Current focus: The Beijing visit is only the front door.

For live/current events, first check `/episodes/` and `/interviews/` for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. ## Extracted Topic Notes - normative: Jiang says it does not make sense for him to buy gold or Bitcoin because he is neither an institutional nor a long-term investor and does not have large wealth.
