  • 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!

Patrick mentions that he chose Chongqing because he was looking for something different and had a personal connection there through a relationship.
The future of China's economy

The US economy is unbalanced, with wealth concentrated among the top households, leading to social tensions.
The future of China's economy
Q: Why do some economists focus their concern for Chinese economy on consumption?
Concerns reflect historical issues in income distribution and economic reforms, though many factors are at play.
A new era of global governance

Current international relations theories cannot think beyond revisionism and revolutionary; they misinterpret China's initiatives as a threat rather than a connection to the global order.
