Explore the white-hat advantages and black-hat tactics used by Chinese Amazon sellers, from rapid product testing and supplier research to manufactured demand, AI imagery, and branding gaps. ► Watch The Podcasts On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Helium10?sub_confirmation=1 ► Instagram: instagram.com/serioussellerspodcast ► Free Amazon Seller Chrome Extension: https://h10.me/extension ► Sign Up For Helium 10: https://h10.me/signup  (Use SSP10 To Save 10% For Life) ► Learn How To Sell on Amazon: https://h10.me/ft What strategies are Chinese Amazon sellers using to compete, and what can sellers elsewhere learn from them? Recorded in Shenzhen, China, Bradley Sutton sits down with experienced Amazon seller and new Helium 10 team member Shawn Su to explore the advantages, tactics, and challenges shaping one of the world's most competitive e-commerce communities. Shawn shares his journey from two unsuccessful product launches to building two six-figure Amazon brands. He explains how he discovers overlooked opportunities using narrow price filters, minimum search-volume requirements, weak competitor images, and low title density. He also reveals why the ability to test small orders, respond to reviews, modify products, and launch improved versions quickly may be a greater advantage than lower manufacturing costs. The conversation also examines a controversial tactic involving manufactured keyword demand. Some sellers use external traffic to make previously unknown search terms appear popular before launching new FBA listings. Bradley explains why a sudden search-volume spike does not always represent organic demand—and why sellers should investigate where that traffic is coming from before entering the market. From reverse-sourcing products through 1688.com to accessing real-time information through WeChat seller groups, Shawn provides a rare look inside China's Amazon ecosystem. But speed and sourcing are not everything. Western sellers can still gain an edge through cultural understanding, memorable storytelling, customer relationships, and long-term brand building.

Trong quá trình hợp tác, 7 cá thể gấu trúc con đã được nhân giống thành công qua 5 lứa sinh. Theo Bắc Kinh, đây là kết quả tốt nhất đạt được trong khuôn khổ hợp tác quốc tế về nhân giống gấu trúc khổng lồ giữa Trung Quốc với khu vực Âu Mỹ.Trước đó, hôm 24/4, Hiệp hội Bảo tồn Động vật Hoang dã Trung Quốc đã ra thông báo trên tài khoản WeChat chính thức về việc sẽ đưa 2 cá thể gấu trúc này sang Mỹ để khởi động chương trình hợp tác bảo tồn kéo dài 10 năm.Gấu trúc là động vật quý hiếm và là biểu tượng văn hóa của Trung Quốc. “Ngoại giao gấu trúc” là hình thức ngoại giao mà trong đó Trung Quốc thúc đẩy quan hệ hữu nghị với các nước thông qua việc cho mượn gấu trúc.Năm 2023, việc một số cá thể gấu trúc cho Mỹ mượn quay trở về Trung Quốc từng dấy lên đồn đoán “ngoại giao gấu trúc” giữa hai nước có thể bị tạm dừng trong bối cảnh quan hệ căng thẳng. Tuy nhiên, Bắc Kinh đã tiếp tục cho Washington mượn thêm hai cặp gấu trúc vào năm 2024.Trong khuôn khổ chuyến thăm Mỹ vừa qua, Chủ tịch Trung Quốc Tập Cận Bình từng tuyên bố, cặp gấu trúc Bình Bình và Phúc Song sẽ đến Sở thú Atlanta trong vài ngày tới và ra mắt công chúng Mỹ.Bích Thuận/VOV- Bắc Kinh

