The Chinese game studio Game Science has a hit on its hands!

Script: https://tcmpodcast.me/episode-20-bian-que-the-legendary-chinese-medicine-doctor/ As a rule, in the Traditional Chinese Medicine, doctor always treats the whole person, soul and body. It is, of utmost importance harmonization of internal balances of a body's energy and personality traits, person's eating habits, and what experiences gets during daily life. In old China it is believed that medical ethics are directly related to supernatural capabilities such as clairvoyance. TCM doctor who obtained supernatural capabilities, will definitely lose abilities in case if his moral and ethics decline or got compromised. In ancient China, supernatural capabilities were common to virtually all Chinese medical doctors, as great medical scientists, and were all documented in medical texts. What Chinese medicine has inherited are only those prescriptions or experiences from research. Ancient Chinese medicine was very advanced, and the extent of its progress was beyond present medical science. Just as Modern Medicine traces its foundations to Greek and Roman doctors such as Hippocrates and Galen, Traditional Chinese Medicine also has its significant early doctors. Bian Que is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in the history and development of Chinese Medicine and the earliest known Chinese physician. Bian Que lived in about the same period as Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period (around 552–479 BC)... Info: www.tcmpodcast.me
This season of the podcast has focused a lot on demystifying different aspects of Chinese Medicine. From acupressure to qi gong, we've spoken with experts to dig into the details of how these practices can help us move toward better health. In this conversation, we're exploring some of the most common questions from patients in the clinic in an asynchronous q+a session. These questions cover a broad range from the concrete, tactical side to the more theoretical side to help gain a deeper understanding for how the practice of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine works.

Chinese students have always been a source of fascination for universities and countries around the world. What motivates these students and how best to attract them? Are their numbers increasing or dwindling? This last question is important because Chinese students are the largest group of globally mobile students, and the ebb and flow of their numbers can have a positive or negative impact on universities in countries like the U.S., Canada, and the U.K that often rely on Chinese students to make up a large part of their international student population. In today's episode, we look beyond the numbers and instead try and understand today's Chinese students who are “ambitious and anxious.” Today's guest is Dr. Yingyi Ma, a Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in sociology and Director of the Asian/Asian American studies program at Syracuse University in New York. A scholar of education and migration focusing on the U.S. and China, Dr. Ma has published three books, numerous articles, and is a frequent contributor to global media. Her most recent book, Ambitious and Anxious: How Chinese Students Struggle and Succeed in American Higher Education, also helps us understand the broader social and cultural context of China that has helped shape today's Chinese students. Episode Themes: Why Chinese students can be characterized as being ambitious and anxious Prevailing stereotypes about recent Chinese students, and key ways in which Chinese students are a diverse group as opposed to being a homogeneous group Dr. Ma's personal experience of being a Chinese student in the U.S., how today's students are different from her generation, and how her experiences have inspired an interest in studying education and migration How the pandemic has affected Chinese students What Chinese students are seeking when they study abroad, the concept of cultural capital, and what U.S. institutions can do to better support their Chinese students Being an Asian American herself and a scholar of Asian American Studies, Dr. Ma reflects on the geopolitical situation and the current sentiment amongst Chinese students and families about studying abroad in the West The rise of China as an educational destination in its own right, and one that attracts international students Episode Resources: Dr. Ma's book: Ambitious and Anxious: How Chinese Students Struggle and Succeed in American Higher Education My book: America Calling: A Foreign Student in a Country of Possibility Sign up for America Calling: my take on the intersection of education, culture and migration Connect with me: LinkedIn, Twitter

