Playtime is about to get safer

from Round Table China

China's colossal toy industry is sprinting toward a high-tech, novelty-driven future, with AI companions and collectible blind boxes flying off shelves. In response, regulators have hit the brakes, enacting some of the world's toughest national safety standards. We explore the collision between breakneck innovation and a renewed crusade for safety, and asks who ultimately wins when playthings get smarter and rules get stricter. On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun
