Beware the wedding e-invite!

Podcast cover

Round Table China

The podcast explores cultural and social observations in China, focusing on the prevalence of black down jackets in Beijing as a practical yet uniform fashion choice during winter. It challenges the notion that Beijingers lack fashion sense, arguing that prioritizing warmth and practicality is a rational and democratic choice. The discussion extends to e-wedding invitations and the social pressures created by visitor tracking features on these platforms. It questions whether the convenience of these digital invites outweighs the potential for awkwardness and privacy concerns, especially when attendance isn't possible.
