Dissident at the Doorstep

Crooked Media

What happens when someone becomes a human-rights icon – but then turns out to stand for something else entirely? Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng was locked up for fighting against China’s One Child Policy and suffered years of unlawful imprisonment. In 2012, following a daring midnight escape, he landed in the United States a hero. But that’s only the beginning of his story. Just a few years late... more

  • Stick to the story

    If they just stuck to the facts without all the Trump fear mongering it would have been a good podcast.

  • Truth is just too ugly to reveal

    As a person who is very close to the Chinese dissidents, I witnessed the entire circle gone MAGA. Still, I was too naive to assume this story will at least reveal some problematic facts of the Chinese dissidents.

The communist government. The left is nothing more than a communist Chinese government parading around in the US making podcasts about heroes who aren’t actually heroes because they ... more

  • Intriguing

    Draws together many voices and perspectives. Ignore the axe grinding one star reviews. People triggered by not having their opinions reflected back at them. Try a little harder . . . You don't owe your minds to anyone.

  • Interesting

    I guess I was hoping for a little more at the end. But it was an interesting story of his journey, and seeming duality of his pursuits.
