Transcript: Sinica comes roaring back in the Year of the Dragon: A chat with Jeremy Goldkorn

Recorded February 9, 2024 and published February 15, 2024

Kaiser Kuo: Welcome to the Sinica Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we’ll look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what’s happening in China’s politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week for in-depth conversations that shed more light and bring less heat to the way we think and talk about China.

I’m Kaiser Kuo, coming to you from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Happy Year of the Dragon to all the listeners — it is great to be back. Sinica is supported this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin Madison — a National Resource Center for the study of East Asia. 

As we kick off this new season, I want you all to know that I won’t be charging a subscription for Sinica, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I’m doing with the podcast, please consider lending your support. You can get me at sinicapod@gmail.com. You can also support me as an individual on patreon.com/sinica. There will be a link in the show notes, and sign up for the new Sinica Substack, which I’ll tell you more about later on.
