Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Welcome to the Seneca Podcast, the 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 Kazu Guo, accommodation today from the lovely town of Sha Si in southwest China's Vinan province. Where I'm almost three weeks now into a month long musical retreat. with other members of my band Trincio Spring and Autumn, which reformed in the spring of this year. Uh we are here working on Material for a new album which we anticipate we'll record later this year and hopefully release early next year.

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 Cynical Podcast will remain free, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I'm doing with Podcast, please consider lending your support.
