  • The Big Tick Asia is a great podcast

    Why does the American host pronounce the name of this fine podcast as “The Big Tick”? I’m not the only one hearing this, right?

    That’s my sole criticism of a top-notch news podcast telling fascinating stories about Asia’s business world and the personalities who make it move. I learn something interesting and vital every week. Keep up the great work, Big Tick crew.

  • Great show but episodes are too short

    Excellent reporting on a wide range of topics. But 15 minutes is barely enough time to scratch the surface. Fine for a daily podcast; too short for a weekly show.

  • A new favorite

    It’s really not easy to get high quality insights into Asia. The “west” is still largely uninterested in what’s happens in Asia. Sweden’s public broadcaster recently canceled a very popular podcast about China. I found this looking for something to help me stay abreast on China and Asia.

    Highly recommended. Oanh Ha is a great host.

Meet OpenClaw: The AI Craze Sweeping China
Q: What are the regulatory and security concerns surrounding its use?

Meet OpenClaw: The AI Craze Sweeping China
Q: What is OpenClaw and why has it taken off in China?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI agent that can read files, interact with editing software, and perform actions on a user's behalf, effectively acting as a digital assistant that can streamline tasks and even trade or manage bookings; its uptake in China has been driven by government support, a vibrant open-source ecosystem, and the appeal of real-world productivity gains, which together created a frenzy of experimentation and adoption.
The Rise and Fall of an Alleged Scam Boss
Q: What was life like for the workers involved in the scam operations?
Workers were a mix of salaried employees and fraud victims brought under false pretenses; some were paid and treated as regular IT workers, while others faced punishments and coercion, with many coerced into long shifts in centralized scam centers.
The Escalating Conflict With Iran
Q: What has the president said, Jeff, about why they did this now, why they undertook this at this moment?

Why the US-India Trade Deal Hinges on Russian Oil
Q: How does this make Modi look at home and on the world stage? Is there a way he can spin this to make it look like a win?
