What are you reading / listening to about China?

Not sure there is an existing thread this could go in, but The Economist recently released this mini-series about Xi Jinping. Episode 4 tells a very similar story to Hong Kong. Last episode is about covid, which when listening, really reaffirms my decision to leave Hong Kong.

Sue-Lin Wong was kicked out of Hong Kong recently, which she briefly talks about.

These two failed (but highly capable) political actors talk about China in their latest podcast.

One is from the right of his party and the other from the left of his so probably overlap a lot in a broad middle area. No shock or noise for clicks or pandering to the excitable just a discussion.

I disagree

I agree but that "not yet" may not be too long. Depends how badly things go at home, the worse the sooner.
