  • Kai talks with WashPo food reporter, Laura Reiley, about how the food industry is combatting knockoffs and mislabeling with new tech and tracing methods.
  • When you step foot into China, pretty much every app or software you use back home is useless here. China is a world of Alipay, Wechat, Taobao, Didi. Since the pandemic, we have become even more reliant on our smart phones for grocery delivery, ordering at restaurants and registering for events and tourist sites. But even if people don’t care about data security and want to download Chinese apps, it’s almost impossible. So, where does that leave people who come on a business visit? Or tourists? Marketplace’s Jennifer Pak reports.
