Today my guest is Mark Greeven, Professor of Innovation and Strategy at IMD. I’m going to begin by commenting on the amazing timing of my interview with Mark, just last week. In our conversation, his first-hand insight into the culture and strategies of Chinese business as they experienced the COVID-19 crisis, are absolutely relevant for us, as leaders, as we are now experiencing the same in the USA. In our conversation, Mark explains why China, the people and their organizations were able to react so quickly to a sudden and immediate crisis. Why they seemed so much more prepared with a huge population of 1.4 billion – even within the healthcare system, and how did they mobilize exponential technologies so quickly? Before joining IMD, Mark also held faculty positions in China and The Netherlands, and currently serves as a a research associate at China’s National Institute for Innovation Management, Center for China and Globalization, Center for Global R&D and Innovation, and the US-China Innovation Research Center at Duke Kunshan University. With a decade of experience in research, teaching and consulting in China, Mark has learned how to organize innovation in a turbulent world; and through collaboration with innovative Chinese companies and entrepreneurial multinationals, has explored novel ways of organizing, accelerating corporate innovation, and designing business ecosystems to thrive on uncertainty. Mark’s latest book, Pioneers, Hidden Champions, Change Makers and Underdogs: Lessons from China’s Innovators, was published in 2019; and in 2017, he was named on the “2017 Thinkers50 Radar list of 30 next generation business thinkers”, an annual ranking that the Financial Times deemed the “Oscars of Management Thinking”. Listen to this novel interview as Mark and I discuss business ecosystems and how we need to do things together, as a leader, individually, and as a company. Mark will share with us his predictions for the outcome and lasting impact of turbulent events, which don’t all happen to be bad. The consequences will reveal that resilience during these uncertain times will set apart the more successful leaders from the less successful leaders. Here are some of things that you will learn in this podcast episode: How did Chinese companies respond so quickly to the COVID-19 virus? What allows Chinese companies to be so agile and reactive to change? How can strategy be a form of fear? How can strategy be more like, ‘strategy on the spot’ to make things happen fast? Strategy for a changing world | Deliberate vs. Non-deliberate or emerging Why is this particular event not a big deal to Chinese leaders and what can we learn from them? What are some practical ways business leaders can create a more reactive execution capability? Why does Single Threaded Leadership blast through the ceiling of complexity? How can a small company who has grown into a larger organization still maintain an intrapreneurial spirit and mindset? Books Published: Pioneers, Hidden Champions, Change Makers and Underdogs: Lessons from China’s Innovators, by Mark J. Greeven, George S. Yip, and Wei Wei.

