Topic 1: Skimpflation: Will this affect us?

Aside from basic inflation, will the labor shortage cause this for IT services?

Topic 2: China’s Privacy Law

China's new policy looks "western" at first, but is used for strick tracking of citizens. The Personal Information Protection Law allows the government to blacklist companies, including those outside the country. Will companies go along or opt out of the largest market in the world?

Do providers really care?
