How are data technologies affecting Chinese society and politics—and how is Chinese tech affecting the rest of the world? This panel featuring Moira Weigel, Fei Liu, and Jing Tsu in conversation with Julian Gewirtz, co-editor of Logic Magazine’s China Issue.

The discussion will cover the long history of the Chinese government’s uses and misuses of information technology and the unlikely viral paths of memes across the Pacific.

Contents include:
Julian Gewirtz introduces social, cultural, and historical perspectives around the new global map that Chinese tech is drawing. Geopolitical tensions shouldn’t cause us to see China or Chinese tech as a monolith.

Jing Tsu speaks on China’s self-reliance mentality over the years after fallout with the Soviet Union in the 1960's left many technology projects unsupported.

Fei Liu explains the cross cultural phenomenal and mutation of Pepe specifically from its US origins to China
