Forty years ago, Shenzhen was a small southern Chinese fishing village, just across the border from Hong Kong. Today, it’s one of the world’s most advanced megacities, with a population of nearly 20 million people and home to many of the tech industry’s largest companies, including Huawei, Tencent, DJI, and Transsion, among countless others.

That remarkable transformation within a single lifetime offers important lessons for Kenya, Vietnam, and other developing countries seeking to build their own technology hubs.

Grace Yuehan Wang, a visiting scholar at the London School of Economics and a research fellow at Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, joins Eric to discuss her new book, which explores how Shenzhen was able to develop so quickly and what lessons its remarkable rise offers countries across the Global South seeking to build their own technology hubs.
