Name a Chinese musician who could pack stadiums around the world like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé.

Jay Chow, Deng Ziqi, May Day (Wuyue tian), Joker Xue, Zhou Shen (Charlie Zhou)

All have packed out stadiums where I live, outside China

Name a Chinese writer or thinker whose ideas have infiltrated the intellectual discourse.

Liu Cunxin (was on Obama's reading list) and the proliferation of the Dark Forest theory is influential on tech bros up to Musk. Sun Zi because every finance bro has read The Art of War thinking it'll give them the edge

Name a clothing brand or style originating in China that has conquered the world.

Mao collar, qipao, both highly influential in their time

Name a Chinese product that you can’t live without.

Literally everything in my apartment from my fridge to my mobile, my laptop to my router
