Fascinating interview - hearing two women of Chinese extraction working in the West candidly discuss their cultural origins and its effect of their mental state (dynamism vs scorn for weakness, the anxiety of stagnation), the specifics of Chinese worker culture (shamate, factory towns), and the inside view on "Belt & Road" in practice (empty sloganeering, lack of investment experience, etc) all really expanded my view of China. It's easy to get lost in the Western, pseudo-propagandized perception of China, and hearing the views of people who've truly seen both sides is a rare and valuable experience. Worth reading in its entirety, and I intend to watch the film now, too.
