  • Strangely Servile to Trump

    Miles is a sad example of a brilliant person who’s strange slavishness to Trump makes him no more than a tedious, rationalizing quack.

  • Highly Recommend

    Hands down, this is the best podcast on the current state of China out there. I rarely miss an episode. Miles has a deep understanding of the CCP and how it operates, with his overriding concern being for the wellbeing of the people of China and of the world. He communicates his thoughts in an interesting, clear, and elegant way.
