Has China already won the internet? [Ad-free]
🕑 Added 2025-04-09 07:00:06 +0000 UTCToday we’re talking about a panic that’s been simmering for a while but has, in the past couple of years, become a full-blown panic. And that’s the technological Cold War that the US is waging with China. (Okay, and now also the tariff war, but that’s with pretty much everyone.) Are the Chinese really so radically different from us, or — at least when we’re on the internet — are we the same? Tianyu Fang joins us to compare Chinese and American internet culture, and who suffers from more online brain rot.
Our guest Tianyu Fang is a Technology and Democracy Fellow at New America, an editor at Reboot, and formerly co-founded Chaoyang Trap. You can follow him on Twitter @tianyuf, and all of his latest endeavors at https://www.tianyufang.net/.
