“This is a fantastic primer on China's history, understanding the relationship between the China Communist Party ("#CCP") and China's government (something people have a hard time grasping), and China's dictator, Xi.
China is and has been America's most significant geopolitical threat in the 21st Century, and the objectivity, professionalism, and quality of this podcast series are especially surprising, considering this is from a left-leaning legacy media outlet, but as Sue discusses in the podcast, this is no longer a partisan issue.
