    10. Is China really that BIG?

    Yes, it's HUGE. But not just in the way you think. Almost deep as it is broad, there are 6 climate zones, 55 ethnicities, and dozens if not hundreds of different cultures. Artem and Lucien discuss how China's colossal scale informs everything here, from economic growth, population patterns, and even how local Chinese see themselves.

    6. Are Chinese people obsessed with food?

    Artem and Lucien’s home countries, Russia and the UK, aren’t famous for their food (and Lucien has especially weird food habits). So it’s hard for them to understand why Chinese people love to eat. In this episode, they discuss Chinese food, how important it is, how many money is spent on it and why Chinese people really really love food!
