【Who We Are】

The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

The American Roulette’s predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美轮美换" with 16 new episodes.

In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we’re building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美轮美换” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast. We introduce: “美轮美换 The American Roulette.”

Our Hosts and Guests:

Talich: U.S. politics, history, and culture enthusiast

王浩岚 (Haolan Wang): American political enthusiast, chief writer at Lán Mù WeChat Official Account, and peddler of information

寄馀生(Ji Yusheng): Comparative politics enthusiast

从TikTok到小红书:中国互联网创新的双重困境

从TikTok到小红书:中国互联网创新的双重困境

很多美国人没有充分意识到,中国的不少互联网应用在中国的政治环境下,逆势发展出了许多超越其国际市场同类应用的功能。这一点最早在阿里巴巴和eBay的竞争中体现:当时的中国线上支付体系不健全、信用体系缺位、用户信任度低,而恰恰是这些“劣势”倒逼中国企业开发出了具有突破意义的创新生态,以实现在中国进行买卖双方都能放心的线上交易。支付宝成为了淘宝整个电商生态的核心保障,最终使其在市场竞争中胜出美国竞争对手。此后因为政治原因,中国互联网服务需要与国际同行进行直接竞争的场景逐渐消失,但并不能简单认为中国互联网服务的流行只是因为缺乏外国竞争对手所形成的事实垄断。甚至可以说,恰恰是因为中国互联网市场的种种不利条件,倒逼着科技公司在所允许的范围内进行创新。如同负重训练的运动员,中国企业为了满足依然处于管控之下的国内市场需求,往往迸发出超预期的功能设计与运营模式。回到字节跳动和TikTok,作为一种融合了短视频、社交、算法分发等模式的产品形态,TikTok出海后迅速获得全球范围内的认可。字节跳动所依靠的不仅仅是中国巨大的本土用户基数,而是在算法推荐、内容形态等方面所展示出的技术优势。在内容控制被放松的自由市

美国大学校园政治的左右路线

美国大学校园政治的左右路线

上次通讯中我提到了一本关于美国大学校园政治的书《The Channels of Student Activism: How the Left and Right Are Winning (and Losing) in Campus Politics Today》。 这本书很有意思。作者在 2017-2018 学年,在美国四所公立大学 University of Arizona,University of Colorado Boulder,University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 和 University of Virginia 里随访了 77 名政治活动积极份子。借着对这些学生的深入采访,对美国大学里的校园政治做了一个梳理。 这里作者对学生的分类跟之前提过的新生调查的分类略有不同。首先,没有学生自称自己是极右的。
