Ni How Are You

China Plus

"Ni How Are You" is more than a clever play on words — combining the Chinese greeting "ni hao" with the English "How are you?" It's a warm, bilingual handshake between two cultures. This narrative-driven video podcast series steps beyond the sterile briefing rooms of geopolitics to explore the raw, beautiful, and deeply personal ties binding the United States and China. Through intimate conversations, we feature Americans who have made China an indelible part of their identity, and Chinese citizens who view America through their own unique lens.
