This week on Cooking Issues, Dave Arnold and the crew welcome special guest KC Boyle of Dock to Dish, a pioneering community-supported fishery connecting local fishermen directly with restaurants. KC breaks down how their model short-circuits the traditional supply chain, gives boats better pay, and brings overlooked species like sea robin, welks, and local red shrimp to chefs' menus.Alongside the seafood talk, Dave recounts his oily laundry disaster, debates eggplant varietals with John, and Jack shares food adventures from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China — including stinky tofu, abalone, and Michelin dining in Chengdu. The conversation veers into fruit obsessions, etiquette in fine dining comps, and why Americans need to expand their fish vocabulary.From abalone and blowfish to razor clams and blackfish, this episode dives deep into the hidden bounty of local waters and what it takes to get them onto plates.Cooking Issues — where chefs, fish, and the occasional lifetime-guaranteed backpack all meet at the table.

Chef Jeremy Fox joins Dave, John, Quinn, and Jackie Molecules for a rollicking Cooking Issues session that jumps from kitchen hacks to personal reflections. Fox, in New York fresh off the release of his new book On Meat, talks through the craft behind charcuterie, confit, scrapple, corned beef, merguez, and even buffalo deviled eggs.Dave kicks things off with a story of wiping out on an oily UN-Week bike lane, before diving into Fox's world: the terrine he made for his own wedding, the art of hoshigaki persimmons, why corned beef sometimes wins out over pastrami, and the surprising virtues of scrapple. Fox explains why he avoids crosshatching duck breast, how to keep confit submerged, and what it takes to crisp potato skins properly.The conversation widens to food culture and kitchen life: Chengdu rabbit heads, the misery of warm lager, Belgian frites technique, kitchen safety horror stories, and the bittersweet reality of closing Birdie G's. Along the way we get clever hacks (butter-knife weights for sous-vide rolls, parsley-green fat in terrine), a defense of warm scrapple with maple syrup, and Fox's thoughts on larder staples that make weeknight cooking easier.

The end of toll collection on Chengdu's expressways and others across China will reduce costs for daily commuters and the logistics industry. But will it create a financial challenge for future maintenance? While travelers will benefit from the savings, a key concern is whether the increased traffic will lead to congestion that diminishes the comfort and efficiency of the roads for everyone. On the show: Steve Hatherly, Fei Fei & Yushan

In this new pod, we are joined by special guest @TennisWizard69! First, we recap the ATP 250s in Chengdu and Hangzhou and talk about various topics surrounding the ATP Tour. A few of the topics we discussed are Tabilo's impressive run, Musetti's hard court power ranking, Bublik's strong form, Royer's excellent week, Medvedev's struggles, and much more. We then breakdown the draws at the ATP 500s in Tokyo and Beijing and talk about our favorite 1st round bets. This podcast was recorded live during the 1st round matches in Tokyo!

Inlineskating: Laethisia Schimek gehört zu den schnellsten Skaterinnen Deutschlands – und hat bei den World Games in Chengdu die Bronzemedaille gewonnen. Diese Medaille ist für sie etwas ganz besonders, denn sie holte das Edelmetall nach einem Neubeginn. Ihre Karriere hing an einem seidenen Faden. Ein emotionaler Rückblick im „Sportstunde“-Interview. Fussball: Viktoria Berlin ist mehr als ein Fußballverein – es ist eine Bewegung. Gegründet von sechs Frauen mit einer mutigen Vision, steht der Klub heute für Aufbruch, Wertschätzung und den festen Glauben daran, dass Frauenfußball anders gedacht werden kann. Teamkapitänin Nina Ehegötz erzählt, wie sie in Berlin die Freude am Spiel zurückgewonnen hat – und warum der Aufstieg mit diesem Team für sie mehr bedeutet als jeder Wechsel in die erste Liga. Auch Mitgründerin Lisa Währer gibt Einblicke in die Entstehung des Vereins und die Kraft des Netzwerks, das hinter Viktoria Berlin steht. Dazu gibt es einen ausführlichen Ausblick auf kommende nationale und internationale Sportevents wie den Ryder-Cup im Golf, dem Start der Basketball-Bundesliga und der WM im Berg- und Trailrunning.

