This is NOT ❌ an article about China.
This IS ✅ an article about an “alternative, imaginary space” called China, where young westerners project their fears and hopes about the future.
Chinamaxxing shows no signs of slowing down. Our feeds are filled with videos of Chinese robots doing backflips, glittering metropolises, and TCM-inspired wellness tips. But do we really want to ‘become Chinese’, or are we just yearning for a different kind of future, as the old order collapses all around us? For @dazed I (@t.s.waite btw) explored the Sinofuturist slant of the western imagination in 2026, via IShowSpeed, dancing supercars, the CCRU and @lawrencelek. Meanwhile, @sp.mcc presents the trend’s mirror image via deep research on the Nu China rap scene. From faulty, selective readings of each other’s cultures emerge strange new possibilities.
Thanks to Amy Ireland and Vincent Garton (both contributors to @urbanomicdotcom’s incredible Machine Decision Is Not Final) for expansive and generous conversations on the west’s current obsession with China’s past, present, and future.

In March 2023, me and @tiiarna interviewed for the same @Dazed internship. Two years later, almost exactly, our first cover stories with @fakemink and @oklou_ dropped on the same day. Interns making moves 🤝
Big love to everyone in the office and particularly @ted_stansfield @dominiquesisley and @akbpeters for giving us a chance 🥲
