“The presentation needs work. Bonnie needs to work on sounding less like she is reading. I find it distracting.”

“This was an interesting and thoughtful discussion of what the US, China and Taiwan should do in order to avoid a conflict across the Taiwan Straits
What we need to hear next is how should the US and Taiwan respond to “uses of force“ by China that fall short of outright military invasion.
What...”Read full review »

“Bonnie lays out these excellent interviews in a way that is understandable for the lay person. She is a highly skilled interviewer and makes even complex topics very approachable. The discussions are fair and balanced as well. Highly recommend!”

“Podcaster Bonnie seems to live in fear if any of her guests were to say China has a edge on any of the technologies or any other subject matter, it’s too pathetically obvious. Sadly a case of another wannabe white trying too hard to curry favour in the West”

“The discussant, Caitlin Chin, gave an unabashed promotion of the app without even mentioning the report that ByteDance the parent company has admitted to several of its employees accessing private data on American journalists and downplaying the state control nature of ByteDance. Instead she...”Read full review »

“Bonny Lin is not smart enough to keep up with her guests. She has amazing guests on, but asks simple and redundant questions. Have a strong grasp of the material. I suggest she do more research before her interviews.”

“The host of this is a wooden statue, obviously speaking from a script with scripted questions and an overall very dry listening experience. All the “experts” now are bought and paid for shills of the CCP. Skip this.”

“Listened to an interview regarding China and the person being interviewed spewed every western propaganda talking point with zero pushback or comparisons to America’s behavior. Very unserious and biased.”

“I’ve listened to this pod for a year years, and it seems as if the show is stil written by the same person, but now the intros and questions are read by a lower-paid intern. It now sounds much more like a low-effort production and I’ve chosen to unsubscribe. Thanks for the years of good content...”Read full review »

“The podcast has poor audio. The speakers are highly qualified experts. The problem is that the podcast isn’t a conversation between a host and the expert. It is instead a series of experts reading from their work sometimes too quickly. There are no follow-up questions. This podcast is put...”Read full review »

“So sad that you lacked the moral courage to ask any really tough questions. For example, “why did you allow people to travel, infected, from Wuhan to countries around the world”. If they handled the virus so well why did this happen? Why, if handled so well, did they not allow anyone in the view...”Read full review »

“Granted part of the awkwardness with interviews is bc they’re now all over Zoom but it really does seem like all of the questions are sent to the interviewee in advance and they just read off a script for the duration of the episode. There are benefits such as being able to draw on direct quotes...”Read full review »
