This week's guest is Manya Koetse. Manya is a sinologist & japanologist from Amsterdam and the founder & editor-in-chief of What’s on Weibo, which is an independent blog that sheds light on trends in China by closely following its social media, the latest digital developments and changing media landscape. Among the trending topics we discussed as we recorded last week are the results of the 19th National Party Congress, especially the end of term limits for the President; the visit of Kim Jong-Un to Beijing, and what the Sino-NK diplomatic thaw means for US-China relations; and the so-called “Halalification” of China, among others. Good show! Check it out!
