🇨🇳 China Episodes

The first IndieChina Film Festival, originally scheduled to be held in New York this November, was abruptly canceled two days before its opening. Organizer Zhu Rikun received warnings from across the ocean: not only his father's trembling instructions over the phone, but also withdrawal requests from dozens of participating directors in China who were forced to send them. Some were threatened with career ruin, others had their families harassed, and fear spread along the internet cables from Beijing to New York. Zhu Rikun is an important promoter in the Chinese independent film scene, having founded Phenomenon Studio and the Li Xianting Film Fund, building platforms for independent directors to connect, and organizing multiple Beijing Independent Film Festivals. He witnessed the era when Chinese independent cinema grew wildly in the cracks, and also personally experienced the devastating raids by authorities on private film archives after 2014. To escape this suffocating control, he moved to New York, but never imagined that ten years later, the long arm of censorship could still precisely stifle a small screening event across the ocean. To protect the creators in China, Zhu Rikun painfully canceled the festival, but he insisted on going to the empty cinema every day to take a photo as a silent protest. Why would an independent film festival on the fringes of New York provoke such a strong reaction from the Chinese authorities? When "running" out of China no longer means safety, what dilemmas do overseas cultural diaspora communities face? In a time when Chinese independent cinema is almost withering away, what is the meaning of persisting in documentation and screening? In this episode, Zhu Rikun will share with us the absurd reality behind this canceled film festival, and his tenacious watch over the future of Chinese independent cinema.

Hello everyone, I'm Aizhe.Listeners who follow us should have already noticed that since April this year, we launched a brand new video podcast series called "Noise Reduction Zone". In each episode, I will chat with guests about a topic worth delving into. The first episode was about China in the 80s/90s through the eyes of Italian photographer Lao An, who, from a foreigner's perspective, captured life and scenes during the early days of reform and opening up. The latest guest is Professor Song Nianshen from Tsinghua University's Department of History, who chatted with me about the China-North Korea border, frontier ethnic groups, especially the story of the Korean ethnic group, providing us with a richer perspective on how we view our own identity.The "Noise Reduction Zone" video podcast will be updated independently on video platforms. We welcome everyone to follow Gushi FM!To sign up for the Shanghai open mic event on December 6th, scan below

Towards the end of each year, everyone wants to take stock of their finances: Can gold still be bought? Which stock is good to buy? How to invest the money on hand? After the release of Crazy Capital Circle Episode 120 about personal asset allocation, many friends messaged us hoping to discuss more specific directions. In this episode, we approach from the perspective of risk management, exploring how to find balance in the impossible triangle of return, risk, and liquidity. Why couldn't the management of Xibei and Arc'teryx, who recently faced troubles, see the potential risks beforehand? Why did Alibaba enjoy an almost double share price bonus because of DeepSeek? How should the "barbell strategy" for personal investment be understood? Is gold a high-risk or low-risk asset? Why are low-risk and stable-return assets so scarce? What's the deal with the recently popular Hong Kong savings insurance? Who is it suitable for?

Story FM ❜ Episode 868 Friends in Shanghai, after a year, we're back in Shanghai for an offline event! This Saturday, December 6th, we will be holding a Story Open Mic at the Shanghai Yihai Theater. The theme of this open mic is "How we plan for retirement in the AI era": I know that even though everyone wants to "lie flat" and not go to work, they are still resigned to working like beasts of burden, precisely because they are worried about future retirement issues. For this Story Open Mic, we have invited several pioneers at the forefront of eldercare technology to show us a glimpse of the future of retirement. Let's see how we can prepare for the future. Welcome to scan the QR code below to reserve your seat. Reservations are free and on a first-come, first-served basis. We look forward to seeing you there on Saturday! Editor's Note by Ai Zhe: Have you ever experienced that indescribable "sense of suspension"? Living in a city for decades, yet never truly feeling like a local; striving with all your might to keep pace with those around you, only to realize, looking back, that there has always been an insurmountable chasm between your starting points. Some have hidden these feelings for decades. Like a seedling without support, barely taking root amidst the sporadic warmth of life, while simultaneously struggling with all its might to break free from the shackles of family and class. Today's storyteller, Xiao Shuang, speaks authentic Beijing dialect. In the city of Beijing, he has always been in a tug-of-war between wandering, struggling, and striving for upward growth. /Staff/ Storyteller | Xiao Shuang Host | @StoryFM Ai Zhe Producer | Lu Dan Sound Design | Tu Dou Operations | Ming Ming Intern | Yu Keyi Tell your story with your voice.