A Shenzhen la nazionale italiana ha confermato il titolo della BJK Cup vinto nel 2024 sconfiggendo con una entusiasmante cavalcata Cina, Ucraina e USA. Lorenzo Musetti non è riuscito a rompere la sequenza di finali perse cedendo 7-6 al terzo contro Tabilo nel match conclusivo dell'ATP di Chengdu.

On today's episode, we dive into the resilience and courage of those standing up for truth and freedom. We open by reflecting on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, highlighting how students and activists at Turning Point USA's first campus event since his death are rallying to continue his mission. From touching moments with Erika Kirk, who shares her message of forgiveness, to rare footage of Trump and Elon Musk coming together in Charlie's memory, we explore the unity and determination driving this movement. We also cover the latest security threats in New York, including the Secret Service's dismantling of a telecommunications network near the UN General Assembly, underscoring the ever-present challenges facing our society. Our featured guest, Lily Tang Williams, shares her remarkable journey from growing up under China's Cultural Revolution to becoming a U.S. citizen and political leader. Born in Chengdu to working-class parents, Lily endured extreme poverty, repression, and a lack of basic freedoms before escaping to the United States in 1988. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of liberty. As a former law professor, corporate executive, and entrepreneur, Lily has brought her experience and dedication to public service, running for Congress in New Hampshire's 2nd District in 2022 and 2024, and now announcing her 2026 campaign. She discusses why she is running again, her vision to “Keep the American Dream Alive,” and how her experiences in communist China inform her views on education, freedom, and governance in America today. We also examine international concerns about free speech and rising unrest, featuring clips from England where citizens are protesting against government overreach and immigration policies. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action on government transparency, focusing on the release of Epstein-related documents and the importance of holding institutions accountable. This episode is a must-watch for anyone committed to justice, liberty, and the defense of free speech at home and abroad.  

Catherine, David and Matt are here, unusually, on a Tuesday to look back on Laver Cup, Iga Swiatek's title in Seoul, and a couple of ATP events in China. Part one - Laver Cup. We start by hearing from The Athletic's Matt Futterman who spent the weekend in San Francisco at Laver Cup. He explains why and how he entered the week with skepticism only to be won over by the crowds, the format and the vibe of the event. After that, despite promising not to get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup like we always do, we get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup. Part two - Tour results (36m41s). We cover Iga Swiatek's victory in Seoul, her gutsy performance to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in a dramatic final, and the race for year-end #1 on the WTA Tour. On the men's side, there's chat about Alejandro Tabilo's sudden resurgence to triumph in Chengdu, the utter devastation for beaten finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and whether Alexander Bublik can qualify for Turin after his fourth title of the season. Part three - Preview of the week ahead (59m47s). We discuss what to expect from a stacked field for the WTA 1000 in Beijing as well as two ATP 500 events in Beijing and Tokyo.

This summer, she took a trip to China with a group of friends with different levels of China experience, from people raised in the country to total novices.

