I'll do a little personal history, I guess, because I'm introducing myself to you and the audience as well.
So I moved to China in 2017.
And I was like,
You know, played video games, like built PCs at like middle school.
But my, I was a history major.
My profession wasn't in, in working in our understanding technology.
It was a policy analyst.
And the reason I reoriented my professional life around technology was because I hit the thing that you just mentioned, Azeem, this idea or this reality that living in China, you live in a similar but different technological ecosystem where the
apps that you interact with on your phone are just different than the ones that the rest of the world uses.
And that kind of trickles down into like literal, like UI changes of how WeChat works versus how Facebook works at the time means you relate to your friends in a different way.
And just kind of understanding like how fundamental these products are to our lives nowadays.
And, um,
It didn't sink into me until I lived in that separate ecosystem and everything that I kind of assumed was like baked in or took for granted actually surfaced to me as like actual product managers or decisions that policymakers made to create a sort of like different world.
way of being almost in mainland China versus the rest of the world.
So that's like step one.
Zooming way out from where did this decoupling come from and where is it going?
It is really messy, man, because there are not easy takeaways.
Um, and there are not clean lines that I think either country really wants to draw.
So from 1949 to 1973, there was basically no technological or commercial contact between the U S and.
China.