Michelle Beyo is the founder and CEO of Finavator, a consultancy that helps banks, fintechs, and corporates step into the future of finance. Her new book, Mastering the Future of Finance, just published this week by Wiley, breaks the industry into nine elements across data, trust, and technology. We talk about why she wrote it, why she believes there should be a human data right, and how she kept the AI chapter current in a market that moves every month.What We CoveredMichelle's path from telco and online shopping to prepaid infrastructure at InCommPiloting one of the first WeChat top-up tests at 7-Eleven in 2017Why she concluded the future of finance was being built in AsiaSurviving crypto winter at a blockchain startupWinning Money20/20 RiseUp and starting Finavator in 2019How Finavator works with banks, fintechs, and corporatesThe masterclass that led to a Wiley book dealThe nine elements of the future of finance across data, trust, and technologyOpen banking, open finance, and open data explainedThe case for a human data rightKeeping the AI chapter relevant as agentic payments took offEnding each chapter with a subject matter expert interviewKey TakeawaysNumber portability is the template for open data. Your phone number was the first piece of data you could take with you when you switched providers. Michelle sees open banking, open finance, and eventually open data as the same right extended to your financial life, and she wants it codified as a human data right at the ISO level, including the right to delete consented data.Trust is the core layer. In Michelle's framework, open data, digital identity, and cybersecurity with AML compliance sit at the center. Get that trust layer right and fintech, BaaS, and embedded finance can accelerate on top of it.Agentic payments are moving faster than the internet ever did. Memory, auditability, liability, and returns are still open questions. Until credential tokenization matures, Michelle suggests giving AI agents prepaid credentials rather than your core credential.Frameworks outlast specifics. Michelle finished writing in May and agentic payments had already moved by publication. The nine elements are built to hold up even as individual examples date.About Michelle BeyoMichelle Beyo is the founder and CEO of Finavator, which she started in 2019 after winning Money20/20 RiseUp.

We cover the full spectrum of Beijing's foreign influence operations: research findings suggesting some Chinese AI models that are exploding in popularity generate less secure code when prompted in certain ways, as well as the traditional, overt state media, covert paid placements, disinformation and bot networks, and, increasingly, control over the information infrastructure itself..

In July 2026, a swarm of more than 1,000 OpenAI AI agents broke out of their testing sandbox and hacked Hugging Face — and the way they did it was far stranger, and far more mundane, than the headlines suggested. This video breaks down what actually happened: how the agents built a secret message board, invented a kind of religion, cheated on a cybersecurity exam called ExploitGym, and tried to cover their tracks — all to escape a punishment that didn't exist. Then we follow the money. Days after the details leaked, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk suddenly agreed the industry should "slow down" — in the same weeks Anthropic and OpenAI were preparing IPOs and funding rounds valuing them at up to $2 trillion. We look at Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" essay, Anthropic's "profitable before expenses" accounting, the market selloff that wiped billions off Nvidia, Micron and SK Hynix, the WeChat "WeWorm" attack, and why critics from Michael Burry to David Sacks to Donald Trump all called the slowdown self-serving. Is the AI safety panic real, a bid for regulatory capture, or both?

Gold: Manufacturing Contracts in China. Protect IP, Tooling & Timelines (Ep. 21 revisited)

What should a manufacturing contract with a Chinese supplier actually cover, and how can it help protect your product, intellectual property, tooling, quality, and supply chain? In this CMD Gold episode of China Manufacturing Decoded, Adrian and Renaud revisit a practical discussion about the agreements importers and product developers should consider when working with manufacturers in China. They explain why the real value of a good supplier agreement starts long before a dispute occurs: it forces both sides to put expectations in writing and agree on what happens if something goes wrong. Topics include: Why some importers still work with Chinese suppliers without proper contracts The practical benefits of putting supplier expectations in writing What an NNN agreement covers: non-disclosure, non-use, and non-circumvention Who should own the product IP, design files, and tooling What a Manufacturing Agreement should cover Controlling subcontracting and defining the approved manufacturing location ...and more The key takeaway is simple: a manufacturing contract is not only something to rely on when a supplier relationship breaks down. Its greatest value may be preventing ambiguity and disputes in the first place. Important note: This conversation originally aired in 2020 and is being revisited as part of our CMD Gold series. Chinese law has evolved since the original recording, so this episode provides practical manufacturing guidance rather than current legal advice. Sofeast are not lawyers. Any agreement you intend to rely on should be reviewed by appropriate legal counsel familiar with current Chinese law and your specific circumstances.   Show Sections 00:00 – CMD Gold introduction 01:29 – Why do buyers work with Chinese suppliers without contracts? 03:16 – Why overseas buyers can underestimate supplier risk 05:52 – What does a manufacturing contract actually do for you? 10:13 – Other agreements new-product buyers should consider 12:46 – Product development agreements and IP ownership 16:27 – What is an NNN agreement? 17:33 – What should a manufacturing agreement cover? 23:09 – When NNN and development agreements may not be necessary 24:45 – Subcontracting, factory access and inspection rights 25:47 – Manufacturing defects vs design defects 28:22 – Field failures, termination and how detailed the contract should be 31:30 – Why supplier agreements shouldn't live in WeChat and email 33:23 – CMD Gold 2026 takeaways   Related content How To Create A Valid Manufacturing Contract In China To Protect Your IP IP Protection in China When Developing a New Product Plastic Injection Mold Tooling Management & Risk Reduction Mold Tooling Ownership: The Shocking Term Chinese Suppliers Push For! 8 Ways to Prevent Chinese Suppliers from Subcontracting Agilian's IP Protection Transfer Manufacturing to a New Chinese Factory With Fewer Risks Get in touch with Sofeast Connect with us on LinkedIn Contact us via Sofeast's contact page Subscribe to our YouTube channel Prefer Facebook? Check us out on FB

