Dongfang Hour
Few industries are as complex as space, and few countries are as complex as China.
Sitting at the intersection of these two megatrends, Dongfang Hour is a channel that aims at bringing a balanced, holistic content, with a touch of entertainment and humour.
Who is behind the Dongfang Hour?
Dongfang Hour is a part-time project by Blaine Curcio and Jean Deville, a consultant/entrepreneur and an aerospace engineer. We're both space enthusiasts and familiar with Chinese culture and the Chinese business ecosystem (with a combined 20 years spent in the country!). Jean mostly handles the YouTube channel, aimed at an audience of space enthusiasts, while Blaine caters for industry executives with the newsletter.