A fire that broke out on the afternoon of November 26 at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong, touched the hearts of many. This fire, which erupted in a densely populated high-rise community, burned for two full days, only being extinguished on the evening of the 28th. As of December 2, the catastrophe claimed 156 lives, including one firefighter who died in the line of duty, with 79 injured and over 30 missing.When the fire was extinguished, the smoke on the public opinion battlefield had just begun to rise. We witnessed an absurd "bamboo scaffolding controversy": mainland official media and the Hong Kong government quickly echoed each other, attempting to transform a regulatory man-made disaster into a false proposition of "technological backwardness." We also saw how, after the promulgation of the National Security Law, the Hong Kong political sphere's obsession with "maintaining stability" far surpassed disaster relief: from the Liaison Office of the National Security Commission in Hong Kong issuing a Cultural Revolution-esque statement to the police taking away students who called for an independent investigation.But above this high-pressure wreckage, we also saw the untamed soul of Hong Kong. Citizens spontaneously developed "report safety" apps, provided overnight material support, and queued to lay flowers, with that long-lost self-organizing capacity of civil society, similar to 2019, re-emerging. Why is Beijing so afraid of this "love for fellow citizens" stemming from human nature? When "mourning" becomes "soft resistance," and "accountability" becomes "black violence," how should Hongkongers protect each other in the cracks of authoritarianism?In this episode of Un понятно Live, we invited three Hong Kong guests to take us from the vested interests behind bamboo scaffolding, to the collapse of professionalism, and then to question how Hongkongers can find a way to survive in a "politicized disaster." The first is Anna Kwok, Senior Analyst at the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), who was formerly a spokesperson for "Keyboard Frontline." The second is Sanho Chung, a postdoctoral researcher at National Taiwan Normal University, who previously served as an editorial board member for *Flow Magazine* and focuses on research into Hong Kong's political development and social change. The third is Kris Cheng, an independent journalist who previously worked for Voice of America's Cantonese service.Click to watch the full live broadcast replay:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnElrMAV_dMTimeline:02:34 Guest Sharing: As Hongkongers, what are your thoughts after this major fire?06:17 The beginning and end of the "bamboo scaffolding" controversy: How did it evolve into a China-Hong Kong ideological dispute? 10:02 Systemic collapse: How have vested interests and regulatory failures persisted for so long? 12:18 The silencing of professionalism: Why is it said that Hong Kong now only has "government agents," and are professional bodies still active? 15:56 Chief Executive John Lee's "thank you list": Why was the first reaction to thank Xi Jinping? 16:51 Hong Kong's grassroots self-help and material mobilization22:08 Is queuing to lay flowers simply mourning, or a silent form of political resistance? 25:37 Official characterization: Why equate public calls for an "independent investigation" with "black violence"? 27:00 The Liaison Office of the National Security Commission in Hong Kong's "Cultural Revolution-esque" statement: Has Hong Kong's governance logic undergone a "genetic mutation"?38:07 The era of pan-politicization: Why is all criticism framed as "endangering national security"?44:50 The first disaster after the National Security Law: A true sense of "living under authoritarianism"? 48:53 Listener Question: Following the Greater Bay Area integration trend, will Hong Kong be fully "China-standardized" within ten years? 53:30 "Care Teams" enter the scene: Are they to comfort families, or are they "Chaoyang Masses"?57:48 Will any officials step down because of this fire? 01:01:12 Under the shadow of the National Security Law, what else can Hongkongers do?

After the 2022 White Paper Movement, Li Ying, whose Twitter handle is @李老师不是你老师, transformed from an art student who originally just posted witty remarks on Weibo into one of the most influential overseas dissidents. Bumingbai Podcast interviewed him on the first anniversary of the White Paper Movement and earlier this year, and each time, host Yuan Li noticed his significant changes. Over the past three years, he seems to have grown from a reluctant rebel into an active and optimistic revolutionary.Li Ying said he started reposting simply out of a desire to return home during the pandemic, but ultimately could never go home again. Now, Teacher Li's Twitter account has over two million followers, broadcasting daily to the world about what is happening in China. Forced demolitions here, factories owing wages there, a lone brave individual appearing in yet another city. This year, some have called Teacher Li's Twitter account the overseas petition office.Besides operating the Twitter account, Li Ying has done even more in the past two years. He and his team have started more crowdsourced investigation projects, such as the 'Cattle and Horses ICU' we discussed in a previous podcast. He and his team also run a daily news channel on YouTube.How did the White Paper Movement affect Li Ying's life? What did Li Ying experience, transforming from an ordinary art student studying abroad to a dissident carefully profiled by China? How does he understand everything he has encountered?

