China’s WW2 Hubris│Tibet’s Grand Canyon is the World’s Deepest (19k ft! Dam!)
(If you're wondering what the "dam" is about, or why it's mispelt (it's not), just listen...)
After a short intro, we jump into the first headline of the week: China Celebrates 80th Anniversary of Defeat of Japan and End of WW2 (1:16). Next, we jump right into China’s 60th Anniversary celebration of subjugating Tibet (12:01), followed by a look at the “run-of-the-river” dam being built in Tibet along a stretch of the river that flows through the world’s deepest canyon (16:51). Finally, today’s show ends with an extended interview with my buddy Jake, who tells some stories after working with us in China a little more than a decade ago.(22:51).
