Understanding China - Part 1 of 536: The Two Sessions
Episode description
In this first episode of what could well be an endless series, resident China experts Helen and John walk us through China Politics 101 following a robust discussion of the proposed TikTok divestment bill in the US Congress.
The episode draws its name from two 'sessions' taking place earlier in March: the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress.
