Rui Ma(@ruima):It's pretty clear to me many American "elites" definitely do not talk to anyone outside of their class, country, or ethnicity. It will be interesting how many people eventually realize the world has been changing under their eyes. One of the things I super appreciate about running @TechBuzzChina is that I've gotten to talk to and hang out with so many people from different international backgrounds. Now, the socioeconomic status does tend to be middle to upper for those kinds of conversations but due to my interest and work in philanthropy, I also have cultivated a pretty good network with the populations that tend to be overlooked, and that's been very helpful at giving context, at least when it comes to China
