Customer Reviews
Compelling
I can’t wait for the next episode. This very personal, gentle and restrained account has drawn me in to Sophia’s world which resonates all too loudly with my own more limited experience but in a non-alarmist way. I’m just a little terrified for her safety and that of all of China and beyond.
Terrifying but worthy listen
Really enjoying this podcast, a lot of information on Xi Jinping but without being too turgid. Also fascinating to hear the difficulties Sophia has just doing her job.
Fascinating!
Very worth your time