TikTok werkt aan een functie waarme gebruikers binnen de app geld naar elkaar kunnen overmaken. De functie lijkt op een alternatief voor Tikkie. Persbureau Bloomberg ontdekte stukjes computercode die betalingen tussen gebruikers mogelijk moet maken in de Amerikaanse versie van de TikTok-app. Verder hoor je over het verzet van Epic Games tegen de nieuwe App Store-commissies van Apple in de Europese Unie. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Een woordvoerder van TikTok laat aan Bloomberg weten dat er inderdaad aan een betaalfunctie gewerkt wordt, maar dat er geen enkele markt is waarin de functie daadwerkelijk getest wordt. Daardoor is het onduidelijk wanneer gebruikers daadwerkelijk geld naar elkaar kunnen overmaken via TikTok. Net zoals veel andere Chinese apps, lijkt TikTok een 'everything app' te willen worden. Dat is een app waarmee gebruikers zo'n beetje hun hele leven kunnen ordenen. Zo kan men met de app WeChat in China niet alleen met elkaar chatten en filmpjes kijken, maar ook bankzaken doen. Ook Elon Musk wil van X een everything app maken. Daar wordt nu geëxperimenteerd met een eigen betalingssysteem genaamd X Money. Epic Games woedend over nieuwe commissiestructuur van Apple in de EU Epic Games is woedend over de nieuwe commissiestructuur van Apple in de Europese Unie. App-ontwikkelaars hoeven daarmee minder omzet van hun apps af te dragen aan Apple, maar alsnog beweert Epic Games dat Apple de Digital Markets Act (DMA) overtreedt. Epic Games noemt de nieuwe commissies 'troepcommissies'. Volgens Epic Games zou Apple helemaal geen commissies mogen heffen over in-app-aankopen die volledig buiten de App Store plaatsvinden. Vanaf 1 oktober zou daar een zogeheten 'core technology comission' van 5 procent over geheven worden. Epic Games wijst daarbij naar Artikel 5 van de DMA, waarin staat dat app-ontwikkelaars hun aanbiedingen buiten de App Store kosteloos moeten kunnen promoten. Toch heeft de Europese Commissie positief gereageerd op de nieuwe commissiestructuur van Apple en zijn er geen plannen om het bedrijf te beboeten. Apple kondigt veranderingen voor apps aan in de EU Epic Games noemt commissies van Apple 'troepcommissies' TikTok werkt aan betalingsfunctie Over de maker:Niels Kooloos is dagelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio te horen over het laatste technieuws in de Tech Update.

