(LINK) The China Cultural Clash – Stratechery by Ben Thompson
I don’t subscribe anymore to his newsletter so I am thankful this post is one of his public ones.
My beef has always been the simple premise that China is allowed to buy whatever they want overseas but they don’t allow me the same access in China.
They also don’t allow me to build and ship any product I want into China but yet with TikTok they want to build and ship to any country they want.
This NBA thing is the next facet to this issue – China can do whatever they want to control information in China but now they want to control information in other countries. I think they overplayed their hand here.
Let’s hope the global backlash grows and we get more companies and people speaking out like the NBA did.

Interesting how Ben talked about Apple’s special situation and now this:

Gonna be interesting to watch this play out – for the record I am with Hong Kong but I don’t think it will all end well. China owns HK and they will do as they please – no matter how much I don’t like it.

Book :: The Making Of A Manager
Finally finished this one off this weekend :: https://amzn.to/2LSnC8M
Really good read. I took 7 pages of notes and will keep the book around for reference.
As with any book there was a few chapters I found less relevant to me but most of it was great information.
There were many a framework that I found useful like how to run a meeting, how to do 1-1, team stuff and long-range planning.
If you happen to manage people and want to get better at it or aspire to be a better manager – this book is worth a read.
Enjoy!
