  • New, authentic voice in US-China relations

    US-China relations, identity, and culture through the lens of millennial Chinese and Chinese Americans who are deeply connected to both countries. I lived in China for a year and saw firsthand such a vibrant country you don’t see in the mainstream news. As an Asian American millennial myself, I am deeply connected to both the US and my “motherland”. This podcast brings that deep, honest, and complex perspective the world really needs ❤️

  • Interesting podcast

    Despite being a little light on the feminism side, this podcast provided many interesting points of views. (I especially loved the first episode on news assistants. It is a must listen.) I wish they get more into feminism and gender analysis but as feminism is not as popular in China and with many of the guests not identifying as feminists, i guess it is understandable.

  • Very interesting new podcast

    I’m sure you ladies will face unending torrents of misogynistic abuse, and I’m sorry for that. Yet please do keep up the good work!
