In the final episode of this season of Tech Tonic, we ask if the growing tensions between the US and China could split the world into two competing technological spheres. It has been dubbed 'the great decoupling'. Some in the US want to see Chinese companies cut off from American investment, while hawkish factions in China have been fighting for a more self-sufficient and nationalistic tech sector. But what would decoupling really look like? And is it even possible? Presented by James Kynge, this episode features interviews with Lillian Li (author of Chinese Characteristics newsletter), Paul Triolo (senior vice-president of Albright Stonebridge Group), Roger Robinson Jr (president and founder of RWR Advisory) and Kevin Rudd (former prime minister of Australia and president of the Asia Society)Presented by James Kynge.

In this episode of Moody's Talks – Emerging Markets Decoded, Lillian Li from the Credit Strategy & Research team and Lina Choi from the Corporates team join host Shirin Mohammadi to discuss how China's common prosperity framework and new antitrust regulations will shape the credit outlook for the sovereign and businesses. Related content on Moodys.com (some content only available to registered users or subscribers): Government Policy – China - 'Common prosperity' agenda will create transition risks, with longer-term benefits if well implemented Technology Services – China - Antitrust regulations limit market-share expansion and reduce earnings growth

Fresh out of the studio, Lillian Li, founder of the Chinese Characteristics newsletter joined us in a conversation to explain why cloud computing and software as a service (SAAS) are different in China as compared to the rest of the world. Lillian began her origin story in why she started the newsletter and approach the Chinese market. Then we dived deep into the weeds of the Chinese enterprise market and explore why the Chinese tech companies found it difficult to build enterprise software and drive adoption in global expansion specifically in the Asian markets. Last but not least, Lillian explores how the Chinese cloud computing sector and SAAS model will evolve in the future to adapt to the changing world out there.   "In China, when you talk to someone about SASS. They typically link it with a type of software architecture rather than the payment recurrent payment theme. So that's one thing. And cloud computing is more understood as cloud adoption rather than using a last platform." - Lillian Li Podcast Information: The show is hosted and produced by Bernard Leong (@bernardleong, Linkedin) and Carol Yin (@CarolYujiaYin, LinkedIn). Sound credits for the intro and end music: "Run it" by DJ Snake, Rick Ross and Rich Brian and the episode is edited by Geoffrey Thomas Craig.

Pinduoduo is the fastest company in history to reach both $5 billion in revenue and a $100 billion market cap. The Chinese ecommerce platform, famous for popularizing the team buying and consumer-to-manufacturer (C2M) model, was the talk of the town last summer, and it's had an even more fascinating intervening 12 months. I teamed up with Lillian Li of Chinese Characteristics to go deep, and give the bull and bear cases, including: A Brief History of Pinduoduo What Does Pinduoduo Do? Can PDD's Model Work in the West?

The Agenda

Today's episode of Building Bridges is my conversation with Lillian Li, a former venture capitalist in Europe who now writes the highly successful newsletter Chinese Characteristics.I'm not really sure how our paths initially crossed, but I discovered Lillian's work about technology in China in the course of last year—first on Twitter, and then through the insightful and enlightening essays on Chinese tech companies published on her acclaimed newsletter Chinese Characteristics.I had all the reasons to dive in. I think China is a critical area on the global map, one that none of us can afford to ignore. And I think that tech entrepreneurship is one of the things that make China matter even more. On the other hand, we Westerners have to be humble when it comes to China: it's a very large and diverse country, with a culture that's very different from ours, and where people speak a language that's extremely difficult for most of us to master.Needless to say I had to have Lillian on the podcast: as someone who grew up and worked in Europe, she can relate to the kinds of questions we're facing on this side of the world; but as a native of China who went back there last year, she has the unique ability to share the details and nuances that elude most of us who are seeking to understand how China is positioning in the Entrepreneurial Age.Here are the topics Lillian and I covered in our 45-min. conversation:Why she decided to go back to China, how life in China compares to that in the UK in the context of the pandemic, and her assessment of China's economic prospects.What makes tech entrepreneurship in China different from that in the US or Europe, and what European entrepreneurs can learn from their Chinese counterparts.Why Westerners should focus less on powerful Chinese individuals and more on systems and institutions if they really want to understand what's happening in China.What really happened in the runup to Ant Financial's interrupted IPO and her explanation of the setbacks encountered by Jack Ma following the fateful speech he made in October 2020.The sources she recommends for all who want to learn more, including Rui Ma's podcast Tech Buzz China and the book China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know by Arthur R. Kroeber.This podcast and the related article were originally published at Chinese Tech w/ Lillian Li. Founder Control w/ Bill Janeway.

