Veritasium is undeniably successful on YouTube. However, due to political barriers, many potential scientists of the future in China cannot view this high-quality content on YouTube. This energy barrier, although significant, is not insurmountable. In this talk, I will be telling the story of how Chinese Veritasium has developed into one of the most popular science and technology channels on Bilibili, a video sharing platform in China. With over 200k subscribers and over 9M views, Veritasium is gaining significant traction in China and has demonstrated that accessible physics educational content can cross significant cultural and political barriers to reach anyone in the world.
