In the past couple of years, blockchain has become the buzzword for everyone in the tech world. One search for the word on LinkedIn and you’ll find dozens of first- and second-tier connections with profile titles like ‘blockchain enthusiast,’ ‘blockchain professional’ or ‘blockchain entrepreneur.’ So just what exactly is blockchain? Why are so many people in China, including the nation’s leaders, singing its praises so loudly? More importantly, how does this technology affect our future? Turn to our cover story (p36-45) to find out more.
After a trip to the future, our City feature this month takes a look at the past with the works from the Vision and Reflection: Photographs of China in the 19th Century from the Loewentheil Collection exhibition in Beijing. On p10-12, you will find images of various Chinese cities from more than 200 years ago.
Elsewhere in the mag, we’re excited about some of the shows that will be happening this month. Check out our interviews with old school pop-punk band Descendents (p30) and electro-pop princess MØ (p32) in the Arts section. Meanwhile, we check in with travel writer Vincent Wang (p22) about his favorite hotel design trends and take a peek at his massive hotel brochure collection.
Last but not least, we’ve combined two of our favorite things – Sex and the City and burgers – in our Eat & Drink feature. Find out which of Shanghai’s favorite burgers belong to Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha, Miranda and Mr. Big on p56.
