36Kr
36氪
36Kr is a Chinese tech and venture-capital media platform that, in elsewhere's corpus, shows up most consistently as the industry's ranking-and-event machine: it publishes annual China equity-investment lists for both firms and individual investors — such as the "China's Most Influential Early-Stage Investment Institutions TOP10" and "China Early-Stage Investment Institutions TOP15," on which Yunqi Capital appeared — backed by an online survey system for the VC market that had run for three straight years as of 2026 . Its awards go back a while: as early as 2017 it was naming "most discerning investors" in China's new-finance sector, citing Source Code Capital winners . Beyond lists, 36Kr runs content IPs with 暗涌Waves — the WAVES Radio podcast — annual industry conferences like the 2023 "Industry Future" summit, and the "36 Under 36" program to surface young founders, launched in November 2021 . It also co-hosts industry visits with funds, such as taking frontier-tech companies to BYD with Gaorong Ventures in 2022 . Related coverage: per a Qiming Venture Partners piece, 36Kr's 2025 China equity-investment lists named Qiming and partners Kuang Ziping, Hu Xubo, and Zhou Zhifeng .

(Archived; originally published in September 2025, later removed by the platform for violating content policies) Over the past few years, I've only subscribed to two intellectual frameworks. One is Germanic Win Theory. The other is sexual repression. Germanic Win Theory is the quantum mechanics of politics. It points out that international relations has its own observer effect — whether a country or a policy counts as a "win" can be purely subjective. Take Trump: he declares he's won, and for at least a few years, he really has won. Sexual repression...
