Podcasts about Chimerica

This episode features a lively conversation with Fan Yang, Professor of Media and Communication Studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, about her new book Disorienting Politics: Chimerican Media and Transpacific Entanglements. The term “Chimerica” is a portmanteau word, blending “China” and “America.” The neologism denotes the economic, political, and cultural entanglements of the two countries. Fan Yang uses the concept of “Chimerican media” to explore how the conflicts and tensions between the world's two superpowers are played out in movies, television series, journalism, and media products that are often viewed by people in both countries.  Drawing upon media examples such as House of Cards, The Martian, and Firefly, Prof. Yang shows how the tendency of American media to portray the Chinese state as a racialized “other” tends to complicate the two countries' increasing geopolitical entanglement. The conversation also touches on the reconceptualized Netflix version of The Three Body Problem and the complex reactions on both sides of the Pacific to the depictions of Cultural Revolution violence in the series.

Zha is a Sichuan-born China-commentator who had a long-term professional sojourn in southern California, before settling in Bali, Indonesia. He hosts the Silk and Steel podcast, which covers China, the Silk Road, and more general history, culture and geopolitics. Zha and Razib have known each other since the 2010's, and often circle back to discussions of China, its history, politics and culture. The course of their conversations has spanned both the close of the “Chimerica” period of trade and political relations, and the more adversarial status that obtains in both the US and in the People's Republic of China under Xi Jinping. But first, Razib and Zha discuss what it's like to live as an ethnic Han Chinese in Indonesia, albeit one who resides in Hindu-majority Bali, where Zha settled after marrying a local woman and becoming a father. Though Indonesia has an economically and politically powerful Chinese minority, it was also the scene of ethnic riots in the 1990's and a genocide of Han Chinese in the 1960's. Until recently, the state did not recognize Confucianism as a religion and discouraged Chinese names and Chinese-language schools. Nevertheless, Zha presents a relatively positive picture of relations on the island of Bali, where the Hindu population seems to have had an easier time integrating Han in a more syncretistic culture than in the Muslim-majority islands. Then they discuss the pivot in US-China relations in the last half a decade, and the possibilities presented by great power rivalry. Razib and Zha address the thorny reality that though China and the US are now embarking on more explicitly adversarial geopolitics, their economic ties remain strong, with Chinese supply chains essential for American firms like Apple and the US consumer demand essential to propping up China's vast export sector. Zha also offers a defense of Xi Jinping's rule and the prospects for China as it turns inward from the world, focusing on its domestic market and shoring up its geopolitical positions. The discussion turns to the range of likely outcomes in a world where the 21st century is both the American and Chinese century, and the two great powers remain both economically and geopolitically entangled through trade and numerous bilateral relationships with other nations.

