  Reporting From a Rising China – Edward Wong

  Dec 31, 20222h 22mS2

  <p>Western media presence in China has been vastly reduced since February 2020, the consequence both of political tensions and the Covid-19 pandemic. As the Chinese government finally begins to dismantle its "zero-Covid" policy in December 2022, the prospect of Western journalists returning to on-the-ground reporting from China appears more promising than it has in years. In this episode, Neysun Mahboubi discusses with Edward Wong, who reported from China for The New York Times from 2008-2016 and served as Beijing bureau chief, the narrative-defining stories he covered in those years, which so much have shaped the present moment in China's governance and...

  U.S. Human Rights Policy Towards China – Amy Gadsden

  Apr 8, 20221h 55mS2

  While the Chinese government's actions in Xinjiang and Hong Kong lately have been the subject of particular scrutiny from U.S. policymakers, systematic attention to China's human rights practices, more broadly, has been a consistent feature of U.S. policy towards China in recent decades, through successive Democratic and Republican administrations. In this episode, Neysun Mahboubi discusses with Amy Gadsden, a leading expert on human rights in China, the background to why human rights came to be such a major factor in U.S.-China relations, and how this portfolio of issues does (and should) relate to other policy considerations...

  China's Overseas NGO Law – Mark Sidel

  Dec 15, 20212h 8mS2

  <p>In recent years, and especially under the administration of Xi Jinping, the Chinese government has "securitized" all manner of relationships between its citizens and outsiders. An important marker of this trend, which continues to generate intense concern, was the 2016 passage of the Overseas NGO Law, a new legal framework for managing the domestic Chinese operations of nonprofit and educational institutions based abroad. In this episode, Neysun Mahboubi discusses with Mark Sidel, one of the preeminent authorities on the nonprofit sector and philanthropy in China, why and how the Overseas NGO Law was drafted, and how to situate the law...

  Nov 15, 20201h 22mS2

  <p>No foreign policy topic currently garners more attention in the United States than its relationship with China, especially in light of China's rise over the past few decades as an economic, technological, military, and strategic power and rival.  In this episode, Neysun Mahboubi discusses with Yan Xuetong, one of China's leading experts on international relations, how China's rise, and its ever more complex and fraught relationship with the United States, look from a domestic Chinese perspective, and through the lens of Professor Yan's distinctive work on IR theory.  The episode was recorded on April 20, 2019.</p> <p>Yan Xuetong is De...
