Finally.
Valley 101, one of most prominent Chinese tech podcasts, now has an English-language channel.
I’ve loved their shows for years. So many times, I wanted to share an episode with American colleagues or friends, only to remember they couldn’t understand Chinese.
Valley 101 does thoughtful, long-form reporting on technology, business, and the people shaping Silicon Valley and China’s AI industry. You hear directly from the founders, engineers, researchers, and investors closest to the work.
The timing feels right. Just yesterday, Bilibili began rolling out its new international app, starting with Android, as part of a broader push to reach overseas viewers and creators.
A widely cited study found that 47% of the world’s top-tier AI researchers in 2022 received their undergraduate education in China. There is no shortage of Chinese technology stories worth telling, or talented people creating work that could benefit the rest of the world.
The language barrier has kept too many of those stories inside one ecosystem.
I’m glad Valley 101 is helping them travel.
