In Episode 279 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Kaiser Kuo. Kaiser is the host and co-founder of the Sinica Podcast, the editor-at-large of The China Project, and the former director of international communications for Baidu, China's leading search engine.

How does China see the world? What do we get wrong when talking about China? What are the central diving forces in Chinese politics? And what "does China want?"

While concrete answers to such complex social and political questions are illusive, grappling with them is essential if we want to find a peaceful way through what is becoming an increasingly dangerous period in US-China relations.

The goal of this conversation is to provide you with a more circumspect and culturally informed perspective on China. You will learn about the country's history, the lived experience of its people, their assumptions, values, and beliefs about the world and their place in it, and to learn to see ourselves and the world from China's eyes.