Elliott Zaagman is the co-host of the China Tech Investor podcast and works as a PR and leadership consultant for Chinese tech founders and executives. He is a frequent commentator on issues facing China and its tech industry, and his work has been published by The Lowy Institute, Foreign Policy, SupChina, and TechNode, as well as in Chinese on Huxiu.com.   “This entire thing (LeEco) that he (Jia Yueting) had built, he built it basically within a year to 14,000-people offices all over the world, all these different verticals of business and then it all collapsed.” – Elliott Zaagman   Worst investment ever Elliot tells the story of what he sees as the worst investment for probably many people in the rapid rise and fall of what was at the time China’s Netflix, Le.com LeEco (Leshi Internet Information & Technology Corp, (300104:CH; 300104.SZ). He had been working in China for many years when he was approached to work one of the group’s companies, LeEco, around the beginning of 2016 to consult for LeEco. The company had been streaming video since around 2012 and in were moving into making smart TVs. Elliot believed this was a rather savvy business venture – to combine the streaming video with smart TVs and create a kind of hardware and content ecosystem. They had some success and founder Jia Yueting had aspirations to become the Steve Jobs or Elon Musk of China, as he had also made forays into electric vehicle production, establishing Faraday Future, a California-based start-up tech company set up to develop electric vehicles in April 2014. Jia Yueting is described by Elliot as a futurist, very interested in the potential of technology. And China had said it wanted to have some global tech champions, so this was a chance for Jia Yueting and people like him to build this empire and raise a lot of money. So he used a very capable kind of PR and media team and just expanded at an exponential rate. He went into smartphones, wanting to be the next Apple Inc, virtual reality, sports contracts, music, cloud services. The company opened a 500-employee office in Silicon Valley, a 100-employee office in India, a few thousand employees in 2014 to 7,000 in 2015. And by the end of 2016, it had 14,000 employees. So the company was expanding in every direction, to the point that there was no way to hit its deadlines. Part of the corporate culture was that Jia Yueting had filled his C-suite with “Yes People”, so when they went to present themselves to the US market, they sent someone (a person Elliot had worked with) who could barely speak a word English, to run their US office in Silicon Valley. The ambassador of the company had also rarely been to the US, didn’t understand the US market and he was running their go to market. The entire company, not just in the US, had chaotic atmosphere. The beginning of the end was an enormous product launch to introduce themselves to the US market at the Innovation Hangar (now also permanently closed) in San Francisco. It was excessive and people failed to understand why the company was holding such a large event. Three weeks later, founder Jia Yueting sent out a company-wide message that said something like: “We expanded too quickly and we’re out of money. And now we need to fix it.”LeEco has debts in China of around US$442.3 million (3 billion yuan), and Jia Yueting is under investigation by regulators and has remained outside China since 2017. Some lessons You cannot grow quickly, in many areas business. Jia Yueting had built the entire empire within a year to all over the world, with different verticals of business and then it all collapsed. Look deep before involvement in China’s tech ecosystem and economy. Chinese banks tend to lend loosely to companies that are aligned with government or Communist Party (Party) initiatives. Venture capital firms are willing to invest in areas that the Party wants to promote. Appearances can be deceiving, especially for tech-naïve lenders in China. A lot of the people in charge of the money did not really understand technology, so they were fed excuses by people who wanted the money, such as “This is just how tech businesses operate.” Jia Yueting got a lot of funding through smoke and mirrors, making good video presentations and display products without a solid core to his business.   “Look under the hood a little bit when it comes to these companies, especially I think in China.” - Elliott Zaagman   Andrew’s takeaways China doesn’t have to be our enemy. There are many things that Chinese people admire about America and a lot of the transformation that happened in China came because the People’s Republic implemented some free market principles. It is sad to see US politicians gaining points at home by pitting Americans against China. Be careful of over-diversifying because you’ll lose focus. Don’t be seduced by greatly diverse businesses such as Apple or Microsoft. They have been growing for a long time and may expand into different areas, but they have a very strong core. They might do something like Amazon Web Services, for example, but they built up to that point slowly. When money is available freely and at low cost, you find malinvestment. Undisciplined investment. What’s happening in the world, in America, and also in China is that so much money has been poured into the industry that you cannot avoid the type of situation where you have faults such as lower asset utilization rates. The problem of “yes people”. One of the benefits of a developed company is that it has a board of directors to provide the kind of checks and balances system necessary to curb the visionary excesses of CEOs such as Jia Yueting.“Having ‘Yes Men’, either in management or at the board level, can turn out to be a real disaster.”- Andrew StotzThat is why we see great people surrounding some of the best businesses. Such people are serious professionals who are not afraid to stand up to the CEO and say “No! This is the way we have to go.” So getting such people is highly valuable. No. 1 goal for next the 12 months Elliot writes a lot about Chinese tech companies and companies such as Huawei, and is concerned about the decoupling that US and Chinese technology, ecosystems and expertise appear to be undergoing. He hopes in the next year to continue to add his voice to that conversation and offer clear analysis, allowing his readers and listeners to gain a clear picture of the broader situation, one that is honest and respectful and in service of the truth.

