editor's note for Access newsletter

This Friday, The China Project is teaming up with Techonomy to discuss disentangling the escalating U.S.-China tech battleย with speakers Kaiser Kuo and founding partner of Race Capital Edith Yeung. We have room for 15 ACCESS members to attend a closed-door sessionย with the speakers after the event.ย Please email jesse@thechinaproject.comย if you are interested in that session and members will be selected on a first-come, first-serve basis.

On Wednesday, September 30, The China Project is hosting a live China Corner Office Podcastย on U.S.-China trade tensions and technology distrust, featuring the author of One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in Chinaย and Greater China Chairman for APCO Worldwide James McGregor.

Our word of the dayย is Oracleย (็”ฒ้ชจๆ–‡ jiวŽgว”wรฉn), the American company at the center of the deal to restructure TikTok. In Chinese, its name is the same as the word for oracle bone script, the earliest physical evidence of Chinese character writing.
