Encapsulates the scale of China internet $1.3T market cap, 100+ listed companies. Vast majority of this value creation happened in the last 10 years. While we may be rattled by Covid-19 now, we are sketching a similar slide, for India, that will be apparent in 10 years. #Longterm

Spent time on the phone this AM with a super-smart early-stage investor friend in China. Interesting to hear about so much innovation around social shopping & new e-commerce models. There are two missing pieces of the ecosystem in the U.S. that is slowing this type of innovation.

an excellent & balanced thread on current state of what we know about Singapore's TraceTogether app and the (relatively low) privacy risks involved. If done well and with the right level of transparency this could genuinely save lives.