In episode 22 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about electric carmaker NIO, which went public on September 12 on the NYSE. This episode covers how NIO got started, its purported business model, and how it differs from its competition. Listeners will also hear from Elliott Zaagman, a writer covering Chinese tech as well as an organizational development consultant for Chinese tech firms. Rui and Ying-Ying start their story with Li Bin, or William Bin Li, who is NIO’s celebrity Founder, Chairman, and CEO. Li Bin, only 43 years old this year, is known as the “godfather of the transport sector” in China: not only did he have his first IPO in 2010 for a car-related internet company named BitAuto, but he has also invested in at least 32 companies in the transportation sector, including 5 unicorns. Indeed, Li Bin is widely recognized for being a master at both making and raising money. However, Li Bin and NIO’s path in the electric vehicle (EV) industry has not been without its challenges, particularly because of the domestic sector’s past experience with unreliable players such as Jia Yueting, the founder of LeEco and Faraday Future. In fact, one recent Chinese article cheekily called NIO and its fellow EVs “the cars that came out of PowerPoints” — a partial reference to the fact that NIO raised about $2.5B in four rounds before going public, but is still losing money rapidly, to the tune of half a billion dollars in the first half of this year. Listen to the newest episode of TechBuzz China and join our co-hosts in an exploration that seeks to answer the key question: is Li Bin going to be able to deliver on the hardware he promises? Just how comparable is NIO to Tesla? What about to Xpeng Motors, founded by celebrity entrepreneur He Xiaopeng, the other high-flying EV unicorn in China with an internet DNA? What is NIO’s actual business model, when it does not actually make its own cars, or even its own batteries (yes, you read that right)? Is it accurate to consider NIO a luxury brand, and if so, is that the right strategy in China? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We acknowledge a new report that found out that the cost of living in Beijing and Shanghai has become relatively cheaper in the last three years compared with other major cities around the globe. We analyze some new data that suggests that while Americans born today can expect to live for a few years longer than their Chinese counterparts, China's newborns will experience more “healthy” years. We note that Jia Yueting 贾跃亭, founder of LeEco, once a star Chinese tech company, has been barred indefinitely from traveling via train and air in China. We learn that China's railway builder ran into another setback to its overseas expansion aspirations after the new Malaysian government announced it will scrap a bullet-train project linking its capital to its southern neighbor Singapore. We hear the news that China's top securities regulator may punish six mutual funds for alleged insider trading by their managers. We discuss that Google has released the new app Files Go, which is customized for mainland Chinese users, in its latest small step back into the world's largest smartphone and online market. We discover that China said it would cut import tariffs by more than half on a wide range of consumer goods starting in July, aiming to boost domestic consumption and balance its foreign trade amid heightened tensions with the U.S. In addition, we talk with Fran Wang, senior economics reporter at Caixin Global, about how the new consumer tariff cuts fit into the bigger trade picture. We also chat with Doug Young, managing editor of Caixin Global, about the latest in the Chinese auto and dairy sectors. We'd love to hear your feedback on this product.

Welcome to the 43rd installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We pay attention to the return of Tiangong-1, China's first space station, which was launched in September 2011 and has been at the center of several milestones for China's space program. We delve into a recent report published by Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, which shows that Beijing's Peking and Tsinghua universities are letting their students down in terms of helping them learn and grow on campus. We learn the news that Wu Xiaohui 吴小晖, the former chairman of financial giant Anbang Insurance Group, admitted to a court that he had been involved in a fundraising scheme that took in more than 723 billion yuan from illicit insurance sales. We hear that China will lower value-added tax rates as part of a tax cut package, saving 400 billion yuan each year for businesses in targeted sectors. We note that Sunac, the Chinese property giant that poured some 17 billion yuan into debt-plagued tech giant LeEco a year ago, admitted that its investment was a “failure” and has written off the losses. We acknowledge some new rules that put China's $15 trillion asset-management industry under stricter scrutiny. We discuss the central government's decision to set up a court in Shanghai to specifically handle financial cases, in order to plug regulatory gaps. We explore China's approval of its first delivery drone license, which has been given to a subsidiary of logistics giant SF Express. In addition, we talk with Doug Young, managing editor of Caixin Global, about why this is an interesting time for Chinese IPOs and Geely's move to use a plant in Belgium to make its vehicles, marking the first time a Chinese car will be produced in Europe. We'd love to hear your feedback on this product. Please send any comments and suggestions to sinica@supchina.com.

Hoy os hablo sobre mis cacharreos con un Leeco que me tocó en un sorteo y que finalmente cambié por un Nexus 5x, muy por encima mi experiencia con ambos dispositivos. También mi primera toma de contacto con Mac OS X a través de un Mac mini que he adquirido, de esos chollos que no siempre se ven. El audio tiene un poco de ruido de viento, mis disculpas y gracias.

