  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Politics and Business of Climate Change in the US-China Race, a Conversation with Kate McKenzie
Q: How do domestic politics influence international climate negotiations?
Domestic power interests, industry lobbying, and political goals determine negotiating stances and which climate policies are prioritized on the global stage.
The Politics and Business of Climate Change in the US-China Race, a Conversation with Kate McKenzie
Q: What are the main forces shaping energy transition in the US-China context?
The US leans on fossil-fuel diplomacy and LNG while attempting to maintain energy security; China is leveraging domestic competition and rapid scaling of clean tech to become a global energy player, with policy tools that create ecosystem advantages for EVs and renewables.
The Politics and Business of Climate Change in the US-China Race, a Conversation with Kate McKenzie
Q: Just to start, can you explain or define for our listeners what the political economy of climate change means and why it matters?
It's about looking beyond emissions to understand power dynamics, financial arrangements, and how policies affect different communities; climate action intersects with debt, development, and internal politics, shaping who benefits or loses from transitions.
Writing about Science and US-China Relations with Yangyang Cheng
Q: Can you talk about the idea that there is no apolitical stance in scholarly work and what that means for researchers in politically sensitive fields?
Yangyang explains that all inquiry is embedded in social and political contexts, and choosing silence is itself a political act; researchers should acknowledge influence and responsibility rather than pretend neutrality.
The Wall Dancers, a Conversation with Journalist and Author Yi-Ling Liu
Q: Have your perceptions about censorship changed throughout your reporting?
I am less hopeful than when I began writing this book in 2019, recognizing that technology does not inherently equal freedom.