During peak lunch hour at a busy restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, four chefs work in perfect unison, deftly churning out multiple dishes as flames leap from the woks. However, their expertise and execution are not only of interest to the customers waiting for the food, but also to over 50,000 viewers watching them live at work on Douyin, China's short-video platform.在四川省成都市一家人气餐厅的午间用餐高峰时段，四位厨师配合默契，炒锅火光跃动间，娴熟地烹制出一道道菜品。他们的精湛技艺不仅吸引着等候取餐的顾客，还受到中国短视频平台抖音上5万余名实时观看直播网友的关注。Luoxiaoyang Home-Style Cuisine, which opened its doors in June, has attracted more than 1.7 million followers on Douyin by livestreaming what goes on in its kitchen.这家名为“罗小羊家常菜”的餐厅于今年6月开业，通过直播厨房日常运作，已在抖音平台积累超170万粉丝。Responding to increasing public concern about food safety, a number of restaurants nationwide have begun livestreaming their kitchen operations - a strategy aimed at both winning diners' trust and boosting visibility through online engagement.随着公众对食品安全的关注度持续提升，全国多地餐厅纷纷开启厨房直播模式。这一举措既是为赢取消费者信任，也旨在通过线上互动提高店铺曝光度。The growing interest in "transparent kitchen" livestreams follows a heated online debate sparked by celebrity entrepreneur Luo Yonghao. Last week, Luo criticized domestic restaurant chain Xibei on China's popular social media platform Sina Weibo, alleging that many dishes were premade. His post went viral, prompting public discussion about food safety and kitchen transparency.“透明厨房”直播受热捧，源于知名企业家罗永浩引发的一场网络热议。上周，罗永浩在国内知名社交平台新浪微博上，对连锁餐饮品牌西贝提出质疑，称其多款菜品为预制菜。该言论迅速走红网络，引发公众对食品安全与厨房透明度的广泛讨论。Kitchen livestreams are not exactly new. In March, the State Council, China's Cabinet, issued a guideline strengthening food safety supervision, urging platforms and merchants to implement"internet plus transparent kitchen"initiatives and enhance oversight on delivery-only restaurants through public monitoring.厨房直播并非新鲜事物。今年3月，中国国务院印发关于加强食品安全监管的指导意见，明确要求平台与商户落实“互联网+透明厨房”举措，并通过公众监督强化对纯外卖餐厅的监管。Sun Juanjuan, an associate professor at Hebei Agricultural University and researcher at the Center for Coordination and Innovation of Food Safety Governance, said, "As customers have begun focusing on how the food is being prepared, restaurants have shifted focus from price wars to hygiene standards."河北农业大学副教授、食品安全治理协同创新中心研究员孙娟娟表示：“如今消费者更关注菜品制作过程，餐饮企业的竞争焦点已从价格战转向卫生标准。”However, some industry insiders worry that the livestreams could become mere "performances".不过，部分业内人士担忧，厨房直播可能沦为“表演秀”。Zhong Kai, a food safety expert from the China Food Information Center, said the actual impact of livestreaming on food safety supervision might be more about deterrence than regulation."Issues such as pesticide residues or cross-contamination are hard to catch via livestreams. Most food safety incidents that have been exposed have been due to snapshots of chefs not wearing masks or hats, or catching glimpses of rats in kitchens," he said.中国食品信息中心食品安全专家钟凯指出，直播对食品安全监管的实际作用更多体现在震慑层面，而非直接监管。“农药残留、交叉污染等问题难以通过直播发现。目前曝光的食品安全问题，多是因镜头捕捉到厨师未戴口罩、帽子，或厨房内出现老鼠等明显违规场景。”Yet, Sun said: "Implementing 'transparent kitchen' measures in the mass catering sector has always been a regulatory challenge. Now, with public enthusiasm and demand, it can help accelerate implementation across various regions."孙娟娟则认为：“在大众餐饮领域推行‘透明厨房'，一直是监管工作的难点。如今借助公众的热情与需求，有望推动这一举措在各地加速落地。”premadeadj.预制的；预先制作的/ˌpriːˈmeɪd/deterrencen.震慑；威慑/dɪˈterəns/cross-contaminationn.交叉污染/ˌkrɒs kənˌtæmɪˈneɪʃn/

This week on Sinica, I chat with Dave Kang (USC), Zenobia Chan (Georgetown), and Jackie Wong (American University in Sharjah, UAE) about their new paper in International Security titled "What Does China Want?" The paper, which has generated quite a bit of controversy, takes a data-driven approach to examine the claim that China seeks global hegemony — that it wants to supplant the U.S. as a globe-spanning top power.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, I welcome back Evan Feigenbaum, Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Evan served for many years as a State Department official, was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia and Central Asia among his numerous positions in government, and was instrumental in building the U.S.-India relationship after 2000 — only to watch Trump round on India in recent months, slapping large punitive tariffs on the South Asian giant ostensibly over its purchases of Russian oil. What motivated Trump? And how does this look from New Delhi and from Beijing? Will China capitalize on the strains in the U.S.-Indian relationship?