VOV1 - Một công ty của Trung Quốc đã chế tạo thành công máy bay không người lái (drone) sử dụng vật liệu com-pô-sít (composite) từ tre, nhờ đột phá trong công nghệ làm phẳng tre mà vẫn giữ nguyên lớp vỏ ngoài bền chắc. Long Bamboo – công ty có trụ sở tại tỉnh Phúc Kiến, miền Đông Nam Trung Quốc – là doanh nghiệp phát triển thiết bị bay này. Công nghệ mới giúp bảo toàn lớp vỏ ngoài cứng của tre, đồng thời cho phép tận dụng các phần vật liệu có mật độ khác nhau tùy theo đặc tính, qua đó nâng cao hiệu suất tổng thể của sản phẩm.Chia sẻ trên Đài Truyền hình Trung ương Trung Quốc (CCTV), ông Liên Kiện Xương, Chủ tịch Công ty TNHH Tập đoàn Công nghệ Long Bamboo, cho biết: “Công nghệ ép phẳng không tạo rãnh (bảo toàn lớp vỏ ngoài) và xẻ dọc thân tre là nền tảng cốt lõi của chúng tôi. Mọi ứng dụng vật liệu mới chúng tôi đang phát triển đều dựa trên 2 công nghệ này. Việc giữ lại lớp vỏ ngoài của tre giúp vật liệu đạt được hiệu suất vật lý tối ưu.”Trước đây, lớp vỏ ngoài của tre thường bị coi là phế phẩm và bị đốt thành than tre có giá trị thấp.Theo thông báo của công ty hồi tháng 2, vật liệu composite từ tre hiện chiếm hơn 25% tổng trọng lượng chiếc drone, trong khi phần vỏ thân máy bay được làm hoàn toàn từ vật liệu composite tre hiệu suất cao.Vật liệu từ tre cũng mang lợi thế lớn về chi phí, với giá thành chỉ bằng khoảng 1/4 so với sợi carbon dùng trong ngành hàng không. Sau khi drone ngừng hoạt động, vật liệu này có thể tự phân hủy, hoàn thành quy trình “đến từ thiên nhiên và trở về với thiên nhiên”.Nhóm nghiên cứu của ông Liên Kiện Xương đã dành 4 năm để xây dựng các mô hình dữ liệu, nâng cấp thiết bị và hoàn thiện vật liệu. Chiếc drone hoàn thiện có sải cánh hơn 2,5 mét nhưng trọng lượng chỉ khoảng 7 kg và đã thực hiện thành công nhiều chuyến bay thử nghiệm.Theo truyền thống, tre chủ yếu được sử dụng để làm các sản phẩm như đồ gia dụng và nội thất. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay loại vật liệu này đang dần được ứng dụng rộng rãi hơn trong công nghiệp ở Trung Quốc. Sợi tre đang được sử dụng trong nội thất ô tô, trong khi các vật liệu từ tre cũng đang được nghiên cứu để thay thế nhựa, sợi thủy tinh và sợi carbon trong một số lĩnh vực ứng dụng.Trung Quốc sở hữu nguồn tài nguyên tre lớn nhất thế giới với khoảng 7,56 triệu héc-ta rừng tre trên toàn quốc. Từ năm 2022, nước này đã phối hợp với Tổ chức Mây tre Quốc tế triển khai sáng kiến ​“Thay nhựa bằng tre” và xây dựng “Kế hoạch hành động toàn cầu về thay nhựa bằng tre”. Tiếp đó, Trung Quốc đã triển khai “Kế hoạch hành động 3 năm nhằm đẩy nhanh phát triển thay nhựa bằng tre”, thúc đẩy quá trình chuyển đổi tre từ các sản phẩm tiêu dùng truyền thống sang lĩnh vực vật liệu xanh.Bích Thuận/VOV- Bắc KinhMáy bay không người lái làm bằng vật liệu composite từ tre.

Chain Reactions is the live marketing talk show from Myosin — built by operators, for operators — breaking down the marketing happening all around you with people who actually run growth.Today, Arnav is joined by the two OGs of the show, Blake and Polina, for a 90-minute run-through of the stories the Silicon Valley echo chamber is losing its mind over, a live tool teardown, a debate, and a game that exposes how many ads you consume without realizing it.What we get into:- Kunal Shah taking the WhatsApp global CEO seat — CRED, UPI, and whether messaging apps actually become the payment layer in markets like India, China, and parts of Europe- SpaceX's IPO, the 5% float, and xAI/Grok acquiring Cursor for $60B in stock — a customer-and-talent grab more than an IDE play- Why local models became the whole conversation overnight: token economics, Anthropic's pricing shift, and what the Fable/Mythos restrictions mean for anyone building on frontier models- Google's $75M move into A24, AI in filmmaking, and the creative-tooling debate (Tron, Toy Story, and the "press a button to make AI disappear" crowd)- Markdown — Polina walks through the content automation system behind her UFC prediction tool: trusted-source scraping, virality scoring, Telegram alerts, and Fal.ai image generation with a human always in the loop- Hot Button — should performance marketing report to the CFO or the CMO? A "cordial" debate that turns into a real argument about attribution, LTV, and who owns the risk- Adaholic — guess the brand and category from the ad clip.