My apologies if you have received this twice. Cock up at HQ.Over a Zoom call earlier in the week,  I heard some people discussing the “Russian Davos” which they had attended back in June. I didn't even know such a thing existed, such is my Western, Ptolemaic view of the world. (Ptolemaic, by the way, to save you having to look it up, means you think you are at the centre of the universe, and everything revolves around you).So the Russian Davos, or as it's properly known, the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, held in June, is an annual event that began in 1995 to signal the (then) new Russia. It would attract global political leaders, business titans, finance bigwigs and all the usual shizzle. The event went ahead this year, though, for obvious reasons, the VIP headcount was significantly down. Gone were the likes of (once) German chancellor Angela Merkel, ECB chief Christine Lagarde, Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein, Citi's Vikram Pandit and ExxonMobil's Rex Tillerson. Top billing went to presidents of Egypt (via video link), Kazakhstan, Armenia and other allied states.There were representatives from the likes of China, India, Iran, Serbia, Turkey, Venezuela, Egypt, Belarus, Central African Republic, Nicaragua and the United Arab Emirates. Quite a collection. Non-Western nations that have not imposed sanctions had greater prominence. The Western economy has been shaped by cheap commodity prices The official title of the forum was "New Opportunities in a New World", and the recurring theme was how to improve trade between non-Western powers in a US dollar controlled world of sanctions. "A new form of international cooperation: how will payments be made?" was the title of one such talk. Time and time again the conversation came back to a new, non-Western international currency.Which brings me to the second strand of thought that makes up today's piece: the latest contribution from Credit Suisse analyst, Zoltan Pozsar. Pozsar has long since argued that Bretton Woods III, a new world monetary order, is happening before our eyes and that new money systems east of Europe will be based around commodity-based currencies.In his latest, War and Industrial Policy, Pozsar, who I am fast becoming a fan of, argues that there were three forces that shaped the western economy before Covid - cheap immigrant labour, cheap Chinese goods and cheap gas. Such a trinity is no longer possible in a world in which international trust is fast evaporating. “The “cartoon” version goes like this: China got very rich making cheap stuff, and then wanted to build 5G networks globally and make cutting-edge chips with cutting-edge lithography machines, but the US said “no way”. As a result, Chimerica is going through a messy divorce. The two sides don't talk anymore.” Meanwhile, “Russia got very rich selling cheap gas to Europe, and Germany got very rich selling expensive stuff produced with cheap gas.” Those two sides aren't talking any more either. “Chimerica does not work anymore and Eurussia does not work either,” he says and now, in the divorce, it seems Russia and China are “getting it on”. Meanwhile, out west, QE and zero interest rate policies are no longer possible in a world without cheap Chinese and Russian exports. There is now a rush to regain control of key technologies, especially microchips, and key commodities, especially oil and gas (and soon in my opinion metals and grains). Pozsar adds straits to the key list - the Taiwan Strait, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Bosporus Strait.“I think that four themes (re-arm, re-shore, re-stock, and re-wire the electric grid) will be the defining aims of industrial policy over the next five years … the global order is at stake.”Inflation or not, high rates or not, there is a commodity-intensive demand shock coming that “could easily drive another commodity super-cycle.”So to the third strand. “The issue of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of currencies of our countries is being worked out,” Vladimir Putin said last month.In this regards we have former Kremlin adviser, now Minister in Charge of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU), and an influential economist, Sergey Glazyev. He is, according to some reports, supervising the adoption of a new money system for the EAEU and China. “The world's new monetary system, underpinned by a digital currency, will be backed by a basket of new foreign currencies and natural resources”. “A currency like this can be issued by a pool of currency reserves of BRICS countries, which all interested countries will be able to join. The weight of each currency in the basket could be proportional to the GDP of each country (based on purchasing power parity, for example), its share in international trade, as well as the population and territory size of participating countries. In addition, the basket could contain an index of prices of main exchange-traded commodities: gold and other precious metals, key industrial metals, hydrocarbons, grains, sugar, as well as water and other natural resources.”You can bet your bottom dollar that many of China and Eurasia's brightest minds are plotting such a system, but it's a lot easier said than done. Apart from anything else there is the issue of storing all these commodities. Not all of them keep. Others take up a lot of space. Which is why, in the past, gold alone has been used to back money. It keeps very well and you don't need a lot of space to store it. The bullish backdrop for commodity prices Russia and China both have lots of gold - we have long argued that China's gold reserves are ten times what they say they are. It would be a lot easier to use a gold-backed international currency. Or, well, gold. But governments everywhere, whether controlled by tyrants or technocrats, are always going to want to maintain the option to print, debase and manipulate, so gold alone is unlikely. But you never know. It works as an international money.Against this highly-bullish-for-commodities backdrop, we have a situation here in the west that looks like the dead cat bounce in stocks is now over, and the bear is again gnashing his teeth. That teeth gnashing has extended to commodities, be they metal, fuel or grain, and now, once again, there is a rush for the exit. The main priority is to preserve capital, not positions. The price action - certainly in metals, less so in oil and gas - has the hallmarks of a bear market, not a supercycle.I keep saying these markets are difficult. But they are. While there is a liquidity squeeze all bets are off. But at a certain point, to my eyes at least, it looks like commodity prices are going to rocket. If only I knew when.To hedge yourself and buy gold or silver, check out the Pure Gold Company.I will be performing my lecture with funny bits, How Heavy?, about the history of weights and measures at the Museum of Comedy in London on September 28 and 29.

