illuminating, though meandering

“As a non-Chinese, it’s hard to know what’s missing from this series, but on the whole it was pretty illuminating of Xi’s possible motivations.
The Uighur piece was accurate, and their suffering, and the suffering of others in China, is tragic. However, it’s also well covered elsewhere. It probably would have been more useful to spend that time digging into more of the context in which Xi operates - what do we know about how the party works, for example?
Perhaps that would have required more time than was available, but I ended the series feeling like the author had relied a little too much on a few of the standard journalistic narratives (and recordings from Iowa) when there were big information gaps that needed filling.
It’s a pity the author is leaving the China beat as I’d love to read on as she filled some of these gaps in the economist magazine (now is a great time to subscribe).”

“This podcast series is riveting. It is so well researched and taps into amazing subject matter experts and journalists. But it also draws you in with such a deft storytelling about this man that anyone living in this age should make it their business to learn about.”
