Welcome to the Cineca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program we'll 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 Gua coming to you from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
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.

Paul French's Ultimate China bookshelf, Andrew Methfin's Seneca Chinese Phrase of the Week, and more. Make sure to check out the latest series from our friends at Johns Hopkins SIS, Studying China in the Absence of Access, which will run as a podcast across the next few months. I think most of us who live in or near a city of any size in the West have seeing the massive billboards, the leaflets and the flyers, the the mailed brochures. I got one the other day, the posters in the windows of Chinese restaurants, usually on a purple background featuring a leaping dancer dressed in traditional Chinese garb, advertising for a performance called Shenyin.
