Origins and Evolution of Chinatalk

Chinatalk originated as a project by a student at Peking University in 2017, initially serving as a medium for learning Chinese through translations. The idea evolved through COVID-19, transitioning the focus from a newsletter to a podcast format to engage broader audiences. The importance of U.S.-China relations is underscored, particularly the implications of technology and AI, which are viewed as pivotal for global influence and national power dynamics. This motivation has driven the creators to provide rigorous analysis and build a platform for in-depth discussions on these critical issues.
