James and Ben are back after a two-week break. The pair have been doing double podcasts to make up for their absence. James says he feels guilty about taking days off over the Christmas period. But it has helped him come up with new ideas, writes Ben.
Ben and James discuss Xiaomi’s ambition to own the home, why we’re frustrated with patents, why the West is unfair to the developing world, and what makes China unique.
