In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu observes the thirty-seventh anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. He discusses how families of the victims plan to honor their loved ones, both in mainland China and abroad, despite Chinese Communist Party censorship. Next, Miles reports on China’s continued economic woes as growth rates have declined over the past few months, and assesses renewed calls for CCP intervention to stimulate the economy and address increasing concerns. Finally, he reviews an investigative report stemming from a whistleblower disclosure of non-public foreign funding to Stanford University from Chinese state-backed entities, and comments on the extent of Chinese influence in American academia.
