| JACKSON HOLE, CHINA - BORN IN THE PRC |


Nestled between snow-capped mountains there is an American wild west town called Jackson Hole, where the 1% ski in the winter and talk tech in the summer. Gorgeous wooden architecture, decor studded with antlers and leather accents, live \\u201ccowboy\\u201d shows, even a potato club. But the Jackson Hole we\\u2019re talking about isn\\u2019t the American wild west... it\\u2019s actually in China. Just two hours north of Beijing. What Neil and Andres want to know is WHY???


We\\u2019re going to journey to Jackson Hole, China and find out what it is about the wild west that the Chinese elite can\\u2019t get enough of, and why that led them to build this facsimile of an American town. We\\u2019ll talk to the Chinese real estate mogul and the American designer who built it. Plus, what\\u2019s the Chinese obsession with copying everything American anyway? And how did they end up with something called \\u201cTuna Jello\\u201d.
