You’ve heard of Qwen, DeepSeek, Manus and Unitree. Curious what it all looks like up close? 👀🇨🇳 Join me & @techbuzzchina in Shanghai this July for WAIC — China’s largest AI conference — and a 5-day deep-dive into the country’s exploding AI ecosystem. We’ll visit companies,…

Just walked by the famous Xiangming High School in Shanghai that $200mm Meta AI hire Ruoming Pang went to

Good morning Shanghai! Staying across the gaojia (elevated expressway) from my first apartment in this city!

My husband and I both grew up in the U.S., but whenever our parents hung out with other Chinese families, we were always known as “the kid with the great Chinese.” Now at 3 years old, our firstborn is already getting that exact same compliment from random strangers at the…
A robot to make 煎饼馃子 Jianbing Guozi aka Chinese Crepe with Crispy Fritter / Crispy Egg Wrap

On my way to 96 degrees Fahrenheit Shanghai! This United flight is eeeemmmmpty. I’ve got the whole row to myself. Is it because it’s a Wednesday? Or traveling to China is still not that popular? Last trip of mine was before kiddo #2 in Fall 2023
Don’t wanna freak anyone out but 5 (out of 8) of our Indian attendees were denied a business visa to China. Never had that happen before (Indians make up a substantial portion of our investor community.) Might be the agency, might not
Yesterday I attended the @AlphaSchoolATX info session in San Francisco. The event was well attended. I only joined for the second half due to a scheduling conflict, but there were at least 60 people in the room. What struck me most was the makeup of the audience. I have been to a…

Thanks @FortuneMagazine for having me as part of the Brainstorm AI Singapore 2025 to talk about US-China AI competition! In esteemed company with @pstAsiatech @RevaGoujon and @hlntnr!

Another reason to record family stories sooner rather than later: My friend's mom was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and declined rapidly. Now, it's too late to capture her memories, and many stories of my friend's childhood are lost. We often don't realize how much of…
Just wanted to share something I’ve been doing that I really, really encourage you to try too. A while ago, I bought one of those “Grandparent Memory Books” — you can just search for that phrase on Amazon, or try “grandparent storybook” or “memoir prompt book.” It’s basically a…
Jensen Huang dominates Chinese tech headlines again as he spends his 3rd visit there this year visiting Chinese tech companies & announcing that (4th best AI chip from $NVDA) the H20 is allowed to be sold to China again. Besides Xiaomi, he also met with Minimax (@Hailuo_AI)

I’m all for assisted reproductive tech & services but this Chinese couple in Arcadia who ran a surrogacy agency and used it to have 21 children is WTF

Anyone else going to the @AlphaSchoolATX info session in San Francisco next week on Tuesday evening? I'll be there (albeit a little late), but would love to say hi!!
The biggest drama in China right now is all about defending a female billionaire* (!), and honestly it is one heck of a "palace intrigue" soap opera. Beverage billionaire Zong Qinghou, who used to be the richest man in China back in 2010, 2012, and 2013, passed away last year,…
