ChinaTalk is a hybrid think tank and media outlet with deep expertise on China and emerging technology. Founded by Jordan Schneider as a graduate school project at Peking University, it has grown into one of the most widely read China-tech policy publications, with over 65,000 newsletter subscribers and 10-15k podcast listens per episode. ChinaTalk covers semiconductors, AI policy, US-China relations, and emerging technology, delivering original analysis and interviews to policymakers, investors, and technologists in both Silicon Valley and Washington D.C. The organization is expanding into a formal think tank structure called the ChinaTalk Institute.

Theory of Change
ChinaTalk believes that better-informed policymakers, investors, and technologists in the United States will make better decisions about AI development, semiconductor policy, and US-China relations. By translating Chinese-language sources, conducting expert interviews, and providing original analysis to key decision-makers in Washington and Silicon Valley, ChinaTalk aims to reduce the risk of misunderstanding or miscalculation in the US-China technology competition. On AI safety specifically, ChinaTalk covers China's AI capabilities and governance approaches, helping Western policymakers understand the landscape and potentially enabling more coordinated or informed international approaches to managing advanced AI risks.
