So, we hear there’s a big rollback in US/China tariffs for a 90-day “truce.” While this is obviously good interim news, there’s so much more to it than just a slash in percentages from “insanely high” to “that’s still pretty high in the grand scheme…”

But while the trade war trudges on, one side’s still charging ahead with some seriously impressive tech advancements. We all know who. China’s been testing its maglev train—dubbed “T-Flight”—on the Hyperloop system for a while now, gearing up for plane-speed rides that could shrink a Beijing-to-Shanghai trip to just 90 minutes. Well, recent tests are bringing us closer, with new maglev speeds hitting near Boeing-level. More on that here.

But it’s not all just evolving tech from China. In Nandan County, Guangxi Province, there’s a music festival that mixes live contemporary rock from across the country with ethnic culture. We’re talking traditional garbs trumping your “Coachella” style skimpies, plus traditional games and performances. Plus, it’s for all ages, so keep an eye out for those head-banging grandmas. Another thing to watch? You guessed it: IShowSpeed. No, he’s not back in China, but he’s popping up on Chinese screens in a pretty damn creative ad for dairy company Yili’s latest drink. It’s definitely worth a watch.
