Герой нашего эпизода – Артем Жданов. Наиболее известный как главный редактор & основатель русскоязычного информационного источника о Поднебесной “ЭКД!” ("Это Китай, детка!”); директор по маркетингу компании UCHINA; а также основатель бренда LaowaiMe, Артем постоянно экспериментирует с форматами креативного контента, позиционируя себя (как он сам нам сказал) как медийный предприниматель, вещающий “О Китае – миру!”. Мы поймали Артема в Шанхае, где он сейчас базируется, чтобы спросить у него: каково это – быть медийном предпринимателем, и что интерес...

Over 90% of foreigners in China speak ZERO Chinese?Turns out, yes. This figure was quoted by Ilya Cheremnikh, founder of Culture Yard Chinese Language School, whom we talked to two weeks ago. That weekend we decided to do something new with the SCOLAR Talk format, grabbed our tripods, microphones, cameras and phones, and set out to Beijing hutongs to talk to the Russian Israeli businessman and a Chinese language teacher, the main hero of our episode today.Ilya’s story is an interesting one: born in Russia, Saint Petersburg, he moved to Jerusalem in his childhood and reached China more than a decade ago to start a language school. We had lots of questions to ask from our guest – who was simultaneously “hosting” us in the cosy corner of the narrow-alleyed hutongs in central Beijing, where every day he is relentlessly working to reach his dream of “teaching Chinese language through culture”.The product of our experiment is a 25-minute video interview, where Ilya is sharing his an...

Welcome this show’s east-most episode recorded so far!For the next half an hour, we will be looking at Eurasia from Tokyo with a rather special guest: Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, a speechwriter and special advisor to Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.Professor Taniguchi also serves as a tenured professor at Keio University in Tokyo, Japan (and where Olesya, our interviewer, is based until January). Throughout his professional career, professor Taniguchi has changed his location multiple times, working as a researcher and journalist in several reputable institutions worldwide including Nikkei Business, Brookings Institution, Foreign Press Association, Princeton University and Shanghai Institute of International Studies. In 2005, professor Taniguchi joined Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and started writing speeches for then-foreign minister Taro Aso, and subsequently PM Shinzo Abe.How difficult is it – to write a speech for the highest political figure in the country? How d...

Today we bring you an episode about the Taihe Institute, an independent Beijing-based research institution, and its 3rd Taihe Civilizations Forum, which gathered 200+ participants from political, academic and media circles just outside Beijing at the outset of September. SCOLAR also attended the Forum as a co-organizer of the special youth session “AGORA: Taihe vision”, together with the APEC Voices of the Future, Global Shapers Beijing Hub 2, and G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance.What does 太和 （tài hé) mean? Why, in the age of states, a young Chinese think-tank tells us to focus on the dialogue between civilisations? What does Taihe Institute do to bridge the gaps – not only between civilisations, but also between generations? Where does the youth come onto the scene, and what skills will it need to face the fast-paced global development? Exploring these and other questions with us in the first part of the episode is our guest Xinzhu (Vicky) He, Executive Director of Taihe ...
