Channel: Collaborative With Spencer Krause
Date: 09/07/2021

Join Spencer Krause and Kenny Chen for 3 minutes as they discuss China's globally expanding transportation and telecommunications infrastructure. In particular, the Belt and Road Initiative where China has laid down rail from Eastern China to Madrid in Spain, installed fiber and 5G networks all across the Eastern coast of Africa, and developed new data handling infrastructures to tie it all together.

Reliable infrastructure can be a powerful change for unification and societal advancement. That said, Chinese internet has not historically been an open forum. 

Kenny has family in Taiwan and Spencer, while less connected, once helped people in China circumvent the government's internet censorship program using a proxy server which he hosted.
