Ep. 698: Is China Too Cheap? (ft. Han Feizi) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Teen talks with Han Feizi (pen name: https://asiatimes.com/author/han-feizi/ ) about the 内卷 (nei juan, or involution), why Chinese are super-productive but financially poor, and whether online China-glazing overlooks the real pain and struggle of Chinese workers who still earn terrible wages. This was a recorded Twitter space. A portion of the original audio of a listener call-in was removed due to it straying well off the main topic. Follow Han at https://x.com/Bluebearmonkey
Ep. 695: Back in Canada, Back in the Old World (ft. Steve) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Steve joins Teen during his summer trip back to his home city of Toronto, away from the grind of Hong Kong and Greater China, and talks about what he misses about North America, why expatriating to China is the right choice, and a deep dive into the looming Japanese financial crisis and what it reveals about the global monetary system (hint: it's good to be American).
