In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu assesses the decisions and personnel changes the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee made during its Fifth Plenum last week. Next, he discusses the silencing of French star soccer player Kylian Mbappé after he laughed at a meme that depicts him as Chairman Mao, whom he vaguely referred to as a “dictator.” Lastly, Miles gives his thoughts on elections in the United States, Hungary, Serbia, and elsewhere, the greater meaning behind these elections, and what their results may have in store for future China policy around the world.
China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute’s China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world’s future.
