Bamboo Bias?
I’ve listened to this show and appreciate a different viewpoint. My listen to the episode “Why does China have blackouts?” really left me disappointed and wondering how much of my consumption of this content will leave me strongly to one side of the bias: Early in the podcast when discussing the shortage, the conversation specifically detours to talking points that favor a blameless narrative, that is: weather events, alternative energy, and a global crunch for coal. I would forgive you if you lapped that right up… climate change du jour. In real life we know that CCP governance has designed price point restrictions to keep coal derived energy prices from rising (following market rates for coal), and we’re aware of self inflicted shortages such as that with the Australian suppliers, who’s government dared to question China’s role in the COVID outbreak. Facts show that the gradual decrease of coal stockpiles over the last year, which broke the back of these gamblers at the helm of the CCP, has cost the Chinese people in the end because despite how constant that energy bill is, the lights aren’t on. It should be known to investors that this is the real situation and it poses a threat if CCP continue to manage their energy markets and foreign affairs jn such ways.

I loved some of the episodes which addressed the rural sectors of China, as I find many podcasts focussing on China were solely discussing...Read full review »