Este HYPEBALL llega con raquetazos históricos, rumores de motor que hacen temblar el paddock y documentales chismosos

Nighttime dining, shopping and travel are thriving across China this summer, injecting fresh momentum to economic growth at a time when the country has prioritized consumption as its top priority this year.今年夏季，我国夜间餐饮、购物、旅游等消费业态蓬勃发展。在国家将消费列为今年工作重点的背景下，夜间经济为经济增长注入了新动能。The market size of China's nighttime economy has so far surpassed 50 trillion yuan ($7 trillion), said marketing consultancy Zhiyanzhan.More restaurants have extended business hours and launched delivery services to attract late-night diners and increase revenue.市场咨询机构智研瞻产业研究院数据显示，目前我国夜间经济市场规模已突破50 万亿元（约合 7 万亿美元）。为吸引夜宵客、提升营收，越来越多餐饮企业延长营业时间，并推出外卖服务。Huda Restaurant, a popular crayfish eatery in Beijing's bustling Guijie Street, is operating four outlets in the same area, cumulatively serving more than 6,500 customers daily on average. During peak hours on some nights, customers sometimes have to wait in line for three hours, according to the restaurant.位于北京繁华簋街的热门小龙虾餐厅“胡大饭店”，在该区域布局了 4 家门店，日均总客流量超 6500 人次。据餐厅介绍，部分夜晚的高峰时段，顾客有时需排队 3 小时才能就餐。"Tourists are often unable to wait that long to dine in. Some choose the takeaway option, or order deliveries to their hotels. Some 70 percent of our takeout orders come from nearby hotels, as many tourists tend to order deliveries at night after their daytime sightseeing in the city," said Zhang Shengtao, deputy general manager of Huda.“很多游客等不了那么久，有的会选择打包带走，有的则直接点外卖送到酒店。我们约 70% 的外卖订单来自周边酒店 —— 不少游客白天在市区观光后，晚上习惯点外卖。” 胡大饭店副总经理张胜涛说。"We take food delivery platforms as an important supplement to our operations, as the platforms allow customers to search for our restaurant from different channels. With no increase in the number of staff members and no change in restaurant areas, delivery services can help raise order volumes and lead to profit growth," Zhang said.他表示：“我们把外卖平台当作经营的重要补充，这些平台能让顾客通过多种渠道找到我们。在不增加员工、不扩大门店面积的情况下，外卖业务能帮助提升订单量，进而带动利润增长。”The restaurant chain said diners aged between 25 and 39 account for a large share of its total customers, while consumers opting for deliveries are mainly aged between 18 and 35.该餐饮连锁品牌透露，25 至 39 岁的顾客占堂食总客流的较大比例，而选择外卖的消费者以 18 至 35 岁人群为主。Hong Yong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said the availability of nighttime dining meets the demand for late night snacking among urban white-collar employees and many young consumers, especially as more people stay up late, work overtime, or venture out for social entertainment, and late night dining gradually becomes a part of their daily routine.中国国际贸易促进委员会国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员洪勇指出，夜间餐饮的普及，满足了城市白领及众多年轻消费者的夜宵需求。如今熬夜、加班、外出社交娱乐的人群增多，夜宵逐渐成为他们日常生活的一部分。"Nighttime economic activities such as dining, night tours and shopping provide richer consumption scenarios, and meet consumers' demand for leisure and entertainment, social interaction and emotional release," Hong said.“餐饮、夜游、购物等夜间经济活动，提供了更丰富的消费场景，满足了消费者休闲娱乐、社交互动、情感释放的需求。” 洪勇说。"The expansion of nighttime consumption scenarios will help promote the diversification of consumption formats, encourage higher frequencies of spending, effectively stimulate domestic demand and promote sustained economic growth momentum," he added.他补充道：“夜间消费场景的拓展，有助于推动消费业态多元化，提高消费频次，有效激发内需，为经济持续增长注入动力。”According to a report released by the Ministry of Commerce, 60 percent of China's urban consumption takes place after dusk. At large-scale malls, sales between 6 pm and 10 pm usually account for over half of the whole day's revenue.商务部发布的报告显示，我国60% 的城市消费发生在傍晚之后。在大型商场，18 时至 22 时的销售额通常占全天营收的一半以上。Shui Tea Shop, a tea drink brand based in Jinan, Shandong province, now operates some 1,400 stores nationwide, which are mainly located in Shandong, Jiangsu and Hebei provinces, as well as Tianjin and Beijing.总部位于山东济南的茶饮品牌“阿水大杯茶”，目前在全国拥有约 1400 家门店，主要分布在山东、江苏、河北三省及天津、北京两地。Since June, some of its stores began to extend their business hours. Now, over 300 stores operate until 11 pm, more than 100 stores operate until midnight, and a further 100 outlets are open beyond midnight. The extension of business hours will last until the end of September, the company said.该公司表示，自今年6 月起，部分门店开始延长营业时间：目前超 300 家门店营业至 23 时，100 余家营业至次日 0 时，另有 100 家门店营业至凌晨之后，这一延长营业时间的举措将持续至 9 月底。"