Cultural Appropriation in K-pop and Mando-pop

Recorded Thursday, July 16, 2020.

Journalist Chen Caiwei joins me today on the show to discuss everything from learning another language, dating and matching with people on Tinder (and how bad conversational techniques are used to learn a language), music and culture both in China and abroad, and life as a student overseas and a lot more!

I’ll let you read through the show notes to see some of the topics we cover and the conversation does get intense at times. It’s not just debate, Caiwei provides some perspectives on modern Chinese culture and good information for Chinese students who are living overseas who might be feeling a little bit alienated in their new surroundings.
