This program will focus on how music influences the Chinese tv show or the film. The role of OST is underappreciated for the audience, but the music makes the movie; a TV show without the songs is nothing because it won’t communicate the same to the audience. That’s why this program will make people think about the importance of the OST by the most used Chinese songs and their meanings. The idea is to play different typical songs and then translate the chorus to English for the audience to know the meaning and to understand why these are so used over and over again in movies or tv shows. In conclusion, talk about how the songs help to make the audience more emotional with the action in the film.

In this program, we gladly invited two guests Siqi Yang and Jingjie Ma to talk about the trend of paid content in China. For many years, China was known mostly for copying U.S. innovations. Now, with the blooming of new companies and products like Dedao, Zhihu live and Douban shijian, looks like the copy-catting is flowing the other way. Have these new products redefined online education? Is that really happening in China or is it just another bubble created by venture investment industry? Could genernal Chinese feel the change? And would it make this world a better place? The answer is in the wind but we would love to try to find it.

In Episode 79 of Tech Buzz China, Rui and Ying talk about a company that aspires to be “China’s L’Oréal” for the digital age: Yatsen Group, owner of smash hit cosmetics app Perfect Diary (完美日记) among other brands. Though we at Tech Buzz have never directly covered the company, we have mentioned it, including in Episode 70 with Lauren Hallanan; as well during last week’s Q3 Market Trends call (link available through Dec. 9) with BigOne Lab’s Mengyao Ren. Yatsen recently listed on the NYSE, and it’s got a nearly $12 billion market cap. 

Listen and follow along with us as we explore Yatsen’s founding story, their evolving strategy,  reasons for their success, and the role of clever marketing. We’ll also talk about how the company’s various tactics speak to the evolution of China’s content ecommerce ecosystem. Finally, listeners will hear from Mark Tanner, the founder and Managing Director of Shanghai-based marketing and research firm China Skinny.

China’s Fintech Explosion: Disruption, Innovation, and Survival | Sara Hsu

It's going to be much more difficult for countries in Africa and other developing regions to borrow money from China. New research from Boston University's Global Development Policy Center reveals a sharp drop in overseas lending by the country's two largest policy banks, from $75 billion in 2016 to just $4 billion last year.

After years of sometimes profligate lending, Chinese creditors are showing newfound discipline on what they finance.

Dr. Yan Wang, a senior visiting fellow at the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, is among the world's leading experts in Chinese overseas development finance. She joins Eric & Cobus to discuss her latest research on the issue and why she thinks Beijing is now pulling back the reins on lending.
