leaked a few months ago, the reality of it actually happening has left millions of people feeling heavier, angrier, and more despondent than I think we anticipated. The ruling is unequivocally harmful to every person who can become pregnant and to our society at large. American women, including my daughters, are now growing up in a world where they have more risk and fewer rights than did their mothers and grandmothers. This ruling will have a disproportionate impact on black and brown communities and people who are in poverty. Abortion is still legal in many states, but that doesn't mean it is accessible. Thousands of people who will need abortions are now unable to get one. In addition to its overt harm, this ruling is remarkable for a number of reasons - the contemputous tone taken by the author, Justice Samuel Alito, for example. Also the fact that several members of the court have been credibly accused of sexual harrassment and were appointed by a president who was also credibly accussed of sexual assault. Or that nearly all the justices, when asked during their Senate confirmation hearings if they would overturn Roe v Wade, stated that they would not, agreeing that Roe was settled precedent. And yet, here we are. And then there is the concurring opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas, which openly advocates for the overturning of the precedent set by three other Supreme Court cases - Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell - which provide protections for access to birth control, consensual sex, and same-sex marriage, respectively. Justice Thomas is regarded as one of (if not the) most conservative justices on the bench, and these type of comments should give all Americans reason for serious concern. This kind of approach, often called “orginialist” or "textualist,” is dangerous to the American way of life because it implies that every right and privilege that is conveyed to us by legal precedent but not specifically outlined in the Constitution is now at risk. There is a lot of prededecent that all of us take for granted because it has been settled for years or even decades. Abortion isn't just a partisan issue, it's a power issue. People of all political affiliations need and receive abortions every year. The issue is about who has the power over women. Who gets to make decisions about their health needs, about what happens to their bodies, about their freedom and independence and autonomy. The people opposed to abortion have been very open that this fight is not about science or reason, it is about values. Public policy is rooted in values, and sometimes values cut across partisan lines in ways we don't expect. But we don't usually talk about our values with one another, we usually just talk about policy. Why is that? To explain, I'm going to borrow (and extend) an analogy from my friend Eric Liu, founder and CEO of Citizen University and the author of several books, including “The Gardens of Democracy.” Consider our democracy to be a garden. Our values are the soil and policy are the flowers and fruit that grow from that soil. We...