The guest today is **Tan Jie, Senior Research Scientist and Tech Lead at Google DeepMind Robotics Team**. His research focuses on applying foundation models and deep reinforcement learning methods to the field of robotics. There have always been two narratives in the field of robotics between China and the US: the market generally believes that China develops faster in hardware, while the US leads in robotic brain design. **In this episode, Tan Jie will offer us a glimpse into the cutting-edge narrative of robotics from a Silicon Valley perspective, especially that of Google DeepMind.** Not long ago, they just released their new work "Gemini Robotics 1.5 brings AI agents into the physical world," and we also discussed their latest findings. Due to the guest's work environment, there will be a certain degree of mixed Chinese and English, and we ask for everyone's understanding and support. > **02:00 Robotics is doing graphics in the real world; graphics is doing robotics in simulation.** Guest's brief biography: Liked playing games as a child, pursued a Ph.D. in computer graphics. The transition from graphics to robotics. My first paper at Google, "Sim-to-Real: Learning Agile Locomotion For Quadruped Robots," pioneered the application of reinforcement learning and sim-to-real in legged robots. Paradigm Shift: The first in the past decade was reinforcement learning, the second was large language models. The impact of large language models on robotics (large language models are like the cerebrum, reinforcement learning is like the cerebellum). > **13:06 Is the robotics foundation model truly a very independent discipline? So far, not yet.** What stage has robotics development reached today? It's not an exaggeration for a decade to pass from a demo to actual implementation. From my perspective, I have to admit that the development of robotics intelligence in recent years has mainly relied on multimodal large models. But what do multimodal models lack? They lack the output of robot actions. When you truly have a generalist model, specialized models simply cannot compete with it. > **23:44 The biggest problem in Robotics is data; it's in a very complex unstructured environment where anything can happen.** The biggest problem is still data. But robotics operates in a very complex unstructured environment where anything can happen. It requires an extremely large amount of very diverse data, but such data does not currently exist. There are many startups now called "data factory." What does the so-called "data pyramid" include? > **​27:52 Gemini Robotics 1.5: We have a method called motion transfer, which is our unique secret.** What are the most important discoveries of Gemini Robotics 1.5? First, we incorporated "thinking" into the VLA model. The second very important breakthrough is cross-embodiment transfer. In the Gemini Robotics 1.5 work, we made a distinction between fast and slow models. It should be a transitional approach, as it is currently constrained by computational power and model size. When you want a unify model, it must be very large. Motion Transfer? It's very secret. > **47:32 Generating a huge amount of simulated data is an important means to compensate for its shortcomings.** One point we attach great importance to is data, data, data. Teleoperation is very difficult data to acquire. We will put more effort into using, for example, simulation data, human video, data from YouTube, and even model-generated data, such as some data generated by VEO. Real data has no sim-to-real gap, but generalizability is determined by data coverage, not by whether it's real or virtual data itself. In the near future, traditional physical simulation will gradually be replaced by generative model-based simulation. I believe in scalable data. > **01:03:48 A world model is Vision-Language-Vision, vision and language in, generating the next frame of images.** The definition of a world model is: if you provide the previous frame and the robot's action, you can predict the next frame. From another perspective, VEO is a video generation model, but Genie is more like a world model. When you can have an input at each frame to change your next frame, that feeling is a world model; but if it's an already generated, static video of a few seconds, then it's not. A world model is essentially Vision-Language-Vision, with vision and language as input, it can generate the next frame of images. > **01:08:29 If you have a dexterous hand, haptics become very important. The reason I previously thought haptics were not important was limited by the hardware at the time.** If you have a dexterous hand, haptics become very important. The reason I previously thought haptics were not important was that it was actually limited by the hardware at the time. We are still in the gripper era. For all tasks that can be accomplished by grippers, I still believe vision can solve 95% of the problems. In the future, humanoid robots will not be the only form, but they will definitely be a mainstream form. If your goal is to solve AGI in the physical world, then I will be very focused on what the final form looks like; other things might be distractions. > **01:17:35 A person with a sense of mission will not tolerate saying "I'm on a wrong ship."** Have there been any changes in Google AI or robotics research culture in recent years? Whether it's promotion, performance review, incentive, or various structures, Google wants to create an environment where more people can work together to solve bigger problems. Like Gemini Robotics, it's more top-down. I found that China might not be as competitive as me; I might work 70 to 80 hours a week. Seriously, this era really can't wait, otherwise others will have already done it. A lot of AI is mathematics, and Chinese people are generally better at mathematics. 《106.

