From the team that brought you the satirical TV news show China Uncensored comes a...well...less scripted look at China. Chris Chappell and his team are off the teleprompter and on the mic to interview China experts, or discuss the issues of the day. And frankly, anything else they feel like discussing.

Why are all new segments so short now? I miss the old China Unscripted. Please reconsider bringing the long form episodes back!
This used to be one of the great China commentary podcasts (and the back catalogue still is). The combination of humour with the geopolitics of China and interesting guests is a perfect match to explore the behaviour of one of the pivotal actors in the world today.
It is sad that the show chose to became paywalled. I understand the rationale for the decision, but in the current media environment, where every single producer has their own paywall, be it an in-house solution like China Unscripte... more

What happened to new episodes?
Some good reporting, but the knee jerk reaction to everything the PRC government and CCP do is simplistic. No system is totally bad or good. Just as it’s false to claim that everything in China is good, ignoring the positives in Communist China means that when this podcast legitimately criticises things, it doesn’t have a lot of credibility. This, after all, is just the reverse of what it accuses the Chinese press of doing.
Gets a little rambly sometimes, but overall informative and entertaining. Best when they interview people. Chris is funnier when he writes jokes into the script, i.e. China Uncensored.
