    WEEK IN REVIEW: AU in G20 and the New "Chinese Savior" Narrative in Africa

    The Chinese Foreign Ministry was among the first major governments this week to welcome the African Union as the newest member of the G20. The big question now is what will the AU do now that it has a seat at the table?

    Plus, Kenya's already dire economic situation gets worse and a new big-budget Chinese medical drama set in a fictitious African country released this week on major Chinese streaming platforms, the latest installment in the burgeoning genre of "Chinese savior" narratives.

Usually great

The climate thing is getting annoying. Eric only visits California and DC and acts like a US expert. He is the arrogant “intellectual” that so many reject. He interrupts guests constantly and even belittles Cobus and Geraud

One of the best podcasts on this topic

If not the very best. And I say that as someone who has worked in China and holds a degree in East Asian regional studies.

Gravitas and in-depth

Great podcast. I like the gravitas and nuances surrounding discussions of complex Global Issues.
I enjoyed the episode on the Global South’s debt problem. Your guest; Economist Ying Qian, was knowledgeable.
The hosts : Eric and Cobus, are knowledge too. They come prepared. They ask pertinent and complex questions to their hosts hence engaging them.
