23 Ways You're Already Living in the Chinese Century (WIRED) + Canada/Britain Granted Visa Free Access to China [China Compass]

February 21
59 mins

Episode Description

On this week’s China Compass, after looking at China’s newly opened (visa-free) door to Canadian and British nationals, as well as a personal admonition to visit China, we work through what might as well be a Chinese propaganda article from Wired.com, listing 23 ways we are (supposedly) already living in the Chinese century. I sure do hope they got most of these wrong!