Hola chicos/as. Ya estamos aquí para hablar de las noticias que mas nos han gustado del mundo de la tecnología y también hablar de nuestras frikadas. Y....... ya tenemos ganador del concruso del Leeco. SI tienes curiosidad lo decimos en el podcast. Para mas información sobre nosotros puedes visitar www.frikismopuro.com

Ya ha llegado el momento de hacer el concurso donde podéis ganar el Leeco Le S3 comprado con el dinero del link de afiliados de Amazon. También os traemos las noticas de la semana que nos han parecido mas interesantes... eso si, con nuestras voces desagradables... no os podéis escapar de eso.

This week we talk about most the biggest tech fails in China, including LeEco, bike-rentals, and bitcoin exchanges. We also talked about the most expected IPOs for 2018.

"I've never seen two Chinese guys comparing (car) engines (like people do in Europe)," says Freeman Shen, founder of Chinese electric vehicle start-up WM Motor Technology Co., Ltd. "China doesn't have a long driving culture...the car is more a tool for people to get from point A to B." It's one reason his three-year-old company, with RMB10 billion (US$1.5 billion) in funding, is taking a different route than most of its rivals. Instead of simply producing a decent, mass market car, WM will offer its EV customers flexible ownership, essentially combining Tesla Motors and Uber in one company. It's an important selling point given that WM is targeting young Chinese consumers, who are famously quick to accept new things, but far less willing to purchase new cars. For Shen, the former chairman of Volvo China and a 20-year automobile industry veteran, the future of China's car industry will be shaped by three words: electrification, connectivity and sharing. As such, his company is creating a 100% electric car that is connected 24/7 and will let owners choose if they want to share their cars. "For example, a customer owns our car in Shanghai but he travels to Beijing a lot. With a Super ID (a membership service offered by WM), he can easily access another WM Motor vehicle while in Beijing and lease out his car in Shanghai," Shen told China Money Network at the company's headquarters in Shanghai. The "new business model", as the soft-spoken Shen calls it, is full of unforeseen challenges. Jia Yueting, the disgraced and currently exiled ex-chief of LeEco, wanted to build something similar with that company's smart car unit LeSEE and car hauling platform Yidao. That plan was cut short by corporate financial crisis that is still unfolding. And Tesla itself plans to launch a ride sharing system called "Tesla Network" as early as this years, allowing its car owners to share their vehicles, and creating immediate competition for WM. "The challenge is how to make this dream (become) real...we are in a race to see (which company) can get to the market (first)," said Shen. It is a race indeed. China, the world's largest car and EV market, already has three EV start-ups valued at US$1 billion, (NIO, WM Motor and BAIC BJEV, according to China Money Network's China Unicorn Ranking) with another one (Future Mobility Corporation) approaching unicorn valuation. The U.S., on the other hand, has none. Read more on five Chinese EV start-ups that could rival Tesla Competition between these well-funded Chinese EV start-ups is intense. NIO's ES8 model will hit the market in mid-December. Another Chinese EV start-up, CHJ Automotive (known as Chehejia in Chinese), completed a test production run two months ago at its new factory, which was built in only one year. Shen says WM Motor's high-tech customer-to-manufacturer (C2M) factory in Wenzhou will be completed at the end of this year and small volume production will commence during the first quarter of 2018. Only then will we know if his digital car dream can become reality. Read an interview Q&A below.

ON CHINA'S EV INDUSTRY: Q: How would you describe the current transition toward electric vehicles by China and the global automobile industry? A: As you know, China is already the largest car market in the world, and it also leads in electrification. The first reason China is going electric is because it relies on imports for about 60% of its oil, of which 80% is used by cars. From a national security respective, the Chinese government has to push very hard for electrification. Pollution is another reason. The electric vehicle revolution has been going on for about five years. However, at first not many people took it seriously. But I believe now is the right time. Customers are already well educated, and electric cars are a good solution for daily u...

We look at China's largest peer-to-peer lending platform — Hongling Capital — and how it plans to get out of the online lending business within three years, citing a poor track record of people repaying loans. We learn how Alibaba has found that internal theft is now the top cause of customer data leakage in China — the world's largest ecommerce market. We talk to Caixin senior editor Doug Young about two big stories surrounding HNA Group's investments, and to Caixin Global reporter Amy Ma about how one Chinese city is trying to deal with the problem of drones. In addition, we bring you four complete stories: How the tragic deaths of four kindergartners in buses during the recent heat wave in China have triggered a major outcry over the state of schools in rural China. How a new documentary released with the blessings of, if not indeed at the behest of, the state features corrupt officials confessing on camera to having taken bribes. How demand is booming for virtual currencies — and not just for Bitcoin, but for homegrown Chinese digital currencies. Why shares of Kweichow Moutai, China's best-known baijiu distiller, are soaring on a very bullish outlook. We'd love to hear your feedback on this product.

