China Insider Podcast Miles Yu

Hosts Miles Yu and Wilson Shirley discuss a new cadre of "agricultural management officers" targeting Chinese farmers, what a recent report from Reporters Without Borders says about the state of press freedom in the People's Republic, Beijing's heavy-handed attempts at diplomacy during last week's meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the coronation of King Charles III.

On multiple fronts—from ideology to the economy, to the military, to technology—the Chinese Communist Party presents the United States and its allies and partners with their most serious threat since the Cold War—maybe since World War II. What does the emerging consensus about the China challenge get right, and what is it missing? And what will it take to compete to win?

China Insider is a weekly podcast project from 91ÆÞÓÑ Institute's China Center, hosted by Miles Yu and Wilson Shirley, who provide weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world’s future. To receive China Insider directly to your inbox, subscribe here.