Topics Discussed and Key Points:● Problems that Axis aims to solve● How Axis helps to develop resorts● How is China preparing for the 2022 Winter Olympics● How Axis is preparing for the 2022 Winter Olympics● Snowsports culture and the hospitality industry in China today● What Chinese consumers have taught Justin and the Axis team● Building ski resorts in China versus other countries● The development of four-seasons resorts in China● The future of winter sports in China● What the West can learn from China's snowsports industry Episode Summary:Today on The Negotiation, we speak with Justin Downes, President of Axis Leisure Management, a firm comprised of hospitality, leisure and business experts specializing in winter sports, hotels, resorts, restaurants, bars, retail, golf courses, tourism authorities, entertainment companies and various other establishments related to the services and hospitality industries in China.Axis was founded to address the fact that, at the time, “there [was] absolutely no expertise in the China market for building international-level ski resort destinations.” The management firm was thus established to “bring a global, high-quality standard experience across the board into the winter sports market in China.”The company prides itself not only on its ability to facilitate business management but also on the capability of its team of experts to take someone's vision out of their head and onto paper.Listen in as Justin shares how China is preparing for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, which he says is dependent on the evolution of Chinese industry, the actual preparation and production going into the Olympic Games, and how the governing body intends to navigate COVID-19 before and during the actual Games.The lead-up to the 2022 Winter Olympics bodes well not only for the snowsports industry in China but for the country's sports world in general. Both the public and the government have contributed to drastic growth in the health and wellness industry in recent times, and the countdown to the Olympics has only accelerated that interest and growth.Finally, Justin explains the ins and outs of developing ski resorts in China, including considerations around establishing and managing four-seasons resorts. Key Quotes:“Finding a piece of land in a remote location, in China, is quite easy. It's really about, ‘Who's going to come there?' and ‘How are they going to get there?' In some cases, the Chinese government builds fantastic infrastructure such as a rail with nothing at the end of that point, or they build a fantastic destination but no way to get there. We try to link these two components into a more organic growth solution.” “China performed a fantastic job in 2008 with the Summer Games. It's not as if they've not done this type of thing before. [...] From an execution standpoint—if you take COVID out of the equation—I think China will deliver a flawless athletic experience.” “There's been a lot of interest and pressure, both from the public-up and the government-down, to create an environment where people are healthier and happier. [...] General health and wellness in China is off-the-charts as far as opportunity and growth.”

On Episode 13, I discussed the philosophy of Death, Dying, and Grief. My guest this week is fellow Philosophes' member Thomas Dixon(who also did the Philosophy of Friendship episode). This conversation was inspired by the The Conversation article entitled, "What Chinese philosophers can teach us about dealing with our own grief" by Alexus McLeod (Associate Professor of Philosophy and Asian/Asian American Studies, University of Connecticut) Article Link: https://theconversation.com/what-chinese-philosophers-can-teach-us-about-dealing-with-our-own-grief-85959?fbclid=IwAR0-kLfNjCGg0-JzgoBMjETXTyCFd8vyHf9kbDG0--lwMUgBdZmiiSjinAI Website: www.thephilosophes.com Instagram and Twitter: philosophes2018
Our guest this episode is Adam Schwarz, founder and CEO of Asia Group Advisors, one of the most astute Asia observers in the business. I wanted to ask him what he’s thinking about Asia trade since the election of Trump and the changing role of the US globally. In most every discussion of Asia trade since the election of Trump China takes center stage. There’s good reason for that, but it’s important to also maintain a broader perspective. What does Trump mean for the rest of the Asia region, and how do other countries these days see and react to US policies emanating from Washington. At the end of the day, what are the implications for the region as a whole of China waxing and US waning? By politicizing trade, Trump gives license to his declaration of America First. Bilateral, so he believes, makes America sound stronger; back in control. But in practice, it’s not that easy. And doesn’t always make sense. These are early days this trade melodrama. We’re at the close of the first act. Perhaps. On the one side you have an American President prepared to put into practice the policies born of campaign promises tailored to a Republican base: Get tough on China! Save American jobs! It got him elected, but it’s bad economics and could have disastrous consequences. On the side we have an emerging China, determined to exert more influence when it comes to global economic affairs. The supporting cast—and the mainstream media does have a tendency to forget they exist—is comprised of Asia’s other countries who may find themselves vassal states of a rising Superpower if some semblance of reason is restored to US trade policy. This story will have its twists and turns, harrowing moments of trial and triumph, moments of suspense and shocking revelations. We’ve seen one already. In early May, Trump made a move to ban sales of U.S. products to Chinese telecommunications company ZTE. A few days later he reversed himself and said that an about-face was part of a wider move to ease the threat of $150 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump’s reasoning…and I quote: “Too many Chinese jobs would be lost.” What? Chinese jobs? Did we hear this right? It begs the question: Has Trump suddenly grown empathetic to global repercussions of a trade war where any job lost, anywhere is a bad thing? Or, is he laying the ground work for a run at the Chinese Presidency, figuring that if he unseats Xi Jinping, he can control the outcome and make every country great again. Stay tuned. The plot thickens. Return to your seats. And buckle your seatbelts.
This week's episode is a special one, as it's one of the few episodes where I get to have Dave on the show. Better yet, we are sitting in the same room in Hong Kong, just a couple of days after the Global Sources Summit where we both had a blast. Hopefully videos of the talks will be released soon for those who were not able to attend the event. We have many takeaways from our time in Hong Kong but one of the most eye-opening is just how much Chinese sellers are invading the Amazon market. They've grown comfortable using Amazon FBA and have become sophisticated in their marketing techniques. Adding to this is the fact that more and more of these sellers are using downright black-hat techniques to try to win more sales. This topic is just one of the 5 key takeaways Dave and I will talk about in this episode. Here are other conversation points: What Chinese sellers are doing to get market share and what you can do to protect your sales Amazon's cross-border program and how American sellers can benefit from it Black-hat tactics employed by many Chinese sellers PPC optimization Increasing pollution crackdowns by the Chinese government and how it can affect you Increasing Chinese labor costs With Chinese sellers getting on the Amazon train and recent factory crackdowns, we might be facing a challenging time ahead. You might be tempted to attempt black-hat techniques like other sellers are doing to stay on top, but keep in mind that the dire consequences make it hardly worth doing. We highly encourage you to stay on Amazon's good side. Resources mentioned: Global Sources ams.amazon.com Stamped.io AsiaInspection We hope you enjoy Episode 93 of the EcomCrew Podcast.

