Who they are
A China analyst best known for his annual letters, which blend on-the-ground reporting from mainland China with a technology and industrial-policy lens. William Hockey cites Wang's observation that San Francisco and Beijing are the two most consensus-driven societies on earth — everyone in each city reads the same things, believes the same things, and underweights the same risks. For a founder based in SF, that's a warning, not a compliment.
Core Ideas
- Consensus societies — SF and Beijing as twin monocultures
- China — decades of firsthand reporting on industrial capacity
