In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu unpacks the historical ties between the Chinese Communist Party and Harvard, and the broader implications of CCP influence in United States’ academia. Second, we revisit the origins of COVID-19 and statements by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs that claim the West is over-politicizing the issue. Lastly, Miles lends his perspective on the Wage Marchers movement gaining traction across China, and the history of public dissent and protests in the People’s Republic of China.

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.
