Episode notes

Jack Ma: TikTok is a form of digital arbitrage. It's like you're going to allow that arbitrage to exist, which is what TikTok does. China is ideologically against a lot of Western values. And now they have the dominant attention grabbing app. That's layer number one. Layer number two is they already don't really play on a level playing field,. Facebook, Google, Twitter, not allowed in China. This is exactly the next level.
