Jahrzehntelang waren Megacitys wie Shanghai oder Peking der große Lebenstraum für Chinas Gen Z, doch das soll sich jetzt ändern. Die Kommunistische Partei Chinas und Präsident Xi Jinping möchten, dass mehr junge Leute aufs Land ziehen und es wiederbeleben. Dabei helfen auch die großen Tech- und Medienkonzerne wie Tencent, Douyin und Rednote. Darum geht's in dieser Folge des Weltspiegel Podcast. Was passiert, wenn Städter auf Dorfbewohner treffen? Wie zufrieden macht junge Chinesinnen und Chinesen das Leben auf dem Land? Und beleben die Zuzügler aus der Stadt am Ende vielleicht wirklich Chinas entlegene Dörfer? Unsere Korrespondentin Marie von Mallinckrodt war für die Weltspiegel Doku „Gen Z in China - Vorwärts aufs Land!" mittendrin. Sie hat das Dorfleben mitgemacht, gemeinsam mit jungen Bloggern und Influencern aus der Stadt. Was sie dabei erlebt hat, davon erzählt sie in dieser Folge des Weltspiegel Podcast.

Together, Jacob and Bijan unpack what the visit means for Canadian business and Canada-China relations, with Bijan's deep expertise in trade policy, market access, and bilateral economic engagement complementing Jacob's on-the-ground observations.This conversation comes at a critical moment: as the U.S. administration raises questions about Canada's engagement with China, this episode cuts through the noise to focus on the facts—what was actually agreed, what it means for jobs and GDP, and why China remains a vital market for Canadian exporters and businesses.Discussion Points·       The historical context and significance of Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China·       Whether the visit achieved a meaningful reset in Canada-China relations·       Specific outcomes and agreements from the trip—sector-by-sector wins for the Canadian economy·       CCBC's role during the visit and how members have reacted·       How Canadian businesses are reassessing their perceptions of China post-visit·       Next challenges CCBC will work to solve for Canadian business·       Clarifying misconceptions around a potential "deal" with China and U.S. political concerns·       The strategic importance of China to Canada's economy—jobs, GDP, and export opportunities

In China’s 2026 market, survival isn’t about buying the dip - it’s about finding the moat. In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we dissect why investors are shifting from momentum plays to structural dominance with Willie Keng, Founder of Dividend Titan (https://www.dividendtitan.com/). We explore four defining themes and why hyper-competitive sectors are being left behind. From China Tower’s near-97% telecom dominance to Tencent’s evolving identity from growth darling to cash-generating powerhouse, we unpack where durability lies. We also assess whether LVMH can maintain pricing power amid China’s luxury fatigue and the rise of local brands. Finally, in an easter egg moment, our guest shares his view on the rush for gold from the value investor perspective.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were already recording this episode when unexpected news broke: Sony is shuttering Texas-based first-party remake and port specialist studio Bluepoint. Equally shocking -- when taking into context the many first and second party failures, flubs, and misalignments in recent years -- is PlayStation Studios lead Hermen Hulst still somehow having a job. Bluepoint has an exceptional pedigree alongside untapped potential, but that's been squandered by the same machinery that allowed them to make a multiplayer game in the first place. Who is responsible for all of this first party buffonery? What's with this obsession with established teams all chasing the same exact thing? And how lucky is Sony that the going is so good for PlayStation 5 that none of this really seems to matter? Here's hoping the bloodletting begins and ends here, but we're skeptical. Other news this week includes rumors of PlayStation 6's delayed timeline, when we might expect to see Santa Monica Studios' unannounced title, McFarlane Toys picking up the Sony toy license, and more. Then, we wrap things up with listener inquiries. On the back of Silent Hill: Townfall's PS5 console exclusivity, why does Sony bother chasing these deals these days? Does Fairgame$ have an icecube's chance in hell of succeeding? Will God of War's remake be one compilation or three separate games? Is Dustin ready for his fatherly snot-sucking duties?

