Comments
I agree, something that came up though is that it's really difficult to get accurate sources from China, because the CCP distorts everything. I believe that was mentioned. Still it's pretty obvious they have a strong bias against China, so in absence of those accurate sources they seemed to assess things negatively. I felt that most when the question of the future of China was answered. Stringing together a bunch of examples of things you see as huge failures isn't exactly an objective macro economic forecast. Still it was a great podcast and they definetly has a lot interesting perspectives to share.