After extending the business hours, there has been a clear trend of growth in store revenue, and some stores have experienced sales growth of over 100 percent compared with the period before the extension," said Wei Qun, director of delivery services at A-Shui Tea Shop.“延长营业时间后，门店营收增长趋势明显，部分门店销售额较延长前增长超 100%。” 阿水大杯茶外卖业务负责人魏群说。"Nighttime sales have been especially high in Jinan and Qingdao of Shandong, as well as Tianjin. Stores with higher revenues are mainly located in core business circles, and nighttime sales mainly come from orders for deliveries," Wei said.“山东的济南、青岛以及天津等地的夜间销售额表现尤为突出。高营收门店主要集中在核心商圈，夜间销售以外卖订单为主。” 魏群介绍。He added that in summer, many consumers are interested in having barbecues and crayfish at night, and restaurants providing such meals located in core business districts have largely extended their operating hours. Their popularity has also driven the sales growth of beverages, as certain drinks pair nicely with these kinds of food.他还提到，夏季夜晚，不少消费者喜欢吃烧烤、小龙虾，核心商圈内提供这类餐食的餐厅大多延长了营业时间。这些餐饮的火爆也带动了饮品销量—— 部分饮品与这类食物搭配口感更佳。In addition to the catering sector, many sightseeing spots have extended their opening hours this summer, and upgraded night tourism products to meet the diverse demand of travelers. Besides driving an increase in ticket revenue for scenic spots, it has promoted the growth of related businesses such as catering, accommodation and shopping in surrounding areas.除餐饮行业外，今年夏季，多家景区延长开放时间，并升级夜间旅游产品，以满足游客多样化需求。这不仅推动景区门票收入增长，还带动了周边餐饮、住宿、购物等关联业态的发展。The government has encouraged more industry players to actively develop the night tourism economy.政府也积极鼓励更多市场主体参与夜间旅游经济发展。According to a guideline issued earlier this year by the State Council, China's Cabinet, the holding of more nighttime activities such as folk performances, lantern fairs, temple fairs, and light and shadow shows has been encouraged, and different regions could develop water night tours based on local conditions.今年早些时候，国务院印发的指导意见明确，鼓励举办民俗展演、灯会、庙会、光影秀等夜间活动，各地可结合实际发展水上夜游项目。In addition, the government will support the upgrading and renovation of lighting services at night in commercial areas, and the optimization of support facilities such as parking lots and public transportation, according to the document.意见还提出，将支持商业街区夜间照明设施升级改造，优化停车场、公共交通等配套设施。In Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, a three-day international kite festival that included nighttime events attracted more than 163,000 tourists in July, netting tourism revenue of over 60 million yuan, according to the local government.据贵州省贵阳市政府消息，今年7 月举办的为期三天的国际风筝节（含夜间活动），吸引游客超 16.3 万人次，实现旅游收入超 6000 万元。Night markets, roadside concerts in parks, trunk markets and other nighttime consumption scenes were attractive to tourists.夜市、公园路边音乐会、后备箱集市等夜间消费场景，对游客具有很强的吸引力。"This type of nighttime cultural tourism model, with feature activities as its core, gathers popularity and forms a consumption loop, and has become an effective way to boost the nighttime economy," said Mu Qianyi, an analyst of LeadLeo Research Institute, a market research provider based in Shanghai.“这种以特色活动为核心的夜间文旅模式，能聚集人气、形成消费闭环，已成为拉动夜间经济的有效方式。” 上海市场研究机构头豹研究院分析师穆芊伊说。Mu added that new technologies and scenarios such as drone light shows at night will help enrich the experiences of tourists. The improvement in the quality of scenes naturally enhances the attractiveness and vitality of nighttime cultural tourism, and could help inject new impetus into economic growth.穆芊伊补充道，夜间无人机灯光秀等新技术、新场景，将进一步丰富游客体验。消费场景品质的提升，自然会增强夜间文旅的吸引力与活力，为经济增长注入新动力。Particularly, Shanghai has been developing a booming nighttime economy, and the city's after-dark economy index has maintained the top position in the country for five consecutive years. This year, it has been followed by Guangzhou, Guangdong province, and Chengdu, Sichuan province, said Rising Lab, a city-oriented big data platform of Yicai Media Group.值得关注的是，上海夜间经济持续繁荣。第一财经传媒集团旗下城市大数据平台“第一财经研究院” 数据显示，上海夜间经济指数已连续五年位居全国首位，今年紧随其后的是广东广州与四川成都。In Shanghai, nighttime lighting covered 75 percent of the city's area last year, and nighttime public transportation covered 1,975 square kilometers, which significantly helped to improve the local nighttime consumption environment, the platform found.该平台还发现，去年上海夜间照明覆盖面积占全市面积的75%，夜间公共交通覆盖范围达 1975 平方公里，这一配套设施的完善显著改善了当地夜间消费环境。

