In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu covers the recent escalation in trade tensions between the US and Canada over transshipment concerns, and China’s pivotal role impacting the bilateral dynamic. Next, Miles looks at how a seemingly innocuous animated movie release in China went from complete relegation to viral sensation, rivaling performances of other global cinema releases including The Odyssey. Finally, Miles unpacks a recent conviction handed down by the Hong Kong High Court, under the new national security law, for two activists over organized vigils related to the Tiananmen Massacre.