Law 15 Crush Your Enemy Totally: Perhaps the most controversial Law of all – Crush Your Enemy Totally! As ever, we are you guides to when a Law like this can be applied in a world beyond the battlefield. What does it mean to crush an enemy in the modern world? When does it become necessary to wipe out an enemy, and can you pull it off with a clear conscience? And what do we even mean by 'enemy'? Historical examples are joined by tales of when Jon's enemy came back to haunt him and Dre took revenge in the playground... Before we take time to indict the USA for hypocrisy and consider the difference between criminal trials, justice, and actually moving forward peacefully. This one's bursting with hot topics and controversy! FULL NOTES: http://voicesinthedark.world/2016/09/12/crush-your-enemy…power-episode-15/ This Episode includes: When to use Law 15 today when you're not a military leader What Chinese history has to teach us about the fundamentals of Power (via lots of blood and intrigue!) The importance of crushing your enemy's spirit Doing something with aplomb can excuse a lot more than you'd think When to bring in an authority figure and when you need to win the battle yourself Don't confuse enemies who can be used productively with enemies whose animosity means there is no option but to destroy them The dangers of holding out unrealistic hopes of reconciliation What's more important to you: achieving your goals or your self-image? Lessons from professional wrestling on beating your competition... but at what cost to creativity and competition? Lessons, too, from Nintendo, Apple and Steve Jobs The dangers of negotiating Did the Treaty of Versailles go too far, or not far enough? The serious dangers of humiliating your enemy (or anyone else) The reality of power today: the great powers don't play by the rules they want to enforce on everyone else The end of the Second World War – were the Nazis crushed... or not? Winston Churchill on how to move forwards when conflict is over Mentioned in the Episode: Conan tells us what is best in life Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series on the Mongols, Wrath of the Khans The classic and continuing Mortal Kombat games Amazon’s Marco Polo series Plenty of Game of Thrones references this week! The WCW vs. WWF Monday Night War The augmented reality madness that is Pokemon Go The movie 47 Ronin Daniele Bolelli on Moses as terrorist The history of the Jews in Egypt Jon's friend Jan Martin Lemnitzer on surprisingly mundane, non-moralistic origins of international criminal law Join us as we continue our 48 Laws of Power review, exploring Robert Greene’s provocative and compelling book, in which he lays bare the history, practice, psychology, and philosophies of power that ultimately shape all human relations. Often seen as a handbook for the ‘modern Machiavelli’, we take a closer look, beyond the hyperbole, and discuss how understanding and implementing these Laws can actually enrich your life personally, professionally and spiritually. Jon and Dre aim to get to the heart of each of the Laws, grapple with their sometimes disturbingly amoral nature, and discuss what the Laws mean in everyday life (often revealing their own experiences – good and bad – when they’ve either observed or transgressed them).