This week on Sinica, I'm delighted to be joined by Dan Wang, formerly of Gavekal Dragonomics and the Paul Tsai Law Center at Yale University, now with the Hoover Institute's History Lab. Dan's new book is Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, and it's already one of the year's most talked-about books. In this conversation, we go beyond what's actually in the book to discuss the origins and implications of the Chinese "engineering state" — the world's biggest technocratic polity — and what the United States should and should not learn from China. We discuss how Dan's ideas sit with Abundance by Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein, and much more.

Artificial intelligence has been a frequent topic on Sinica in recent years — but usually through the lens of the two countries that have produced the leading models and companies: the United States and China. We've covered generative AI, national strategies, governance frameworks, and the geopolitical implications of AI leadership.This webinar, broadcast on the morning of August 14, broadens that lens to explore how other countries — and especially Ukraine — are approaching AI in the public sector. Around the world, governments are experimenting with AI well beyond chatbots and text generation: China's “City Brain” optimizes traffic, energy use, and public safety; U.S. agencies are streamlining services and automating benefits processing; and elsewhere, smart grids, predictive infrastructure planning, and AI-enabled e-governance are reshaping public administration. These projects reveal both the promise and the complexity of bringing AI into government — along with valid concerns over privacy, fairness, and inclusiveness.We'll look at what lessons Ukraine might draw from U.S. and Chinese experiences, the opportunities and challenges of adapting these practices, and the strategic risks of sourcing AI solutions from different providers — especially in the context of Ukraine's eventual postwar reconstruction.Joining us are three distinguished guests:Dmytro Yefremov, Board Member of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists, with deep expertise in China's political and technological strategies and Ukraine's policy landscape.Wang Guan, Chairman of Learnable.ai in China, bringing extensive experience in AI applications for public administration and education.Karman Lucero, Associate Research Scholar and Senior Fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center, whose work focuses on Chinese law, governance, and the regulation of emerging technologies.Thanks to the Ukrainian Platform for Contemporary China, the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists, and the Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill for organizing and sponsoring today's event.
