Some of the largest and most innovative companies to come out of the Web2 era have come from China. Many of these companies have become household names around the world including the most recent, and most prominent example: TikTok (or Douyin as it is known in China). But what is China’s approach to the Metaverse and how are the Chinese brands building the Metaverse thinking about the future? I recently spoke with Alvin Graylin who may well be the most qualified person to share thoughts on the subject. Alvin is President of HTC China, President of the Virtual Reality Venture Capital Alliance (VRVCA), and Vice Chairman of the Industry of Virtual Reality Alliance (IVRA), and he was kind enough to share his views on the technology today and how he sees its future potential coming to fruition. PODCAST TOPICS: Our discussion was wide ranging, but a few of the subjects covered include:  The difference between Metaverse and Web3China's approach to growing and investing in MetaverseA perspective on the different phases of Metaverse evolution: from Walled Garden to Open MetaverseKey use cases that are taking shapeHow brands are getting involved in ChinaResponsible governanceLearning from the different approaches taken to developing the MetaverseIt was a fascinating conversation, and I encourage you to listen to what Alvin has to say. I know I learned a lot. CREDITS Host: Justin Peyton Guest: Alvin Graylin
