"I still recall a day seven years ago when Dan Wang invited me to lunch and
asked my advice. He was considering moving to China to work for the research
firm Gavekal Dragonomics, and wanted to know if I thought this would be a good
career move. I answered with an unequivocal “Yes”, and I’m happy to say that I
was right, because Dan quickly became one of the most incisive Western writers
about China. His yearly letters — lengthy, discursive blends of travelogue,
cultural analysis, historical musings, and commentary on current affairs — have
become required reading. I’ve personally learned a great deal from them — my
most widely read post on China, a discussion of Xi Jinping’s crackdown on the
IT industry, was inspired and informed by one of Dan’s letters.
Sadly, as Dan explains, those letters have now come to an end. But happily,
that’s because he has moved back to the U.S. to take a visiting scholar
position at Yale Law School, where he will write many more interesting things
for us to read. In this long and eye-opening interview, Dan and I discuss a
whole range of timely China-related economic and policy issues — decoupling,
export controls, industrial policy, increasing state control, etc. — and what
ramifications these will have inside and outside of the country. If you want to
understand the momentous changes taking place in and around China right now,
here is a good place to start."
