TikTok and Semiconductors -- Contributions for the Asia Society

Hi all,

I’m switching things up a bit to share a couple of recent contributions I did for the Asia Society, spanning from the latest development in the TikTok legal saga to semiconductors and GPU smuggling in China. (I’ll be back in a few days with a fresh new post per our usual programming.)

Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center for China Analysis’ (CCA) webinar

China's Post-Plenum Tech Gambit: Chips, Shifts, and the Race to the Next Frontier, along with Paul Triolo (partner at Albright Stonebridge), Mary Hui (reporter at Bloomberg, used to write the wonderful a/symmetric newsletter), and Glenn Luk (who writes reading, writing & investing and is a better tweet-stormer than Marc Andreessen ever was), moderated by Lizzi Lee

“Tick Tock for TikTok”

A multi-part, written conversation on the latest legal development between TikTok and the US government on the constitutionality of the law that would lead to TikTok getting sold or banned, with contribution from me, Ivy Yang(of the sharp Calling the Shots 话语权时代 newsletter and founder of Wavelet Strategy), Professor Donald Clark (of George Washington University Law School), and Rui Ma (of the inimitable Tech Buzz China newsletter)

As a newsletter writer, it’s probably a bad idea for me to be linking my content to elsewhere, rather than keeping it all here. But it was a joy contributing along with many good friends and/or people I’ve admired from afar — positive sum thinking — for a stalwart of US-Asia relations, the Asia Society.
