Seldom relevant, mostly US policy
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. It’s mostly a China fan boy show, fails to talk about the systemic failure of US policy post the Nixon visit. Jordan speaks with a glee in his voice which their is nothing gleeful about current status of US and China relations, with our “experts” assuming the best intentions with a mindset “they will be more like us eventually”. Skip the episode about Eve online and how it’s somehow relevant to policy decision. It was the biggest load of nonsense, just Jordan’s buddies trying to shoehorn their favorite video game as it relates to China policy but completely failed, was nothing but a Eve online fanboy.

I should’ve rated this podcast earlier. Thanks for this Jordan, the best podcast for anyone truly interested in understanding China. Thanks again, this is an inestimable resource.

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.
