Should We Judge China Through A Western Lens?

Hey Laowinners!

Our first Live Podcast was a success! In case you missed it, here it is. https://youtu.be/yHM1Zi8YwjI

In this episode we talked about the hypocrisy of Chinese soft power vs. reality in China, and how the Chinese government and hyper nationalists are using freedom speech and western media outlets to promote a government that doesn't allow such freedoms. It's a very interesting watch, and the show has multiple segments, so I hope you enjoyed it! Shoutout to the Patreon that volunteered his relationship question to Guanxi corner!

A big shoutout to DM, who ran the show without a hitch (other than some focus issues) after we spent weeks setting everything up. He's enjoying life from his tower.

In today's early release, we talk about whether or not it is right to judge China from a western lens or not, because we have been criticized for not using a mainland Chinese viewpoint to look at life and society in China.

The be all and end all is that it's nearly impossible to judge something without bias, but there is nothing wrong with using 2 perspectives to try and analyze why and how something works. Hope you guys find it interesting.
