In 1972, US President Richard Nixon made a historic visit to China. A plant of the American redwood tree was sent from Nixon's home state of #California# as a gift, along with four other saplings. Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai decided to plant them in #Hangzhou#, where he and Nixon would meet. Nixon said upon returning from China, "Just as we hope that those saplings—those tiny saplings that we left in China—will grow one day into mighty redwoods, so we hope, too, that the seeds planted on this journey for peace will grow and prosper into a more enduring structure for peace and security in the Western Pacific." The redwood tree has since then stood as a symbol of 🇺🇸🇨🇳 friendship and has been growing well to this day. Yet it has fared differently than in California—a reminder that plants, like people, need to adapt to the local environment.

My first piece for @NewYorker is out today! As Xi Jinping lands in DC to start his state visit, you'll hear a lot about the US-China AI race. I'd like to tell a complementary AI story. This past May, a few days after Trump visited Beijing, I went to the town people call China's vibe-coding capital, Liangzhu. There, you learn that China's AI scene is not monolithic. It's also full of contrarians, cool vibe coders, spiritual seekers, and people who love AI but refuse to join the 996 grind. Liangzhu is on the edge of Hangzhou. I hung out with a group of anti-mainstream builders who use AI to make whimsical apps for fortune-telling, mental well-being, and creativity. Some of them run their lives entirely by bazi astrology (their founder almost became a Taoist monk). They meet on "Crazy Thursday" to vibe-code together. Rent is cheap, so they can get a bigger place with a living room to have friends over (unthinkable in Beijing or Shenzhen). In Liangzhu, they want to use AI to forge their own future. It’s a ground-level story—less about model capabilities, hyperscalers, or AI policy, and more about how people in China are using AI, and the human stories behind it.

I spent 14 days in China, and it was my favorite trip in a while. It changed so much since I visited 11 years ago that it felt like a new country. Here is what I liked about China, and what I didn’t. 1. EV adoption is huge. 100% of scooters are electric. You can walk on busy streets and it’s surprisingly quiet! It made me enjoy cities again. 2. It’s so convenient. All restaurants let you scan a QR code to order and pay. You can order a taxi and drive 100 km for $30. The malls are so big you can spend an entire day there. 3. Value for money is top notch. Hotels are new, food is delicious, and yet everything is super affordable. Chinese people are really committed to doing their best, and you can feel this everywhere you go. It’s very humbling. 4. Chinese people are super friendly! We made friends everywhere we went: restaurants, hotels, taxis. I memorized Chinese sentences like 是免費的嗎？ (“Is it free?”) and I would repeat them to outdoor vendors for fun. They would laugh and come slap me on the shoulder! I even got a free ice cream doing this ^^ 5. Internet is a gamble. The Great Firewall blocks a lot of websites. You need a VPN and eSIM to access Western websites. And it’s not guaranteed to work, so it’s tricky to get deep work done. I used Revolut eSIMs. It’s expensive, but most websites worked. When I called my parents during the trip, they couldn’t believe how modern China is. For most people in the West, China is still a third-world country. There are 17 cities with 10M+ inhabitants. Most of them were built in the last 30 years. When I was in Hangzhou 杭州, I felt like I was in an ant house. Very crowded, yet super modern, quiet, and organized. My wife and I loved the trip so much. We’ll come back next year and get lost in China because there are so many wonderful places to go.

🍭 A sweet taste of Chinese culture! Laos students from Hangzhou Normal University tried sugar painting, a traditional Chinese folk art, during a visit to #Yuhang#. They crafted their own sweet creations and experienced China’s intangible cultural heritage. #CulturalExchange#

A West Lake sunset is never just a sunset — it's when Precious Stone Hill lights up like scattered gold, Leifeng Pagoda drapes itself in tangerine silk, and the water steals every shade of twilight. The breeze carries no agenda but gentleness. Stand by the shore, watch the sky dissolve into the lake, and let the evening hold you still. 🍃🌄💛 #SunsetSerenade# #Westlake# #Hangzhou# #Chinatravel#

Queen of the gardens of the sky, Where stars like lilies, white and fair, Shine through the mists of frosty air ——Oscar Wilde Xixi National Wetland Park, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is China’s first and only national wetland park—a peaceful urban oasis with over 1,800 years of history.

.@Xynovaofficial_ is one of the top rising players in China’s dexterous hand and humanoid robot components space, based in Hangzhou • They develop not only the hands but also all core components (linear actuators, motors, etc) and algorithms fully in-house • They use a hybrid drive system, combining tendon-driven and direct-drive methods • One of the most exciting features is wrist control and finger abduction/adduction, delivering much more natural hand and arm dexterity • They prevent the hand from overheating by placing one of the actuators in the arm (below the palm) • Hands are equipped with tactile sensors and lidars, with 23 DoF (human hands have ~27 DoF) The overall design is deeply inspired by real human hand and arm muscle movements, impressive biomimicry approach @TheHumanoidHub and I interviewed their tech lead so stay tuned for more technical details!
