A New Narrative on Covid, Relationships in the Pacific, mRNA Vaccines as a Red Herring, Pressuring Western Business and Censoring Chinese Business
Sharp China with Bill Bishop - Ein Podcast von Andrew Sharp and Bill Bishop
On this week's show Andrew and Bill begin with the passing of Jiang Zemin and an overview of the abrupt shift in covid messaging in cities across China. Then mailbag questions, beginning with a listener’s request for context on China's relationships with Japan, Vietnam, Korea and Australia. From there: America’s non-chip interests in Taiwan, whether continued unemployment among college grads will lead to more protests, and why the focus on mRNA vaccines is beside the point with reopening looming. At the end: How China might force Western businesses to compromise their values, the various layers of domestic censorship, and the third host (Tashi) joins to discuss the latest adventures of Zhao Lijan.
