The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · China Decode: The World Now Views China More Favorably Than the U.S. (ft. Selina Xu) · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

So I think that's an example of how the government and the industry are basically negotiating with each other on what kinds of regulations will make sense to protect some of the government's priorities while allowing industry to continue to drive AI development forward.

I think this statistic took a lot of people by surprise.

There were a few other surveys by like Edelman and others that people started paying attention to.

But I think as negativity in the US towards AI grew to quite a feverish pitch this year, people are suddenly like, oh my God, why is China so much more positive?

And obviously, you know, the surveys are not fully representative of sentiment on the ground, which is often not monolithic.

But being in China a few times this past few months, I think the main thing, the main attitude difference that I sense between, you know, Chinese and Americans is that in China, people are very pragmatic.

They don't see AI as this, you know, in general, this machine god.

Talk of AGI or artificial general intelligence is pretty much absent from most convos, other than if you're talking to a very specific minority.

of westernized, you know, policy elites.

And for the average Chinese person, AI is either a tool where maybe they have to learn because they are mandated to by their bosses and their jobs.

It is like an entertainment thing similar to, you know,

and Red Note before, now they're like, hey, I get to play these like virtual script games with my AI boyfriend who is very hot and looks like an anime character.

And this is basically a continuation of all these like love and deep space automate games where you have romantic storylines, right?

It's just like a natural continuation of that.

And then for some people, it's like if you're elderly, you're like, oh, great.

AI allows me to like Photoshop or like ask for medical advice.

So it's like very pragmatic tool like ways.

And people don't imbue with it all these very doomsday, what people now call doom trolling in the U.S.

of like AI will make us extinct.

AI machine god's going to come.