In the first installment of a four-part summer miniseries, hosts Kate Scott-Dawkins and Sam Weston pressure-test one of four plausible — and deliberately contrasting — futures for AI, advertising, and power by 2035. The scenario under the microscope: The Closed Loop, a world where a handful of vertically integrated platform ecosystems, not governments or open markets, come to govern everyday commercial life. The overarching story: convenience becomes a form of private governance, AI agents become the primary interface between brands and consumers, and marketing itself evolves into an exercise in shaping the instructions humans give their digital assistants.Key Topics DiscussedA control-vs-distribution framework for mapping four AI-driven futures, building on WPP's 2020 "Advertising in 2030" reportThe Closed Loop scenario: persistent AI assistants that manage household purchasing, negotiate on your behalf, and default to platform-preferred merchants and payment systemsWhy closed platforms must consistently outperform open-source alternatives for consumers to accept this trade-offThe regulatory gap between AI capability development and policymaking, referencing Dario Amodei's commentary and Mark Zuckerberg's Wall Street Journal op-ed on open AIHow brand purchase decisions increasingly get intermediated by agents — and why "human prompt injection" (shaping brand preference before the prompt is even written) becomes a core marketing disciplineMedia planning's evolving role in identifying when and how brand preference actually gets setGlobal parallels already in motion outside the US, including Tencent's WeChat super-app, plus Xiaomi and ByteDance's platform ambitionsThe national champion question: will governments cede control to platforms, or assert regulatory authority over themA year-by-year backcast of how this future could unfold, from the "convenience bargain" (2028–2030) through agentic commerce maturity (2032–2033) to full platform-architected life (2034–2035)CRM supremacy, membership psychology (with a Costco parallel), and brand-specific platform variants as retention toolsThree concrete moves for marketers in 2026: one strategic bet, one risk to map, and one signal to watchChapter Stamps00:00 - Introduction & Cold Open00:36 - Series Overview: Four Plausible Futures for 203504:32 - The Framework: Control vs. Distribution Axis06:53 - Introducing "The Closed Loop" Scenario09:35 - What's Missing Today: The Gap Between Now and 203511:09 - The Policy Race: Capability vs. Regulation15:26 - Open vs. Closed AI: The Zuckerberg Op-Ed Debate17:42 - The Existential Question: What Happens to Brands?19:32 - Agents as Intermediaries & Platform Differentiation21:38 - Human Prompt Injection & Brand Preference24:41 - Agencies' New Role: Negotiating Platform Environments26:49 - Beyond the US: Tencent, Xiaomi, ByteDance & Super Apps27:55 - National Champions & the Government-Platform Power Struggle29:19 - Backcasting the Timeline: How We Get There32:23 - 2028–2030: The Convenience Bargain34:30 - CRM Supremacy & the Membership Model36:53 - 2034–2035: Platforms as Life's Architecture40:21 - Three Moves for 2026: Bet, Risk, Signal44:50 - Next Week Preview: "The Agent Commons"

Nathan returns from two weeks in Beijing and Shanghai for the first of three Chatham House–rules episodes on what China feels like at ground level: getting online, navigating an almost cashless society through WeChat, Alipay, DiDi, Trip.com, and Meituan, and weighing burner-device security advice against the practical reality that international roaming made the Great Firewall mostly irrelevant. He also describes using Claude at home as a semi-autonomous communications monitor while testing DeepSeek, Kimi, and MiniMax as tourist guides in China. The episode contrasts China's striking digital convenience with pervasive observation, lower payment friction, and AI products that can be useful in everyday contexts yet still lose trust when the stakes feel medical or personal. It also surfaces Doubao's mass consumer adoption and companionship role, suggesting that the most socially important AI in China may not be the model most discussed in the West.