This is our News Roundup episode for the week and also our only episode, as we didn't have time for a Question of the Week episode this week. This was something of a quiet week with only a couple of major announcements, but we still found some stuff to cover. We talked about Microsoft's new Surface Pro, LeEco's US retrenchment, Google execs' comments about monetization Assistant and Home, and Apple News hiring its first Editor in Chief.

LeEco uMax85 Ecotv - User Comments We at the HT Guys are always striving to find TVs that can closely mimic the experience that a projector gives you. Shortly after CES we discussed the LeEco uMax85 Ecotv which, from a screen size perspective, is identical to a projector experience for all but those with a dedicated theater room. The uMax85 is a whopping 85 inches, 4K, supports wide color and HDR and only costs $5,500! No way you're getting a 4K HDR projector for that much! But is the umax85 the holy grail that eliminates the need for a projector? Today's show will be a little different. We take you on a journey from rollout (Feb 2017) to today and we let users from AVS forum discuss what they like and dislike about the TV. But before we start, here are the stats: Features:   4K Full Array Backlight & 448 Active Local Dimming Zones   The uMax85 features best-in-class 448 active local dimming zones with full array backlighting to ensure every inch of its 85" screen offers the highest possible realism, contrast and viewability at any time of day.   Fluid Motion™ 1920 The Fluid Motion™ 1920 helps reduce motion blur and judder, preserving a high degree of clarity even during rapid-fire action scenes. Dolby Vision™ and HDR10 The uMax85 features Dolby Vision™ with HDR10 (High Dynamic Range) which radically improves your viewing experience. It enables a wider, richer range of color, brighter whites, and deeper blacks for more natural, true-to-life colors. 3D with Active Shutter Glasses Dimensions 75 x 46 x 15.8 inches w/ Stand 149.8 lbs w/ Stand 75 x 42.8 x 2.4 inches w/o Stand 141.6 lbs w/o Stand 02-09-2017 After so much excitement for the uMax85, I feel like this thread (and all uMax85 discussion) has gone stagnant. With the caveat that I am not a trained eye by any means, here are my impressions: Unboxing is about as simple as can be, as long as you can get the TV up the stairs or in the elevator. Once you unbox it, you realize the TV is, as we all hoped, big! All of my friends are incredibly impressed with the size. The fit and finish is good and the leeco home screen is bright and pleasant. The 3d is active and works well, in my opinion. However, I would like to know what other glasses are compatible. The SmartTv features are relatively smooth, but as I've mentioned before, my tv will not hold an internet connection. Half an hour into watching anything on a TV-based app, the TV says there is an error and stops playback. I have to do a full reboot to get it back. As with other forum members, I have the same issues with ARC and local dimming. Also, when I first watched a movie, the motion smoothing feature was turned all the way up, which created artifacts and terrible SOE. After I turned it off, that all went away. The issues I am really displeased with are screen uniformity and halo effect. I constantly see vertical shadows in the screen, and now I'm fixated on it. When I turn the local dimming off and back on, the uniformity is *better* but the halo effect is terrible. I would really like to resolve this issue. I should also note the obvious. This screen is so big, that if you play standard resolution (or even HD) content, it looks grainy. However, UHD content looks spectacular. 02-11-2017 Okay, so I have had my UMax 85 for several weeks now and here is what I think. Overall, this is a great TV for the Price/Size ratio. LeEco really needs to come out with an update to fix the local dimming issue. Very annoying to have to fix it every time you turn on the set. The ARC issue is not that big of a deal to me as I just ran an optical cable to fix that problem. Like other users I set the motion setting to off to eliminate the soap opera effect. Also, I mostly watch sports and with it on there is some pixilation in fast moving objects. I have noticed like others that with the local dimming on there appears to be a halo effect that takes place. The uniformity on my set is good but not great. The screen door effect is also very obvious when you have a bright background and the camera pans the bright background. Very noticeable if you turn on a hockey game. This is a bummer for me because I notice it. My wife does not see it unless I point it out to her. In fact several people were over for the Super Bowl and nobody noticed any of my gripes here. Everyone did talk about how nice the TV looked and how big it was. I am a picky person when it comes to my displays. No way am I an expert, and maybe if someone gets this thing professionally calibrated some of my gripes will disappear. The bottom line is I wanted a large screen and on paper this thing has all the bells and whistles. In person the TV looks good/great most of the time. With a firmware update and some calibration it should look great all the time. If I were to go back and do it all over again I would do it. I think the value this TV offers is untouchable by other manufactures. I am happy with this purchase. I hope everyone who is still waiting on their sets can use our posts as a reference point when their's arrive. I too will mess with the settings and see if I can make it better. I will post my results. If anyone does get this set professionally calibrated please share. Thanks 02-13-2017 I don't mean to encourage or discourage anyone from buying this TV. I may get scolded for this post but this is my experience as a owner and this information may be useful to another owner if they face issues that cannot be easily fixed. I get it that things break and things are not as solidly built as they used to but I've never had an electronic item die so spectacularly on me before. This company may have the right intentions but lacks the implementation skills in a new market and generally seem overwhelmed. So my 2 cents is if you buy this TV and run into problems be ready to call/email/post in forums multiple times before you get help. 04-16-2017 I also love my uMax85! Not without flaws but definitely the best 85" television for the money. Hopefully LeEco continues to support their products in the U.S. and we still get a timely Android TV (Nougat) update with Dolby Vision streaming. I'll continue to ask every month on their forums when we'll be getting Dolby Vision streaming and post any news here. 05-03-2017 We are progressively rolling out this new OTA. Below are the release notes for the OTA 1.5 (56S_0420). Android TV™ Software Update Release Notes Devices: uMax85, Super4 X4 43Pro/55/65 Version: 5.8.056S Updates: [Exclusive DIRECTV® NOW app] Added new DIRECTV® NOW Android® TV app exclusively available only on LeEco smart TVs.

