The Corridor

Tech regulation across the US, China, and the Gulf — introducing The Corridor


Most entrepreneurs and creators spend years circling the thing they're actually meant to do. Not for lack of talent — the thing you know better than almost anyone sits so close to you that you mistake it for ordinary.

That was eighteen years for me.

As many of you know, I'm a tech and data lawyer in Dubai. My work sits where the US, China, and the Gulf meet: privacy law, trade controls, AI regulation. I've spent my career inside that intersection, and most of it writing publicly about everything except that.

So here's what I'm building, plainly.

The Corridor — written analysis on the technology and the rules shaping how the US, China, and the Gulf do business with each other. Read from the primary sources, not the headlines. Who's accountable when the software fails. What a compliance deadline actually requires. What it costs you.

A live example, and the subject of my latest video: Chinese EVs now outsell Tesla in Dubai's EV segment. The interesting part isn't automotive, it's regulatory. The UAE applies no additional tariff on Chinese vehicles. The US applies 100%. Same product, two markets, and the rules — not the engineering — produce the gap.

That's the lens: technology as the subject, regulation as the lens, your wallet as the landing.
