The Bridge

Nury Vittachi — veteran journalist, author, founder of the Asian Review of Books, and former assistant editor at the South China Morning Post and Far Eastern Economic Review — challenges Western narratives on Hong Kong and Taiwan, shares his expectations on Trump's visit and explains how a multipolar world is quietly emerging through trade and infrastructure.

We sit down with economist Dr. Warwick Powell to explore the rise of geopolitical "monsters." What dangers await as the new multipolar world takes shape? And why are nations increasingly cooperating to manage the decline of the U.S. dollar?

From stand-up comedy in Chinese and English to jazz, art installations, expos, cosplay conventions, symphony, and more—on any given night in Beijing, there’s so much happening that you could never even know it all. We ask Chinese comedian Alex Shi: what really goes on after dark in Beijing?

We interview Christy Franklin, a Wyoming-based CODEPINK activist and advocate of the 'China Is Not Our Enemy' campaign. She explains how ordinary Americans are bypassing legacy media to learn about China through social media—and how that grassroots connection is quietly building peace between the two countries.

The world is rediscovering China. Jerry Grey is a former British police officer living in China. Jerry is also a youtuber, and influencer. He juxtaposes common sense, on the ground observations, with the claims about China made by Legacy media. What ensues is sometimes comical, but always insightful.

We interview London’s famed economist, John Ross. He explains how China’s economy really works. We discuss global development, China’s poverty alleviation and so much more.

We interview author Hussein Askary about how we can literally build a better future for all humanity. He discusses a vision of a unified Africa, and land bridges between Asia and the Americas. He even has a plan to fund it. Listen to this!

We interview CODEPINK’s cofounder, Jodie Evans. She discusses the US war on the Iranian people, the US embargo on the Cuban people, while China advocates for peace. Listen in.

We interview CEO, David J. Carlson, whose job is connecting clients in the West with those in Asia. He discussed how to get a business into China, geopolitics, and what a Trump visit to Beijing might look like. Listen in.
