Jackson Hole: The Chinese Wild West

| JACKSON HOLE, CHINA - BORN IN THE PRC | Nestled between snow-capped mountains there is an American wild west town called Jackson Hole, where the 1% ski in the winter and talk tech in the summer. Gorgeous wooden architecture, decor studded with antlers and leather accents, live “cowboy” shows, even a potato club. But the Jackson Hole we’re talking about isn’t the American wild west... it’s actually in China. Just two hours north of Beijing. What Neil and Andres want to know is WHY???We’re going to journey to Jackson Hole, China and find out what it is about the wild west that the Chinese elite can’t get enough of, and why that led them to build this facsimile of an American town. We’ll talk to the Chinese real estate mogul and the American designer who built it. Plus, what’s the Chinese obsession with copying everything American anyway? And how did they end up with something called “Tuna Jello”.For more, including links to the things we talked about, and the places we visit: https://www.frequencymachine.com/passport-episode-3-jackson-hole-born-in-the-prc.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
