New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to China Decode, I'm Alice Han. On today's special edition of China Decode, we are marking the lunar new year as China enters the year of the firehorse.

Today we're joined by writer and commentator Li Jia Jang to help us break it all down. Li Jia, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Let's get right into it.