When the internet's top China tech analyst Lillian Li posted a great Twitter take (linked below) on our Meituan episode, we knew we had to try to get her on the LP Show to tell us all more. What's really going on with these platforms on the ground in China, what is the government's role in all this, and why is Meituan's outlook “rosy, but maybe not quite as rosy as we painted on the episode”? Thanks to the magic of the internet, a few Twitter DMs later and voila — not only do we have this awesome episode with her, but a new friend and collaborator on hopefully much more Western - China tech crossover content to come!

This week on Sinica, Kaiser chats with ex-venture capitalist Lillian Li, who moved to China from the U.K. last year and has been looking at China’s tech ecosystem from a unique perspective — combining an investor’s eye, an academic background studying development, a grounding in Chinese language and culture, and a comparative instinct. Lillian shares her views on how technology platforms have become institutions, how the U.S. and China have responded to this development in starkly different ways, and the major features that distinguish the technology ecosystems of the West and China. 10:19: Waiting on the next era of technology25:06: The challenges faced by institutions34:48: The future of the tech-government relationship39:44: Two parallel worlds, China and the U.S. 47:10: Scale is no longer guaranteedRecommendations: Lillian: But What If We're Wrong?: Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past, by Chuck Klosterman.

Inside this episode:Michael Taylor and Lillian Li of the Credit Strategy & Research team discuss the rising credit strains on many emerging market countries that are part of the Belt & Road Initiative and the direction of the plan post-pandemic. Plus, analyst Nishad Majmudar talks about our analysis of ESG-related credit considerations in emerging market rating actions across sectors.Related content:Moody's Emerging Markets Hub Bringing clarity to ever-shifting credit dynamics across emerging economies.​​​Post-pandemic credit stress points to leaner, greener future for Belt and Road The coronavirus crisis and global economic downturn have exacerbated underlying credit risks that have built up in recent years across many countries that participate in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.ESG risks are prevalent in emerging markets, especially in the public sector Environmental, social and governance risks are often higher in emerging markets than in developed markets and debt issuers' capacity to address these risks is often weaker.

Lillian Li not only hails from the same city as Stephen, but they actually grew up within blocks from each other in a city of over 10 million people. Despite this, they have traversed very different lives — and have somehow ended up in Shanghai at the same time. This was a personal episode for Stephen as Lillian is a personal representation of how much potential people from his city have changed, and can do so even more moving forward. Much of the episode is dedicated to Zheng Zhou, Henan, and how both Lillian and Stephen vary not just amongst each other — but also are so vastly different from everyone in their native city.

In today's episode, Zahir interviews Lillian Li, the author of the critically acclaimed novel “Number One Chinese Restaurant.” Lillian discusses her relationship to the food she grew up eating, what she learned working at a Chinese restaurant and how she's trying to challenge the way we think about and tell immigrant stories in America.

This week, hear from Lillian Li, author of the critically-acclaimed debut novel, Number One Chinese Restaurant. Centered around a multi-generational cast of characters in a Chinese restaurant in America, the novel weaves plots about family, love, and loss. Lillian tells Cathy about why it's exciting to be publishing a book about a topic that's such a fertile ground for narrative but hasn't been explored much yet - and why it's always important to see a Chinese waiter as human.
