Dr. Gang Lu is the founder and CEO of TechNode, one of the largest media hubs for the Chinese startup ecosystem. In its early years, TechNode was China's answer to TechCrunch. An industry fixture for over ten years, Dr. Lu is considered one of the most vital voices in Chinese tech.
Together, Ronen and Dr. Lu go deep on:
Southeast Asia's ecosystem is growing as fast, if not faster, than China's.
Why Shein is a global phenomenon except domestically.
Why AI might be the last bubble shared between China and the West.
This episode is particularly relevant to those finding an actionable footing between the tech ecosystems of China and Southeast Asia. Many interviews about Chinese tech today provide an outdated perspective. This one offers a challenging, forward-looking view.