An internet video company wants to do TV while a cable provider wants to do wireless. If you're not chasing pigs in the air, you're not looking for synergy.

In other news, Samsung's rubbing its hands with the Galaxy S8+ and gnashing its teeth at an Israeli developer. BlackBerry looks up for the first time in a decade while the country around it worries about StingRays. But hey, that's not to stop us from reminiscing on something we didn't get to talk about: yams.

I årets andra avsnitt av Teslapodden kikar vi på Tesladödaren Faraday Future och andra framtida elbilskoncept från konsumentelektronikmässan CES. Dessutom tar vi reda på hur mycket elektrisk energi som faktiskt behövs för att göra alla Sveriges bilar elektriska, hur cheferna i bilindustrin tänker runt elbilar och vilka möjligheter vätgasbilar har att ta en prominent plats i bland framtidens fordon. Hur länge kan en Tesla stå utan laddning utan att batterierna går sönder? Anders får ett utbrott på de svenska bankerna och en febersvettig Fabian chattar med troll på Facebook.

The booming Chinese company has entered the U.S. market with hopes to be your go-to tech supplier from TVs to smartphones to commuter bikes and headphones. Their keystones are good quality at very low prices. Katie chats with Kenny Mathers, General Manger, Global Product Marketing, at the company’s U.S. headquarters in Silicon Valley.

On this episode of the DL Show, we're talking Pixels almost all show long. Why? Because our Pixel and Pixel XL review is in, you probably own them, and well, what else do Android nerds want to talk about at the moment?

We start things off talking about movies/shows we've been watching. then jump into the games we've been playing as of late. then we touch on the BIG Read Dead 2 trailer showcase as well as the Shiny new Nintendo Switch! Andrew goes into more of the news that happened that week.

Joshua Vergara, Joe Hindy and David Imel give great insight into their personal lives on the latest episode of the Android Authority Podcast. The check in includes a remote hello from Jonathan from Japan, and Josh's experience at the LeEco event in San Francisco. Topics start off with the Google Pixel, talking value and ingress protection, Josh opens up a live Q&A session for the LG V20, a phone that was promoted as the first to sell with Android 7.0 Nougat, but isn't actually out yet. LeEco had a big event, Josh sounds like he enjoyed it for its dramatic approach, and the affordable Le Pro 3. An electric car, big screen TV and a bicycle made it to the show as well. The chat rounds out with a bit of news and some nostalgia over phones of the past.    The Android Authority Podcast - discussing topics in Android every single week.

