Podcasts about Chinatown

Here's a preview of a new podcast, The Chinatown Sting from our friends at Pushkin Industries. In the late 1980s, a group of women connected through the mahjong parlors in Manhattan's Chinatown were caught in a massive undercover drug bust. But this bust was just the beginning of an even bigger case. Host Lidia Jean Kott and co-reporter Shuyu Wang interview sources who've never spoken on record before, including witnesses, defendants, and federal prosecutors, to reconstruct a case that still has repercussions today. In this episode, we meet Tina Wong, a young mother who found herself in the middle of the operation with two choices—go to prison, or risk her life to bring down the man at the helm.

CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience — including access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and our eternal parasocial friendship — we recommend signing up for a paid subscription.Paid subscribers also get access to The Weather Report, a new monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. In the latest installment, cyberethnographer Ruby Justice Thelot joins us to wax philosophical about the Labubu craze, matcha and “performative male” discourse, and why politicians are lifting weights in public. To whet your appetite, we're lifting the paywall on the episode for the next 48 hours. It's easy to get the impression these days that the traditional media industry is abandoning cultural criticism. Over the past few months, outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Chicago Tribune have been reassigning or letting go of veteran film, music, and theater critics, leaving some to debate what impact, if any, written criticism still has on the culture at large. Bucking this trend (and pretty much all mainstream media logic) is The Metrograph, a new biannual print magazine about cinema from the eponymous repertory theater in New York City's Chinatown. It's long, proudly niche, intentionally disconnected from the news cycle, and available only in print—with the goal of offering deep film fans an experience they won't be able to find online, while inviting a new generation of people into the culture. The recently released second issue includes a 42-page dive into Paul Morrissey's archives, author Gary Indiana's favorite films (RIP), a history of the Japanese pink film, a “cinemap” of Belgrade, and a comic about Jerry Lewis's infamous lost film The Day the Clown Cried. The cover, which we've cropped for this episode's artwork, features a painting by artist Louise Giovanelli inspired by Christina Ricci's character in Buffalo '66.Senior editor Annabel Brady-Brown (formerly of Australia's Fireflies Press) and editor-at-large Nick Pinkerton (film critic, screenwriter of The Sweet East, creator of the Substack Employee Picks, and a former coworker of Emilie's at Kim's Video) join us to discuss the past, present, and future of independent film criticism—and what it means to make a magazine for cinephiles in 2025. We also discuss why younger people in NYC seem to be gravitating back to the movies these days, and how the hyper-IRL, videostore-centric independent film culture of 20 years ago is a good template for what that might look like in the 2020s. Finally, we shout out some of the directors, movies, and micro publications that are making right now such an exciting time for cinema in NYC — and the repertory theaters and video stores we love around the world that are keeping the old Kim's Video spirit alive.Issue 2 of The Metrograph is out now.

Send us a textWhat does it take to transform a small pizzeria in Las Vegas' Chinatown into a nationally recognized restaurant? For Erica Bell, General Manager and Pizzaiola at ØØ Pie & Pub (Double Zero), the answer lies in obsessive attention to detail, authentic leadership, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. This week, we chat with Erica on the business.  In just two years of operation, Double Zero has achieved what many restaurants spend decades pursuing: recognition as one of the top 50 pizzerias in the United States. But this success story goes far beyond awards—it's a masterclass in building a restaurant culture that prioritizes quality, creativity, and genuine hospitality. The pizzeria celebrated the 43rd place ranking on the 50 Top Pizza list by offering $4.30 pizzas—a community giveback that resulted in 400 pizzas sold in four hours. Erica breaks down how they made the promotional event work flawlessly.  Bell's philosophy is deceptively simple: "You really have to have the right people in the right places because that's your foundation. My team is my foundation for the success of the business." This wasn't achieved overnight. Bell describes a crucial six-month period where significant shifts occurred, followed by three months of watching her team "rise up and feel the love and support from each other." The transformation required Bell to examine her own leadership approach and adapt her teaching methods to match how different team members learn. Listen to the full episode to learn more about Erica's approach to leadership and what's next for Double Zero. Learn more about Double Zero at https://www.doublezeropie.com/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/doublezeropiepub/.

