Welcome to this special live edition of the Seneca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. I'm Kai Jiguo and I am coming to you today from the University of Pittsburgh. Hello, Pitt! All right, that's what I like to hear. Uh great, great to be here, and thanks so much for making me feel so welcome.

Uh we had a a great turnout for my talk yesterday at Carnegie Mellon and I am just I'm thrilled that so many p familiar faces from yesterday are still here. Uh we had great questions then. Hopefully we'll get some great questions today as well. Uh special thanks to Jim Cook, James, uh, for this opportunity.

It's just been great to see you again after 30, well, 30, whatever years. Don't want to date myself here. 35 years. In this program, as regular listeners will know, we look at books, at ideas, at new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, its foreign relations, economics, and society.
