In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu assesses the decisions made by and the personnel changes of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee during its Fifth Plenum last week. Next, he discusses the silencing of French star soccer player Kylian Mbappé over his laughing at a meme where he is depicted as Chairman Mao, whom he vaguely referred to as a "dictator." Lastly, he gives his thoughts on recent 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.