New Orleans has long been known for its Spanish, French, and African influences, so it can be easy to overlook the role the Chinese have played in our culture and cuisine since the mid-1800s. On this week's show, we explore the Chinese in the Crescent City – yesterday and today. First, we hear from the Historic New Orleans Collection's Winston Ho, who fills us in on the captivating history of the Chinese community here. He talks about the earliest restaurants that cropped up during Reconstruction, the Crescent City's short-lived Chinatown, and the substantial Chinese impact on the local seafood industry. Then, we fast forward to the present day to learn about Miss Shirley's Chinese Restaurant on Magazine Street – named best new restaurant in Louisiana by Southern Magazine in 2024. We visit with the restaurant's namesake, the vivacious Miss Shirley Lee, whose Royal China Restaurant in Metairie drew customers from all over the metro area for four decades. We chat with Miss Shirley about why her retirement only lasted a year – and meet her daughter, Carling, who is carrying her parents' traditions into the next generation.

For many artists, an art career takes many twists and turns—an adventure shaped by different mediums, jobs, and ways of sustaining creative work  while at the same time, educating oneself with the histories of your chosen path.  On this episode of The Unfinished Print: A Mokuhanga Podcast, I speak with printmaker Charles Spitzack. We talk about his discovery of mokuhanga and how it connects to his broader printmaking practice. Charles shares his early experiences making mokuhanga, his teaching methods, and how his understanding of the medium developed through a Western American perspective. He also speaks about his time at the Mokuhanga Project Space, and his thoughts on the differences between oil-based and water-based mokuhanga.

More info can be found, here.  Mokuhanga (木版画) - is a Japanese word meaning "wood" and "print." Traditionally, it refers to a relief printing method using woodblocks, water, natural handmade papers, and water-based pigments. With the rise of the sōsaku hanga (creative print) movement in the early to mid 20th century, mokuhanga expanded to include works made with Western oil pigments as well. Today, mokuhanga can be difficult to define, as many artists experiment with new approaches while others remain dedicated to traditional water-based methods. This balance between innovation and tradition shows that mokuhanga is limitless, continually evolving while still grounded in its past. sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Stephen Hazel (1934-20120 - was a painter and printmaker based in the Pacific Northwest. He created works on paper, and educated upon the subject.

Unlike most printmaking methods, where multiple copies of the same image can be produced, a monotype typically has a single, one-of-a-kind image. It's called a "mono" type because it is not part of an edition like traditional prints (e.g., lithographs, etchings), where you can make multiple copies.  Mike Lyon  -  is an American artist. His medium has varied throughout his career such as "square tiles," or "pixels," through to making mokuhanga, monoprinting, and machine-assisted etching, drawing and mezzotint.

Inspired by the ideals of John Ruskin (1819-1900) and William Morris (1834-1896) in Britain, the movement in the United States was closely tied to architecture, furniture making, and decorative arts, promoting honesty and a functional beauty.  There was a link with social reform, criticizing modernity and industry and fostering communities of makers across the country.

In this lively episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes two fantastic children's authors: Dan Gutman and Kimberly Tso. First up, Dan Gutman returns to the show to chat about his brand-new middle grade novel, The Picasso Curse. Dan shares the fascinating real-life history behind the book—did you know Pablo Picasso was once a suspect in the theft of the Mona Lisa? Dan reveals how this “what if” moment inspired his story about a modern-day kid who stumbles upon a lost Picasso sketch at a flea market, only to discover that sudden fame and fortune come with unexpected challenges. The conversation dives into themes like decision anxiety, the pressures of growing up today, and the importance of encouraging kids to dream big and talk about their aspirations. Next, Jed sits down with Kimberly Tso, author of the delightful new picture book Tic Tac Toe Chicken. Kimberly's story is inspired by a real chicken in New York City's Chinatown that was trained to play tic-tac-toe against visitors! She discusses how her childhood memories and a desire to see the world through a child's eyes shaped the book, which follows a young girl named Beatrice as she questions the ethics of the chicken's life and ultimately helps rescue it. Kimberly and Jed explore the unique culture of Chinatown, the power of empathy, and the value of listening to children's perspectives. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or young reader, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughter, and thoughtful insights into the creative process behind two unique children's books. Don't forget to check out The Picasso Curse and Tic Tac Toe Chicken at your local bookstore or library, and keep the conversation going with your kids about art, dreams, and seeing the world in new ways!

