How China Built Tech Power Without Critical Thinking - Yinfi (YouTube, 17min)

This is a personal reflection on growing up and establishing a career in China, and how that experience shaped how I think.

Based on my own journey through school, university, and the tech industry, I explore a paradox: how a system that limits certain kinds of questioning can still produce innovation at scale.

It’s not just about China — it’s a philosophical look at what critical thinking really means, and what happens when it becomes optimised for answers rather than questions.
