"The China Debate We're Not Having" | Part 1: What China Wants

Welcome to the Cineca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week. for in-depth conversations that shed more light and bring less heat to how we think and talk about China. I'm Kaiser Guo coming to you this week from Hong Kong.

Seneca is supported this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a National Resource Center for the Study of East Asia. The Seneca podcast is and will remain free, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I'm doing with the show and with my newsletter, please consider lending your support. I'm still looking for new institutional support and the lines are as always open. You can reach me at cinecapod at gmail.com. And listeners, please support my work by becoming a paying subscriber at cinecapodcast.com.

Seriously, help me out. I know there are a lot of Substacks out there and they start to add up. I subscribe to many of them myself, but I really think this one delivers serious value for your hard-earned dollar, so please do subscribe. and help me to continue bringing you these conversations. I am on the road this week, as I said, down in Hong Kong, uh giving a couple of talks and attending a conference.