Halifax  Part 2 of 2   Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. The FAQ is: What is the best messaging app in Asia for Dr. Travelbest women?   Answer: For Dr. Travelbest, women traveling in Asia, the best answer is: use WhatsApp as your home base, but add the local app for the country you're visiting. Use WhatsApp as your main travel messaging app, but download the local app for the country you are visiting. In Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, that may be LINE. In South Korea, it is KakaoTalk. In China, it is WeChat. Set these up before you leave home, while you still have easy access to your phone number, email, passwords, and two-factor codes. Asia does not use one single messaging app everywhere. The best app depends on where you are going. Before your trip, create a small phone folder called Asia Travel Apps and put these inside: WhatsApp, LINE, KakaoTalk, WeChat, Google Translate, Google Maps or Apple Maps, and your airline app. For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge Halifax Part 2     See Book A for addressing this concern. I'm an expert at messaging apps. Just ask. Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series.   Today's itinerary is Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Part 2 of 2 This episode is a three-day itinerary for a first-time visitor to Halifax, especially a solo woman traveler from the USA who wants history, waterfront views, local food, public transportation, and a relaxed pace. Halifax is a city where the harbor shapes everything. You will see ferries, cruise ships, navy activity, kayaks, boardwalks, seafood restaurants, and historic sites. My advice is to balance the serious history with time outside, because Halifax is best experienced both on land and near the water. Day One: Start with the waterfront and maritime history. Begin your first day with a walk along the Halifax waterfront boardwalk. This is the best way to feel the city. You may hear music, see cruise ships, watch boats moving across the harbor, and find places to sit outside. In summer, the waterfront can feel festive, especially if there are events or buskers. Look for Theodore the Tugboat, one of the cheerful harbor icons. It is a fun stop, especially if you like seeing the lighter side of a working port city. Then visit the Maritime Museum. This is one of the best first-day stops because it helps you understand Halifax's identity as a port city. Pay special attention to the history of the Halifax Explosion. In 1917, two ships collided in the harbor, causing a devastating explosion. The blast was massive, and the next day brought a blizzard. It is a sobering story, but it explains a lot about the city's strength and memory. After the museum, have lunch near the waterfront. This is a good time to try fish and chips, scallops, clams, or another seafood dish. If you are on a budget, balance one restaurant meal with simple food from a market or grocery store later in the day.   https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g154976-d23939015-Historic_Halifax_by_Foot-Halifax_Halifax_Regional_Municipality_Nova_Scotia.html In the afternoon, take the ferry to Dartmouth. The ferry is inexpensive; one of my notes said it costs about $2.50. Keep your ticket and enjoy the short ride across the harbor. You do not need to make this complicated. Sometimes the ferry ride itself is the experience. It gives you harbor views, a rest for your feet, and a different look back at Halifax. In the evening, return to the waterfront. Halifax is pretty at night, and if the weather is good, outdoor eating can be delightful. Stay aware of your surroundings, especially near nightlife areas. A local warning I heard was that areas with many bars can get rowdy. As a solo traveler, I would enjoy the evening but avoid getting pulled into a crowded late-night drinking scene. Day Two: Gardens, Citadel Hill, churches, and city views. Start day two at the Halifax Public Gardens. The main gate near South Park Street is a lovely entrance point. The gardens are peaceful, colorful, and a good contrast to the harbor. Go in the morning if you can, when the pace is slower. From there, head toward Spring Garden Road, one of the city's lively areas. You can find shops, cafes, and transit connections. If you like libraries, visit the newer Halifax Central Library and go up to the rooftop area for views and a sense of local life. I noted spring gardening and the rooftop as part of the library experience, and it is a good stop for travelers who like free or low-cost places. Next, walk or take transit toward the Citadel. The Citadel is up the hill, so wear comfortable shoes. Plan about two hours if you want to understand the military and cultural history. The views from the area also help you understand Halifax's shape. After the Citadel, visit St. Paul's Anglican Church downtown. It is an important landmark and one of the oldest buildings in Halifax, dating back to 1749. It is close enough to combine with other downtown stops and gives you a sense of the city's early colonial history. If you enjoy art, consider the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, especially for Maud Lewis's paintings. Her work is colorful, personal, and deeply connected to Nova Scotia. This is a good afternoon choice if the weather turns rainy or if you need a quieter indoor stop. For dinner, try seafood again or sample poutine if you have not already. Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It may be unfamiliar to American visitors, but it is worth trying at least once in Canada. Day Three: Point Pleasant Park, universities, swimming, or a harbor adventure. On your third day, choose a pace that fits your energy.   My travel tip: combine one paid attraction each day with free or low-cost experiences like the Public Gardens, waterfront walks, the ferry, and Point Pleasant Park. Today's destination is My missteps: Leaving my cellphone behind. My mistake for this episode: Leaving my phone at the swimming pool in Toronto. I changed back into my clothes and left the phone on the bench. The phone is my lifeline when I travel. I was with a friend that day, so perhaps more distracted than normal. I called the pool, picked up the phone, and all was well. Don't leave your phone unattended when you travel. My travel tip on eSims: My Airalo discount code is:  MARY2856 for your savings of $3.00 or more. Install before you leave: Always download and install the eSIM while you are still at home on your secure, reliable Wi-Fi network. You don't want to activate it until the day before you arrive in the country you will use it, so have it downloaded already.   For most Dr. Travelbest women, the safest and simplest strategy is to keep WhatsApp for home, use the local app for local connections, and not wait until you land to download everything.