This week's News Roundup is a little longer than usual as we do a deeper than expected dive into three topics. First off, we discuss the US coming-out party for LeEco, a Chinese consumer technology company that's taking a content-centric approach. Secondly, we discuss reports that Apple is scaling back and refocusing its car initiative. And lastly, we talk about Google's apparent deal with CBS as part of its planned YouTube-based over-the-top TV service. Our Question of the Week this week is all about Q3 earnings and what to expect from seven of the top consumer technology companies: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Samsung, and Twitter. Jan talks through each of these companies in turn and talk about what he's watching out for, and what to expect in both the numbers and the discussion by executives on earnings calls. Our third segment is a brief roundup of the reviews that came out this week for the Google Pixel smartphone, whose launch we discussed a couple of weeks ago. The reviews were largely consistent, but we discuss some of the areas of disagreement as well as the interesting trends that are emerging from these and other recent reviews. We wrap up the episode with a Weekly Pick, which this week is a our first Twitter account recommendation, from Aaron. As usual, you’ll find some links to related content as well as other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news. Chinese scientists are working on a new type of aerospace vehicle that will allow passengers to travel in space without any pre-training and at much lower cost. China Central Television reports that scientists from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation have started work on the new vehicle integrating different kinds of engine technology. The vehicle will use different air-breathing engines, allowing it to operate as a normal plane in the atmosphere. It will take off and land at a normal airport, instead of at special launch pads. The viehcle will be reusable, and cost will be greatly reduced. Scientist from the corporation said they expect to master the key technology in around three to five years, and significantly improve the vehicle's capabilities during the application. The vehicle is expected to be used for suborbital flight and orbital insertion by 2030. The expeditions will be between dozens to hundreds of kilometers from the earth. Compared with spacecraft which use partially recovered carrier rockets, by integrating different engines, the new vehicle has many more advantages in maintenance and application. In early July, it was reported that several institutes of the corporation were coordinating efforts to study the new vehicle. An engineer at the corporation said that in around 10 years, passengers will not need special training to travel into space on the vehicle. This is Special English. Chinese scientists have defined a subset of a type of virus-specific cell that play a vital role in the control of viral replication in chronic viral infection. The discovery will possibly pave the way for new ways to treat chronic diseases including HIV/AIDS and cancer. According to research published online by Nature magazine, virus-specific cells, CD8 +T, appear to deplete during chronic viral infection. However, according to the research findings, the cells are able to control viral replication in both animal models and HIV infection. Researchers found a unique subset that offers higher anti-viral potential than previously known, thus, showing greater therapeutic potential. The research also identified an important regulator for the generation of this subset. The research was led by the Third Military Medical University in Chongqing Municipality, with a number of partner institutions. It began in early 2013 with government financial support. Current therapies can only contain viral replication, but cannot purge them completely in chronic diseases such as HIV. Chinese researchers will now use the findings to further research into immunotherapy in cancer and HIV. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. A genome project for newborns has been launched in Shanghai to aid the early identification and treatment of hereditary diseases. The project was jointly initiated by the Chinese Board of Genetic Counseling and the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in Shanghai. It will carry out genetic testing on 100,000 newborn babies over the coming five years. The findings will be recorded in a database and a genetic testing standard for hereditary diseases will be developed, which will improve the identification and treatment of such conditions. Experts say early identification can help doctors make better treatment strategies and improve the patients' quality of life. In another development, the Chinese Board of Genetic Counseling and Reproductive Hospital, which is affiliated with Shandong University, jointly launched China's embryo genome project. An embryo genome database will improve research and understanding of the development of embryos and improve diagnostic rates. There are some 7,000 kinds of inherited diseases and China sees around 900,000 babies born with birth defects every year. This is Special English. Health experts are calling for sex education to be included in China's school curriculum. They say the lack of formal tuition, allied with misunderstandings and outdated ideas, is putting young people at risk of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The topic has recently been at the center of a heated debate on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, after campaigners condemned a sex education textbook that claimed premarital sex has a "tremendously negative psychological and physical impact on girls". For thousands of years, sex could not be discussed openly in China. Even today, it is taboo in most of China's schools. According to Gou Ping, a professor of psychology at Chengdu University, sex education is a comprehensive definition and is a fully developed concept related to many other issues. The university is the higher learning institute in the country that offers sex education as a minor course. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Chinese firm FiberHome has developed a type of optical fiber that can transmit 400 terabytes of data per second, breaking the world record for the amount of data that can be transmitted using optic fibers. Such capacity can allow for simultaneous phone calls by almost 5 billion people and the transmission of 40,000 blue-ray high definition films in one second. The company is based in Wuhan, the capital of central China's Hubei Province. The transmission of 400 terabytes of data is accomplished on multi-core mono-mode optical fiber, which can be simply understood as breaking down the fiber into multiple paths to enhance transmission capacity. Such expansion in transmission capacity is a welcoming development amid growing demand for high speed transmission of data for VR, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and other emerging technology. This is Special English. Consumers in China will be entitled to a full refund on unsatisfactory products purchased online, even if the packages have been unsealed. A draft regulation that protects buyers' rights has been released by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and is based on China's consumer protection law. Public opinion is being sought until Sept 5. The draft says businesses must provide refunds to consumers within seven days of receiving returned products. The draft says the returned goods must be intact. The rule does not apply to several types of goods including those that can pose hazards to personal safety or health after being opened, or perishable goods that are near their expiry dates. Under China's consumer rights protection law, consumers can return goods for up to seven days, and get a refund for items that fail quality standards. In the case of goods purchased online or by telephone or television, consumers can make returns within seven days and get a refund without specifying a reason for most products. The only exceptions are four types of goods, including those that are perishable and prone to spoilage, as well as videodiscs that have been opened. This is the first draft regulation in China that specifies clearly that goods bought online can be returned for a refund, even if the packages have been opened. The regulation was made because there have been a number of disputes in recent years involving businesses refusing to offer refunds for goods that they sold online, using the excuse that the packages have been opened.

