  • Good episode

    Having lived and taught in China this episode was cool to hear. I’m very patriotic to my country (US) coming from a military family but I absolutely loved my time in China and adore the people….

  • High Quality Info

    I got interested in China watching when I began working for a company based in Hong Kong with factories in China. Before my first trip there I read a few books, watched some videos, but stumbling on this podcast was the best help. For someone doing business there, listening to the back catalogue really helped me understand how China works and the “feel” of the place, as well as better assess trade and geopolitical risks in the region. Always high quality, interesting content.