Today's program is a rerun. Three years ago, on November 24, a residential building in Urumqi caught fire, and due to lockdown measures, some residents were unable to escape, ultimately resulting in 10 deaths. The authorities' callousness, indifference, and arrogance regarding this incident sparked immense public discontent. The accumulated sorrow, anger, and despair among the people gradually escalated into offline protests.First, Urumqi citizens, then Beijing citizens, followed by university students across the country, and finally on Urumqi Middle Road in Shanghai. While mourning the victims of the fire, people demanded an end to lockdowns, no transfers, no nucleic acid testing, and some even loudly shouted slogans that were unimaginable just a few days prior: they wanted freedom, democracy, press freedom, the CCP to step down, and Xi Jinping to step down.Three years ago, the Bumingbai podcast interviewed 6 young people who participated in offline demonstrations in Shanghai and other places. At that time, the voices from the scene and the protesters were so real, and our emotions were so intense. At the time, I wanted to know what drove them to the scene, to post flyers. Were they afraid? Did they think such protests were meaningful?Three years have passed since the White Paper Movement. Some young people paid a price, and many consider it a significant turning point in their lives, as it gave rise to important movements and communities. Although the enthusiasm for discussing and mentioning the White Paper Movement may wane over time, three years ago, it greatly inspired each of us, showing that resistance can yield results. Today, we are re-releasing this podcast from three years ago, to commemorate the courage of all protesters and all those who passed away in the lockdown disaster.Click to view text versionTimeline:01:58 Protester 1.

Story FM Episode 867A quick announcement before today's program begins: This Sunday, the 30th, we will be holding a Story Open Mic in Beijing. The theme for this open mic is "Things We Never Said Out Loud": unspoken emotions and quietly hidden stories often contain the most authentic truths of life. This time, we have specially invited three guests who are deeply involved in grassroots public welfare work, to let them reveal for the first time those "unspoken" truths.You are welcome to find the free registration link in this episode's shownotes or on Story FM's official WeChat account. We look forward to seeing you there on Sunday!Aizhe's Note:Especially in rural towns and townships, some mothers, after experiencing divorce, the death of their husband, or losing their ability to work, fall into financial hardship and have no choice but to shoulder the heavy burden of the family. They rush around for a living while also taking care of children and the elderly. They have no time to break down, no way to escape. They work during the day and support the family at night. Within their seemingly fragile bodies, a backbone has grown, supporting the entire family. Today's storyteller, Wu Qinying, is such a pillar of a mother./Staff/Storytellers | Wu Qinying, Chen FangHost | @StoryFM AizheInterviewer | @StoryFM AizheProducer | XiaochengSound Designer | XiaochengOperations | MingmingUse your voice to tell your story.

Recently, Sino-Japanese relations have suddenly become tense, the cause being Sanae Takaichi's continuation of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's statement "A Taiwan contingency is a Japan contingency" during a parliamentary interpellation. The Chinese side subsequently took a series of strong reactions, with Chinese Consul General in Osaka Xue Jian using words like "beheading" in a tweet, the Chinese military announcing live-fire drills in the Yellow Sea, and the Chinese government calling on its citizens not to travel or study in Japan, and to stop importing Japanese seafood.How did Sanae Takaichi manage to become Japan's first female prime minister? What are her governing philosophies, and where do her diplomatic ideas originate? Are China's series of pressure tactics more for the Japanese audience or the Chinese audience? Under intense pressure, will Sanae Takaichi retract her statements, and will she be a short-lived prime minister or potentially become a long-serving one like Shinzo Abe?This episode's guest, Akio Yaita, is perhaps the most suitable person to discuss these issues, and we held a live broadcast with him on Sunday. Akio Yaita was born in Tianjin; his father was a Japanese national who remained in China after World War II. He immigrated to Japan with his family at the age of 15, and previously served as a China correspondent and Taipei Bureau Chief for Sankei Shimbun. He founded the "Indo-Pacific Strategy Think Tank" in Taipei. Akio Yaita has known Sanae Takaichi for nearly 30 years, and in April this year, he invited Takaichi, who was visiting Taiwan as a member of the House of Representatives at the time, to speak at a forum at the Indo-Pacific Strategy Think Tank, serving as her interpreter himself.Everyone is welcome to watch the full live broadcast replay on the "Uncommon Sense Podcast" YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/3bzqqKIR6ZoTimestamps:01:56 How did Sanae Takaichi become Japan's first female prime minister?08:14 Family background: working-class, preference for sons over daughters11:32 A parliamentarian who dislikes socializing14:30 Shinzo Abe's successor?