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est le nom de notre série d'été sur RFI. On vous emmène explorer les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. Aujourd'hui, direction Port-Louis à l'île Maurice, où les Chinois ne représentent que 3 % de la population, mais leur présence rayonne bien au-delà des chiffres. La communauté chinoise est à la fois discrète, bien intégrée, métissée et économiquement influente. Le Nouvel An chinois est d'ailleurs un jour férié dans l'île. Au cœur du Chinatown mauricien, traditions, gastronomie et mémoire des anciens se mêlent aux visages de toutes les communautés.  De notre correspondant à Port-Louis, Dans les ruelles de Chinatown à Port-Louis, le mandarin résonne encore. Aujourd'hui, notre présence attire la curiosité. Aaron Kwang Poon nous accompagne. Né ici, il connaît l'histoire des commerçants chinois à Maurice. « Au pic de leur activité, il y avait environ 300 boutiques chinoises à travers Maurice. Pratiquement dans chaque village, il y avait au moins une boutique chinoise. » Ces petits commerces ont nourri l'île pendant des décennies avant et après l'indépendance. Ils ont approvisionné la population en denrées de base, tissant leurs racines dans chaque communauté locale. Pour sa part, Chinatown à Port-Louis reste un haut lieu du commerce. Dans les rues, on croise davantage une population locale diverse que des Mauriciens d'origine chinoise. Mais les grands symboles sont là : l'arc monumental de la rue Royale, ombrelles, et lanternes qui ponctuent façades et allées, ainsi que les enseignes en caractère chinois. C'est ici qu'Amélie, 88 ans, venue de la ville la plus éloignée de Port-Louis, fait ses courses : « J'habite à Curepipe. Je viens acheter des choses, ce qui me manque. » « Tous les Mauriciens adorent ça » Elle s'arrête devant une épicerie Yue Hwa, rue Dr Sun Yat Sen. Dans ce petit espace, un concentré de Chine : « Des ailerons de requin, des nids d'hirondelles, et des œufs de 100 ans », détaille le commerçant. Produits rares, nouilles, graines, fruits séchés, ustensiles, tout l'univers culinaire chinois dans quelques mètres carrés. La gastronomie chinoise est le fast-food préféré dans l'île : « Les nouilles frites, les "mines frites", le riz frit et les boulettes sont devenus des plats mauriciens. » Siddick Yerally, 82 ans, se joint à la conversation. Dans le quartier, tout le monde l'appelle Nala : « Tous les Mauriciens adorent ça ! Même rue Desforges, il y a un restaurant chinois musulman, halal, et c'est rempli tous les soirs. » Nala est musulman, marié à une Chinoise. Certains l'appellent Ah Young. Il siège à la Chinatown Foundation et il veut nous montrer les trésors du quartier : « Là, je vais vous emmener à la pagode, elle appartient au clan des Chan. » Une communauté influente Les descendants chinois de Maurice ont maintenu les liens claniques. Il existe une bonne dizaine de clans chinois à Maurice. À 200 mètres, nous découvrons une autre pagode, celle du clan Fock qui trône au 9e étage d'un immeuble résidentiel. Dans la pagode, des stèles en bois portent les noms des ancêtres, sous le regard de Kwan Tee, le guerrier légendaire. Au rez-de-chaussée, rencontre avec Bernard Li Kwong Ken qui nous explique ce que son nom dit de ses racines et de son identité : « En Chine, je m'appellerais Li Sui Chong. Nous gardons à travers les générations le nom du clan Li. Mon grand frère, c'est Li Kwet Chong, moi Li Sui Chong, mon petit frère Li Moy Chong. » Li (ou Lee), c'est le lien commun. Bernard est un descendant du clan Li, le deuxième nom le plus répandu de Chine. Comme beaucoup de Sino-Mauriciens, il porte aussi un prénom catholique. La plupart fréquentent l'église, héritage de l'intégration mauricienne. Cependant, cette population décline : de 40 000 âmes dans les années 1980 à environ 12 000 aujourd'hui. Les jeunes émigrent vers l'Australie, le Canada. Malgré cela, les Sino-Mauriciens demeurent une influente communauté économique dans l'île.

