your mobile phone.

Before the interview, I share why smartphones play a very different role in China compared to many other countries.

Then, Sitian shares his real experience as a foreigner living in China — how mobile apps affect daily life, transportation, payments, navigation, and even social interactions.

This is not a tutorial.

It’s a real conversation about adaptation, small confusions, funny moments, and practical realities.

As part of We Speak Each Other’s Language, this episode focuses on culture — how everyday tools shape the way people live, move, and connect in China.

🎧 Watch before you come to China — or if you’re already here, you’ll probably relate.