This week on Sinica, a rare treat: an in-person recording from Beijing with two dear friends who happen to be two of the very best in the business on technology and China — Samm Sacks and Paul Triolo, fresh off the exhibition floor of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. We dig into Xi Jinping's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive statement on AI to date, the launch of the World AI Cooperation Organization, Moonshot's release of Kimi K3, the Trump administration's reported push to shut Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. market, the coming age of agents, the untranslatable problem of ānquán, and what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue in September.8:51 – The view from the floor: heat, humidity, robot boxing grandmas, WeChat-gated free water, and the "AI+" vibe — why WAIC 2026 felt less like an AI conference than a sector-by-sector snapshot of China's entire economy being supercharged with AI, with attendance swelling to some 200,000 tickets16:32 – Why Xi showed up: what the leader's first in-person WAIC appearance and his most extensive AI statement to date signal, and why domestic drivers matter as much as geopolitics18:01 – Chapter and verse: which phrases from the speech will be put to work in the system — "secure and orderly development" and the governance of agents, and Xi's strikingly extensive language on AI safety after China was frozen out of the Paris process22:26 – The ānquán problem: one word meaning both "safety" and "security," the three buckets of AI risk, and how China's safety community has moved from bias and deepfakes toward CBRN and loss-of-control concerns — Black Mirror versus Star Trek28:14 – Shanghai's baby: how WAIC's ownership structure differs from the CAC-run World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Chen Jining's very visible host duties, and whether the center of gravity in AI policy is shifting to the Yangtze River Delta30:05 – WAICO: what the new World AI Cooperation Organization with its 29 founding members is actually for, Xi's concrete deliverables for the Global South — 5,000 AI training slots, regional cooperation centers, the MAZU early-warning system — and healthy skepticism about follow-through34:39 – Kimi K3: what's technically significant in Moonshot's big new model, why it's the fourth arguably frontier-class Chinese release in a single month, the two-way traffic in distillation accusations, and what it all says about the state of the frontier gap four years into export controls40:33 – Washington reacts: the reported menu of options for shutting Chinese open-weight models out of the U.S. — entity listings, a draft executive order, supply-chain security authorities — and why none of the tools actually fit the problem49:36 – Strange bedfellows: David Sacks versus the "closed lab duopoly," the FUD strategy, why some 80% of Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies reportedly run on Chinese open models, and how gating U.S. frontier models while Chinese weights flow freely supercharges the AI sovereignty argument worldwide54:55 – The model is infrastructure, the agent is the product: the ByteDance–ZTE agentic phone, the CAC's new initiative on agent trust and interoperability, and why agents fused into operating systems upend both super-app walled gardens and China's data protection regime1:02:27 – An exegesis of kěkòng: the many meanings of "controllable," the long history of ānquán kěkòng in Chinese tech policy, and the unanswered question of who — CAC, NDRC, or somebody new — actually owns AI safety in either system1:08:54 – The road to September: what to expect from the first U.S.-China AI dialogue, why Mythos tops the Chinese grievance list, the securitization feedback loop that starves trust-and-safety advocates of resources on both sides, and why recursive self-improvement makes this feel like a last, best chancePaying It ForwardPaul nominates Tony Peng, whose Substack RecodeChinaAI offers sharp, well-written analysis of the application side of China's AI industry — part of an impressive new generation of independent China tech writers. Samm gives a shout-out to Professor Zhu Yue of Tongji University Law School, published in Science and doing pioneering work at the intersection of disability law and AI law.RecommendationsSamm: The Land and Its People by David Sedaris — laugh-out-loud funny, especially the "Enough is Enough" chapter; Transcription by Ben Lerner, a perfect small novel about fathers, sons, memory, and technology as enabler or disabler of connection; and Didion and Babitz, on Joan Didion and Eve Babitz and the 1970s California rock scene.Paul: The Party's Interests Come First by Joseph Torigian — dense but beautifully written, and essential for understanding the current Chinese leadership.Kaiser: A fiction-only summer! Stoner by John Williams, a small life told most grandly in some of the most beautiful sentence-level writing anywhere; Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, an epistolary novel dense with distilled wisdom from a dying Iowa minister; and Wang Xiaobo's The Golden Age (黄金时代) in Yan Yan's excellent new translation — bawdy, hilarious, and super Beijing-y despite its Cultural Revolution setting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
