A Different Perspective On China

from Not To Get Political · host The Champagne Socialist

In this episode, with Brian Renwick (a.k.a Wan Lik Hang), a self-confessed China enthusiast and author of The Reasonable Man Blog, we explore deeply Chinese culture and identity.  Amidst pervasive Western portrayals that depict China as an authoritarian nightmare reminiscent of an Orwellian dystopia, Brian presents a more balanced perspective on the Chinese way of life, their views, government, moral compass, and value system. Through this enlightening conversation, Brian invites us to understand how the fundamental aspects of the Chinese people are conducive to, and benefit from, a style of governance such as Xi Jinping's.Brian raises stimulating questions encouraging you to examine your preconceived notions and expand your cognitive horizons.  With the dire state of Western democracies, what can we look to learn from Asia? With deep economic co-dependence, how can the Chinese style of government and Western democracy coexist harmoniously? As you immerse yourself in this thought-provoking episode, prepare to re-examine your thinking.