In this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Molson Hart, founder and CEO of Viahart, an educational toy company. He is also co-founder of Edison, an intellectual property-focused litigation financing firm. Hart has gained some visibility as a prominent seller on Amazon, with strong opinions on the company both positive and negative. First, Razib asks Hart about Amazon's role in the American economy, and how it compares and contrasts with Walmart. Unlike many who have negative experiences with the company, Hart's attitude seems to be that consumers and producers both need to accept the reality of Amazon's behemoth position in the American marketplace. It's not going anywhere, so the question is how to control it, not kill it. If Amazon has brought supply-chain scale to the US economy, America's partnership with China has taken the concept of scale to a whole new level. Razib asks about Hart's experience as a businessman in China ten years ago in the border area between Manchuria and North Korea. Hart recounts several major things he learned about the contrast between the US and China. For example, while Americans focus on fairness and rule of law, the Chinese have no such expectations and are very pragmatic (“don't argue, pay the bribe!”). Second, the Chinese plan fast and make immediate decisions, and then pivot rapidly off mistakes, while Americans tend to over plan. Though China in the early 2010s was very corrupt, Hart feels the last decade has seen a shift away from those practices. Another thing that has changed over the last decade has been an awareness that American and Chinese supply chains need to become decoupled to some extent due to both geopolitical and economic considerations. The COVID-19 interruptions in particular have made many Americans aware of how entangled how our own production processes are with China. But changing the current economic relationships may not be so easy. In the mid-2010's Hart shifted some of his purchasing to Vietnam. Though the Vietnamese are hungrier and cheaper, they naturally lack the scale, efficiency and specialization of their Chinese competitors. Hart also observes that it is clear that the Chinese workers are among the hardest working and most skilled in the world, so they will not be easy to replace. His contacts in the Pacific Rim believe that only India would ever be able to truly substitute for China because of its size and diversity. Hart notes that one peculiarity of China is that it operates as a large market economy that is culturally less aware of the US than other Asian trading partners. In particular, Chinese English fluency is much lower than that of Indian and Vietnamese. Hart wonders if this state might never change given that the Chinese society and economy are just large enough that they can ignore America more than smaller and less developed nations. Pivoting back to the US, Razib and Hart discuss the “easy money” policies that have dominated American economic policies over the last few years. Hart argues that the ability of Americans to take on debt enables bad policies, from foreign policy adventures to bailouts of firms that should be allowed to fail. Additionally, he argues that inflation reduces the value of American money and the appeal of investing in US “cash” as the safest investment.  They end the discussion with Hart's bullishness on East Asian economies, despite the demographic and political headwinds. He also believes that the US has a bright future, but we need to accept that we'll never have 1990's hyperpower again.

McCormick plays Hidden Agenda and leads Chimerica to a glorious socialist futu...nope, it's a coup again. Andy plays the unfinished potential classic Akira and Mick takes a look at underappreciated Kojima belter Policenauts.

Just ten years ago, pundits predicted that a future Sino-American G2 would govern the world. Today, the relations between Beijing and Washington is more often described as Cold War 2.0. The disappearance of Chimerica—a symbiosis of China and America--represents, in fact, the ongoing crisis of globalization since the end of the 20th century. What does the U.S.-China confrontation mean for Russia? Will Moscow take sides? Or will it be able to skillfully maneuver between the two powers? We discuss these issues with Ivan Safranchuk, Associate Professor of MGIMO University, and Vassily Kashin, a leading researcher at the Higher School of Economics.

What was the first show you ever saw? Your biggest theatre regret? And which production would you choose to watch on a loop for eternity? These questions and more make up Seven Stages, the new podcast from The Stage, sponsored by Audible. Our eight episode features designer Es Devlin and was released on Friday, July 10, 2020. From fringe theatres to worldwide stadium tours for the likes of Beyoncé and Adele, there are few worlds and scales untouched by designer Es Devlin. Starting as a designer for theatres like the Bush in west London, she quickly became a renowned stage designer, winning three Olivier Awards along the way. Recent stage work includes Hamlet starring Benedict Cumberbatch, The Lehman Trilogy, Chimerica and The Nether. But in parallel to her stage career, she has become the go-to designer for the world's biggest musicians. Kanye West and U2, Lady Gaga and Take That, The Weeknd and Dua Lipa have all called on Devlin to conjure the engrossing, kinetic designs - mixtures of sculpture, language and light - that are her signature. Here she talks about early inspirations from her childhood on the south coast, through to all-night listening sessions with Kanye West.  Every fortnight, you can join Tim Bano for illuminating, intimate conversations with influential performers and creatives who have lived their lives in theatre. The Seven Stages podcast, sponsored by Audible, is available anywhere you find your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and the link below. Devlin's interview is available to listen to now and follows episodes with actor Paul Chahidi, playwright Alan Ayckbourn, actor Noma Dumezweni, choreographer Arlene Phillips, former Young Vic artistic director David Lan, Olivier award-winning lighting designer Paule Constable and Ian McKellen.

Samantha Dakin is an actor from Northern California. She trained as an actor at Drama Centre London.

We talk about understudying, raising a baby in lockdown and VoiceOver work.

Does China own America? What is it about this volatile love-hate relationship between China and America? Why is the bad relationship so codependent and what can we do about it?

