  • Informative and entertaining podcast for an American like me getting prepared to visit China!

    I’ll be visiting China from the US in a month and this podcast has helped ease anxieties and brought more understanding to the culture for me. I would love an episode on other ways a foreigner can get prepared to go to China - such as misconceptions about unlawful arrests (misinformation spread online makes China seem dangerous), medications we can or should bring, to use a VPN or not, any adjustments you had to make when going to China, etc. Thanks again!
