“I’ve been listening to Sinica for several years, mostly while taking long walks in my neighborhood. Kaiser Kuo makes the time sail by with thought-provoking discussions and interviews with a wide variety of guests who are true experts on China and U.S.-China relations. He approaches China...”Read full review »

“Update on my previous review - welcome back Kaiser, a victory for free, independent analysis and reportage. Long may you keep going!
This is an excellent podcast, informative and balanced. The recent interview with Xu Xueyuan was fascinating, and very skilfully conducted, but beyond that,...”Read full review »

“Nice podcast that provide some much needed non-American centric views with regards to foreign affairs, if not all that in depth. However, the host could use some training in interviewing and speaking. Too much mumbling and rambling with a proclivity to cut off the guests at random that disrupts...”Read full review »

“Hong Kong S.A.R. China one country 2 system and it’s engagement in East West tussle, rather than where East meets West. The November elections and the anticipated escalating of anti China rhetoric.”

“Great news to hear about your return after what was feared to be a permanent hiatus. As someone who’s lived in Chengdu since 2010, you’ve been an invaluable resource to help me build a clearer picture of the society in which I live. I’m feeling relieved. Thanks!”

“This show doesn’t try to give a critical, even-handed view of events. Very pro China. I remember he had a guest on that write a critical report(“US Taiwan relations in new era”)of the us foreign policy(nothing wrong that). He asked the guest to give their overall view of who was at fault for...”Read full review »

“The recent Sinica podcast episode on Xiong’an, China’s designer city, fascinated me. Although China probably won’t produce the flying cars we had all hoped for after watching the The Jetsons, a TV show beloved by Boomer kids, maybe China can build a low pollution, high tech city where traffic...”Read full review »

“Enjoyed most of the guests on the show with few exceptions - the few with extreme views who, IMHO, doesn’t fit the show’s mantra that promotes nuanced discussions on China. Those who stands out are current U.S. or Chinese government officials and hacks such as Kishore Mahbubani. With these guests...”Read full review »

“The podcast increasingly sounds like a CCP mouthpiece. Shame because it used to be more fair and balanced. If you follow the host on Twitter you will see him parroting every single CCP line. It’s a tragedy because, again, this used to be a balanced podcast.”

“This is terrific.

“I learned loads of things from this podcast and really like their narrative, as they try to be as objective as possible, and covers a lot of info that you can’t really get unless you dive deep into the Chinese politics and culture. One of my favorite podcasts so far!”

One insight regarding the CC Party is that over recent years the internationalists are gone or were not promoted. So, there are...”Read full review »

“The interviews can be echo chambers in which the problems of the world (ie.

The speakers do use CCP talking points (esp what-about-ism)...”Read full review »
