“I was walking on my way home on 54TH street Manhattan New York. One of my favorite things is to take a longer route and listen to this podcast. Two years ago I was in Shanghai China witnessing the lockdown and the three years of pandemic. China has become a happy memory where I can never go back...”Read full review »

“Sad to heard:
Pee have “loud voices” with more than often “not so loud actions”!
Like an old chinese saying:
“Barking dogs don’t bite”
Wishing to those with”loud” actions success!”

“An objective look at one of the most important people on the planet. This really helped me understand the basics of who Xi is and what drives him. A very different person to other big leaders, and clearly a person that will influence world history for better and worse. I love the personal...”Read full review »

“This podcast series perfectly describes China’s development over the past 20 years. From the gradually increased freedoms, pride and optimism towards the Olympics to the return of autocratic iron fist by the Communist Party under Xi. I think the Chinese people deserve and can handle freedom...”Read full review »

“It’s well done in terms of production but naive, biased and mediocre for its content. It presents a slant and agenda and doesn’t even bother to set up a straw man opposition to knock down. If I produced an essay like this when I was in school, I would have failed for lack of critical analysis....”Read full review »

“I consume fairly a large quantity of podcasts from very reputed sources in English and I would rank ‘The Prince’ one of the very best. It distills a lot of information and presents the essence for a layperson to understand. The host is critical and equanimous.
Thanks”

“To that one review that correct the pronunciation….
It really is NOT like “she”. It’s more like “Sea” if any.
It’s a sound where you bite down and stretch your lips, and not perk your lips as “sh”
Source: speaks mandarin all my life…🙃
Otherwise: nice insight and perspective. I wouldn’t say this...”Read full review »

“A multifaceted examination of how Xi came to believe the things that he does about the world and about how to lead - have recommended the series to so many people that i feel like an unpaid PR person for the pod. (Seriously though, give it a listen)”

“this is such a great podcast, very informative especially since I grew up in China but know very little about Chinese politics. Please do a season 2 on maybe a former president, someone high up in the Xi administration, or maybe dissect an aspect of Chinese politics!”

“Is China on the right track? No.
Are the children of the current generation going to have better life? No.
When will changes happen? During change of leadership, and we do not China’s next leader any time soon. So no hope till at least Xi died or CCP collapse like the Soviet Union.”
