Interview with Sontag Shogun in Beijing

The recording from the Bookworm Literary Festival event "Tech in China" on March 21, 2015. http://beijingcream.com/2015/04/the-creamcast-ep-19/

Apologies for the construction work in the background; it gets better.

Highlights:

13-minute-mark: Josh Gartner on Baidu's IPO and the ecosystems available to start-ups now. 

20:20: Kaiser on "success," and whether that necessitates going abroad; be sure to catch his woolly mammoth analogy, which begins at 21:20.

27:40: Mark Natkin talks about Xiaomi and its advantages going into a market like India.

28:00: Eric Jou asks a question that touches on protectionism.

30-minute: Great Firewall... Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google... 

Kaiser makes a defense of the plucky, small, versatile Chinese entrepreneur vs. "the manager" of bigger, established foreign companies that "never really stood much of a chance against the equally well funded, scrappy, incredibly hungry entrepreneurs."

34:15: O2O in China, i.e. Online to Offline -- specifically how China is leading the way.

42:30: Natkin on some of the amazing services that are available due to low cost of fulfillment: did you know you can call someone to come to you, wherever you're at, to do your nails? Or have a chef shop and cook for you in your kitchen? ("iAyi," as Kaiser quips.) Also: closing of inefficiency gaps, exemplified by taxi apps.

49:30: How to make technology smarter? What does the future hold?
