“China bad. America good.
China steals secrets and lies and is ruled by a maniacal dictator. US is the golden light that protects and shines on the world. I used to listen and he had good guests.
Now it’s mostly government hacks.”

“I think Jordan is brilliant. He has a wide variety of excellent guests. No, not all episodes are about China. I don’t care. YES, host has biases, and his guests have biases. EVERYONE has biases. I enjoy the host’s unique style and his humor.”

“Jordan covers China from angles I haven’t found in other podcasts, and his passion and sincerity are contagious. His interests are many and his questions are thoughtful. I appreciate Jordan’s ability to have hard-nosed policy discussions without being a perma-hawk and while retaining some sense...”Read full review »

“I’ve been studying China since 2001 so I’ve heard a lot of China-related discussions many times before, but Jordan’s is always fresh & teaching me something I didn’t know & am glad I learned. It also often breaks new ground, especially on tech related issues.
Incredibly engaging, relaxed...”Read full review »

“A good show, especially if you are in the US-China space. Heavy emphasis on the US, not shocking. Personally, I preferred the show in its nascent stage. I still listen, from time-to-time.”

“The last few guests, barring the Chip Avengers, AI and S&T guys, have sounded like daytime TV. Remember when some former spy or military uniform would make the rounds on CNN, Fox et al, and claim that secret intelligence or anonymous sources told him a war with country X was inevitable?...”Read full review »

“Like the SRB Podcast (on Russia), this gives indispensable insights into a culture that too many of us are unfamiliar with. Hugely enjoyable. Unfortunately, it sometimes falls prey to the fallacy that if you’re not aware of something then you assume no-one else is. The almost hysterical China...”Read full review »

“It used to be great and informative…. but for the last 1.5-2 years the podcast went full on war-mongering and nothing constructive coming out of here. It’s unfortunate really because I think the world only has voices instigating war and nothing good will come out of this. Sad but that’s reality...”Read full review »

It’s easy to hear Jordan’s love of China. I appreciate the wide range of topics he hits on from the arts to economics to lifestyle, and the ever present political side.”

“I really try to give this show a chance, but it seldom delivers. It’s mostly US policy and how it might or sort of connect and layover with China. Also, the guests seems to be mostly his friends and buddies from Rodium Group. The editing and questions makes the show flow really awkward as well....”Read full review »

Jordan’s insecurity about his radio voice is very endearing, especially considering he never speaks any Chinese on the show. Makes me wonder how his tones are…”

Jordan is steady slaying it with content on...”Read full review »