Archeologists have discovered more than 1,000 cliff paintings dating back more than 1,000 years in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Experts say the paintings are surprisingly well preserved, and feature sheep, camels, elks, tigers, wolves and people hunting. The images are believed to have been engraved by the ancient tribal people 1,500 years ago. The new findings are among many found across the Yinshan Mountains and will greatly inform research into ancient nomadic people. More than 10,000 ancient cliff paintings have been discovered in the area. In 2012, 18 cliff paintings dating back more than 4,000 years were discovered in the same area. Among them, a picture of seven human faces has been interpreted as the seven stars in the "Plough" constellation. This is Special English. China's largest Siberian tiger breeding center has announced that more than 50 tiger cubs have been born in the park so far this year. Located in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the Siberian Tiger Park is home to more than 1,000 Siberian tigers. Scientists handpick certain tigers, using a DNA database, to breed the next generation every year. Chief engineer Liu Dan said the park has been controlling the tigers' population to around 1,000 in order to maintain the ecological balance. The peak season for the breeding of Siberian tigers is in May and June. The cubs will be sent to the semi-wild environment after living with their mothers for around 100 days to learn how to hunt. Siberian tigers are among the world's most endangered species. They mostly live in northeast China and eastern Russia. The Heilongjiang Siberian Tiger Park was established in 1986 for better protection of the species. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Chinese internet company LeEco is in talks with online video-streaming site Netflix for possible cooperation in content. Details will be announced in September, as the Beijing-based firm steps up efforts to expand its presence in the United States. Analysts say that the deal, if goes through, could also serve as a steppingstone for California-based Netflix to crack its China market, which it has been eyeing for a long time. China Daily reports that LeEco was looking for content partners in the United States, where it will launch its smartphones and Televisions this year. The deal with Netflix will be announced in September. The news came shortly after LeEco spent 2 billion U.S. dollars acquiring Vizio, a major U.S. television manufacturer. It is expected to give LeEco around 20 million big-screen users. The firm also purchased land in California as the center for its overseas operations. LeEco started as an online video-streaming site, but managed a rapid rise by selling internet-enabled devices that are bundled with video content. Since January, the company has intensified efforts to go global, listing the United States, India and Russia as its key overseas markets. This is Special English. （全文见周六微信。）
