#466 – Jeffrey Wasserstrom: China, Xi Jinping, Trade War, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mao

The following is a conversation with Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a historian of modern China. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got Oracle for Cloud Computing, Tax Network USA for taxes, Shopify for selling stuff online, Element for electrolytes and AG1 for a daily multivitamin.

Choose wise it, my friends. Let me make the public service announcement that I've done a few times about these ad reads. I do them on RSS, I do them on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, based on the feedback I've gotten in the uh survey, lexfriedman.com slash survey. Many enjoy it. A quick random nonsequitur insights into whatever is going on in this particular mind.

I don't do the ad reads in a normal way. Half the time I don't really even talk about the sponsor. I'm just talking about stuff that I'm thinking about. Except maybe for a bit of a shout out to the sponsor for being awesome. and a quick description of what they do.
