Ep. 162: Should Asian Americans Care About China's Media Image? (ft. Kaiser Kuo)

We're honored to have Kaiser Kuo (Sinica podcast, Supchina, Chinese Metal pioneer) join Jess and Teen to talk about the extent to which the media's portrayal of China is a relevant political issue affecting the lives of Asian Americans. Kaiser has a deep background in Chinese politics, especially with the way Western media covers it. With many seeking to place blame for the covid-19 pandemic, this could not be a more urgent issue. Many thanks to Kaiser for jumping on.