¡Segundo programa de Malditas Series! Una semana cargada de estrenos internacionales, un mundial de series en el que ganas vos y pierden Jessica, Maxi y Nacho, que se tuvieron que comer “Bless This Mess” (desde el minuto 02:25), una poco inspirada comedia norteamericana protagonizada por los geniales, y desaprovechados, Lake Bell y Dax Shepard. La segunda elegida es la argentina “Otros Pecados” (desde el minuto 29:40), una antología con mucho de Black Mirror en la estructura que empieza con un capítulo demoledor protagonizado por Leo Sbaraglia. El plato fuerte es “Chimerica” (desde el minuto 51:30), una miniserie del Channel 4 inglés que cuenta la historia de un fotógrafo de guerra que comete el mayor error de su vida, en el peor momento posible para el periodismo. Habla de economía, geopolítica, fake news y Trump. Imperdible, tanto como “Rilakkuma & Kaoru” (desde el minuto 1:14:38), una bellísima serie animada japonesa de Netflix que es casi una respuesta al Wes Anderson de “Isla de Perros”. Cerramos el capítulo con un análisis del nuevo capítulo de “Game of Thrones” (desde el minuto 1:27:40), que Nacho considera una de las 10 mejores entregas de la serie, y aunque Jessy y Maxi no están tan seguros, igual le siguen el juego... Malditas Series se estrena todos los lunes a la medianoche en Vorterix.com, twitch.tv/malditosnerds, el canal 502 de Cablevision Flow, Spotify, iTunes y tu plataforma favorita. ¡Suscribite, seguinos, recomendá y dejanos tu review!

Podcast is coming! That's right, the final season of Game Of Thrones landed this week and, like the Night King himself, we tore down The Wall and stormed forth to tackle it. In keeping with this theme, Terri seized control of the Seven Kingdoms, taking advantage of James' absence to install herself upon the Iron Throne as Queen Terri, Mother of podcasts, breaker of science-fiction and ruler of true crime documentaries. Despite this, We found time to dive into bleak BBC comedy Back To Life (don't call it the new Fleabag!) and Channel 4's culture-mashing four-part miniseries Chimerica. Plus a few tantalising breaking news tidbits and we make the bold choice to continue trying to make James laugh, even in his absence. NOTE: If you've not yet had a chance to watch the Game Of Thrones season opener then don't worry, you can still listen to the podcast as we've saved all the dragon chat for the end of the reviews section. Just skip everything between 41:38 and 51:37 and you'll be fine.

The Sara Cox Show starts on ITV this weekend and Sara tells us what we can look forward to. Emma and Jeffers also discuss new dramas Trust Me and Chimerica as well as sitcoms Not Going Out and Ghosts. Plus Nick Knowles shares his Box Set To Watch Before You Die!

Last year, playwright Lucy Kirkwood delivered us a sweeping epic with Chimerica, which looked at China’s economic rise against the backdrop of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. This year, her new play, The Children, is equally ambitious in its scope – as it pulls apart the fallout of a nuclear disaster – but it distils the action down into a chamber piece for three actors. In our case, Pamela Rabe, Sarah Peirse and William Zappa. Arts journalist Fiona Gruber travelled to the UK recently and spoke to Lucy Kirkwood about what inspired her to write the play. https://www.sydneytheatre.com.au/thechildren The Children, 29 Mar – 19 May 2018, Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House Seeing the show?

In GBA 241 we get better acquainted with Vera Chok. We struggle through a little bit of social awkwardness to get into a great conversation about acting, writing, performance, identity, race and sex.

Are we too entertained and distracted to make the choices to learn new skills, dig deep into government policy (which effects all of us) or carve out time to be more healthy and "alive." Are we so awash in entertainment that we just can't break away to accomplish all the things we want to do with our lives? Could we "Fix America" if we spent more time thinking and innovating rather than being "entertained." Also, we will discuss "Chimerica" in the Ascent of Money. We'll also chime in on the presidential debates.

In the wake of the global financial crisis, the unique relationship between China and the US has become the fulcrum of the world economy. As our largest creditor, China’s lending to the US has buoyed American companies and even allowed them to reinvent themselves, selling to Chinese consumers. Author and economic trend analyst Zachary Karabell argues that our two economies have become so interconnected that they’ve become one system: Chimerica. Karabell traces the initial forging of Chimerica that began after the suppression of the protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989 to the present. With a look at current affairs and the changing global economy, he urges that we accept China as the predominant economic partner of the future, or find ourselves left behind.