More and more friends around me are starting businesses related to 'going global' or overseas expansion. Whether at friends' gatherings or offline events of Crazy Capital, the hot topic of discussion is often about where the opportunities for overseas expansion lie and what the key elements are for successfully going global. The path to globalization for emerging Chinese brands is still in its early stages, and everyone must face the difficulties and challenges head-on. In this episode, we hope to inspire your thinking through several typical case studies: Why did Sushiro become a huge success after its second entry into China, while Tsutaya Books has consistently struggled to adapt to the Chinese market? After years of entering the Chinese market, how did Crocs 'clogs' achieve growth again by relying on 'shoe charms'? What are the differences in the popularity of Saizeriya's product portfolio, known as the 'Italian Shaxian Delicacies', in the Chinese and Japanese markets?

Today's guest is Liu Xianming, head of Xpeng Motors' autonomous driving center. On October 9, 2025, Xpeng Motors suddenly announced that Li Liyun, the former head of the autonomous driving center, would step down and be replaced by Liu Xianming, the head of the world base model. This means that Liu Xianming is the fourth person in charge of Xpeng's autonomous driving after Gu Junli, Wu Xinzhou (now head of Nvidia's autonomous driving China team), and Li Liyun. The outside world is very curious about him. **This is Liu Xianming's first exclusive interview since taking office.** Our interview time was October 30, 2025. In this episode, **we talked about his key technology decisions to dismantle the large model Language after taking office, and the AI strategic transformation of a car company.** > **02:16 Character Sketch** Formerly engaged in machine learning and computer vision research at Meta and Cruise It just so happened that Cruise was second at the time, and the story of joining the second place and counterattacking is always exciting. The beginning and end of joining Xpeng Motors: meeting with He Xiaopeng in the US office for 1 hour in January 2024 The technical stage of autonomous driving that he has personally experienced > **19:00 Large Model Dismantles Language** Our approach is simple and direct, just dismantle the VLA's Language The model is a machine, the fuel is data, and once Language is mixed in, the efficiency becomes extremely low. We simply dismantled all the Language: input V-L joint corpus, directly output Action The process of "dismantling L", "simple is beautiful" Key data issues > **33:53 Xpeng Motors' Transformation to a Physical AI Strategy** Why does the autonomous driving strategy of a car company need to transform to an AI strategy? The beginning of the transformation may be the 10th anniversary of Xpeng Motors last year. Autonomous driving companies are concerned about KPIs and takeover rates, while AI companies focus on underlying technical indicators, even risky long-term indicators. Liu Xianming's short-term and long-term KPIs What does AI mean to Xpeng Motors? "It's a multiplication factor" In addition to dismantling Language this year, lidar, regulation and control rules, and end-to-end have also been dismantled before. Why has the development of artificial intelligence been going through a process of dismantling? World model Planning for L4 next year > **54:30 Behind the Change of Leadership** Things I've done in the past year that were "stubborn" It looks like I have a good personality, but I have also slammed the table and lost my temper. I encountered great resistance in the process of "dismantling L" because it goes against common sense in papers. The counter-consensus of DeepSeek-OCR Current focus on cutting-edge AI directions Responding to the views of Yu Kai, founder of Horizon ("Autonomous driving should be handed over to suppliers") Why is there no generational difference in domestic autonomous driving? AI is an important competition point for car companies in the next stage, and those who don't do well will be eliminated. He Xiaopeng's attention time, methods, and recent 3 topics on AI The gene problem of manufacturing companies and AI companies Next, the challenges for me Xpeng Zhidong's number one position, everyone's historical mission 《70.

Unclear Podcast's first talk show episode, Yuan Li, Cha Jianying, and Robert Daly discussed infrastructure, AI, and China through the lens of foreign internet celebrities. China's magnificent infrastructure has become a popular topic for English-speaking internet celebrities. Writer Cha Jianying was an early student who went to the United States in the 1980s, and Dai Bo first came to China in the 1980s. How do they view the praise of Chinese infrastructure in these online celebrity videos? Is this part of China's "great foreign propaganda" or is it the filter of foreign internet celebrities at work? The content of this dialogue also includes: Why does China invest huge resources in infrastructure, but is reluctant to supplement social security? From the Chongqing East Railway Station with an investment of more than 50 billion yuan, the English-speaking internet celebrities' praise for China's high-speed rail, the dilapidation of the New York subway, and the quagmire of California's high-speed rail - what kind of institutional logic and national will are reflected behind these comparisons? How are efficiency, freedom, speed and happiness ranked in the two development paths of China and the United States? Will the Chinese model be the future the world wants to see? **This episode was recorded offline.
