Today we welcome special guest Lynette Ong. Ms. Ong is a professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, author, and China subject matter expert. As China's 20th Communist Party Congress continues, an event that happens once every five years, Ms. Ong breaks down President Xi Jinping’s key messages and the implications behind this historic congress. 

Ms. Ong talks to host Pamela Ritchie about China’s zero-covid policy, the state of the country’s economy, and relations between Taiwan and the West.  She adds that the east and the west economies are very intertwined, so fears of another Cold war might be too extreme because there's a lot of employment in the economic relationship between China and the West.