¿Estamos preparados para lo que viene? El programa de hoy  va desde los Pokémon clásicos al drama del hardware para jugar. Esta semana Vandal Radio viene cargado de noticias. Arrancamos con la bomba de la llegada de los Pokémon clásicos a Switch y Switch 2, pero no todo son alegrías: analizamos el cierre de Bluepoint por parte de Sony. ¿Qué está pasando en la industria? Nos metemos en el barro técnico con la "Rampocalypse": discos duros por las nubes, los rumores del retraso de PS6 y de un encarecimiento de Switch 2. Además, debatimos sobre Todd Howard y el eterno Creation Engine, la financiación de Tencent a Highguard y el exitazo de Mewgenics. En el menú de hoy:

A week after the Super Bowl and we finally got The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, took long enough. Also Warner Bros seems to finally relent and gives Paramount 7 days to try again. If the Simpsons ever ends, which is probably more likely than you think, it wont spend time on a grand finale. PlayStation held a state of play last week, and it was heavy on Kratos, plus if you are waiting on a steam deck, blame AI.

Highguard was reportedly bankrolled by Tencent, meaning it was never the plucky little indie game it was being portrayed as. And it also could explain why this game no one had ever heard of got the most coveted spot at The Game Awards. Yet the game still crashed and burned spectacularly, and it looks like the site might actually be down. And the devs blame YOU, the gamers, for rejecting it. And the "YouTube chuds."Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

China's approach to digital governance has gained global influence, often evoking Orwellian 'Big Brother' comparisons. Governing Digital China (Cambridge UP, 2025) challenges this perception, arguing that China's approach is radically different in practice. This book explores the logic of popular corporatism, highlighting the bottom-up influences of China's largest platform firms and its citizens. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and nationally representative surveys, the authors track governance of social media and commercial social credit ratings during both the Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping eras. Their findings reveal how Chinese tech companies such as Tencent, Sina, Baidu, and Alibaba, have become consultants and insiders to the state, thus forming a state-company partnership. Meanwhile, citizens voluntarily produce data, incentivizing platform firms to cater to their needs and motivating resistance by platforms. Authors Daniela Stockmann and Ting Luo unveil the intricate mechanisms linking the state, platform firms, and citizens in the digital governance of authoritarian states. Daniela Stockmann is Director of the Centre for Digital Governance and Professor of Digital Governance at the Hertie School. Ting Luo is an Associate Professor in Government and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Birmingham. Interviewer Peter Lorentzen is an associate professor of economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads the Master's program in International and Development Economics.

China's approach to digital governance has gained global influence, often evoking Orwellian 'Big Brother' comparisons. Governing Digital China (Cambridge UP, 2025) challenges this perception, arguing that China's approach is radically different in practice. This book explores the logic of popular corporatism, highlighting the bottom-up influences of China's largest platform firms and its citizens. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and nationally representative surveys, the authors track governance of social media and commercial social credit ratings during both the Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping eras. Their findings reveal how Chinese tech companies such as Tencent, Sina, Baidu, and Alibaba, have become consultants and insiders to the state, thus forming a state-company partnership. Meanwhile, citizens voluntarily produce data, incentivizing platform firms to cater to their needs and motivating resistance by platforms. Authors Daniela Stockmann and Ting Luo unveil the intricate mechanisms linking the state, platform firms, and citizens in the digital governance of authoritarian states. Daniela Stockmann is Director of the Centre for Digital Governance and Professor of Digital Governance at the Hertie School. Ting Luo is an Associate Professor in Government and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Birmingham.

After a fascinating long weekend, I'm back with the real story behind Naspers' legendary Tencent deal and a personal reminder of the honesty that defines the "real" South Africa. I also weigh in on the disturbing intolerance surfacing in our schools—and why we must fiercely protect our culture of multiculturalism.

A new book titled Governing Digital China offers crucial insights into China's governance ecosystem. Written by Daniela Stockmann, a professor at the Hertie School in Berlin and director of the Center for Digital Governance, and Ting Luo, an associate professor in artificial intelligence and government at the University of Birmingham, the book reveals a more complex reality than simple top-down control.The authors show how massive tech companies like Tencent and Alibaba have become essential partners to the Chinese state, blending corporate and government power. At the same time, citizens exercise bottom-up influence, shaping how both platforms and the state respond to their needs. The result is what the authors call "popular corporatism"—a form of digital authoritarianism that operates quite differently than you might expect.
