Thanks to Jane Perlez and the FaceOff team for season three of this podcast.
Already some great insights into developments and potential directions in the US/China space, a space that is currently more dynamic than in any other time.

Zhou Bo (Season 3 Episode 2) as always is a useful voice for providing clarit... more
This is an interesting podcast for those interested in China and especially its relationship with the USA. The presenter regularly makes clear her low opinion of Donald J Trump, sometimes it is superfluous. Even Biden/Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan seems to take a more nuanced view. Given the presenter is supposed to be a journalistic expert voice on China she regularly appears amazed to learn new things about it from Rana Mitter. The guests make the show worthwhile.
I love listening to Jane as she asks all the right questions about China and its ever more powerful role in the world
I loved the episode on generational burnout - I learned so much about another culture, its similarities with millennials in the US and the universal problems facing every young person right now.
Jane asks some incredible and tough questions, always getting to the bottom of what the listener wants, and needs, to hear!
This is a great show on a topic I hadn’t actively sought out info on beforehand. Thank you!!