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série spéciale de RFI. Nous vous emmenons à la découverte des quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. Aujourd'hui, direction Mexico. Installé dans une rue du centre-ville, son Chinatown est le plus petit quartier chinois du monde. Plusieurs générations de Chinois s'y succèdent depuis l'arrivée des fondateurs, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Mais de plus en plus, les commerces chinois s'étendent hors des frontières du quartier et éclosent dans tout le centre-ville. De quoi réveiller la colère des commerçants mexicains.

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série d'été de RFI qui vous emmène dans les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. À Sydney, en Australie, un peu plus de 10% de la population est d'origine chinoise. C'est particulièrement vrai dans le quartier très dynamique de Burwood, où près d'un habitant sur deux est d'origine chinoise. Il abrite par ailleurs un marché de nuit où se pressent chaque année près de 10 millions de visiteurs, attirés par les délices de la gastronomie chinoise. Ce quartier, à l'image de la communauté sino-australienne dans son ensemble, reflète également un basculement politique des conservateurs vers le parti travailliste.  De notre correspondant à Sydney,

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série d'été de RFI qui vous emmène dans les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde sur tous les continents. On s'arrête aujourd'hui en Afrique du Sud, pays qui compte la plus importante communauté chinoise du continent. Les premiers migrants sont arrivés dès le XVIIᵉ siècle, envoyés au Cap par les autorités coloniales en tant que prisonniers ou esclaves. Après plusieurs vagues de migration, on estime aujourd'hui que cette communauté compte entre 250 000 et 350 000 personnes. À Johannesburg, deux Chinatown distincts retracent leur histoire.  De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Sur la rue Commissioner, le magasin Sui Hing Hong est une institution. Malgré le déclin et la dégradation du vieux centre-ville, il continue vaillamment à rappeler à tous que se trouvait ici, le premier Chinatown de Johannesburg. C'est la mère de Gloria Pon qui a ouvert cette boutique dans les années 1940. « Elle disait qu'elle voulait établir un endroit où il y aurait tous les produits chinois dont on avait besoin : nos médicaments, notre nourriture, des bols et des baguettes », se souvient sa fille. La communauté chinoise sud-africaine est le fruit de vagues successives de migration. À Johannesburg, des travailleurs sous contrats ont été envoyés dès la création de la ville, suite à la découverte d'or à la fin du XIXᵉ siècle. Mais la majorité de ces mineurs sont ensuite rentrés au pays. Ceux arrivés plus tard, pour faire fortune, de la région de Canton par exemple – comme la famille de Gloria Pon –, ont été interdits de licence minière en raison de leur couleur de peau et se sont tournés vers le commerce. Ils ont alors développé tout un petit écosystème au niveau de cette rue. Le frère de Gloria, Walter, est surnommé le « maire » de Chinatown, en raison de sa passion pour l'histoire de la communauté. « Voici un autre bâtiment très ancien, des années 1900. C'est la propriété du club chinois. En ces temps-là, lorsque les Chinois arrivaient en Afrique du Sud, ils n'avaient pas de famille. Donc ils étaient accueillis ici, jusqu'à ce qu'ils trouvent un travail. Et lorsqu'ils mourraient, qui les enterraient ? Le club », explique-t-il. L'octogénaire se souvient notamment de la vie sous apartheid et des discriminations subies : « Quand on voulait s'asseoir dans un train, il fallait aller dans la zone réservée aux Noirs, une zone qui était sale, détériorée. La zone des Blancs était toute propre, mais on ne pouvait pas y accéder. » À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: l'August House, la grande colocation d'artistes en plein centre de Johannesburg Aujourd'hui, ne reste que quelques restaurants, témoins de cette histoire, ainsi que la boutique de feux d'artifices tenue par un autre frère de la famille Pon. Il faut se rendre à une poignée de kilomètres de là, dans l'ancienne banlieue juive de Cyrildene, pour découvrir le deuxième Chinatown de Johannesburg. Ce sont d'autres flux de migration qui lui ont donné naissance : d'abord des Taïwanais, encouragés à venir dans les années 1980 par le gouvernement de l'apartheid qui entretenait des liens avec Taipei. Puis, il y a eu de nouvelles arrivées du centre de la Chine, lorsque la démocratie sud-africaine s'est rapprochée de Pékin. Evonne Chen, 22 ans, est serveuse dans un petit café situé au pied de l'immense arche colorée qui marque l'entrée du quartier. Dans sa famille, elle est la première génération née sur place : « Je travaille à mi-temps ici, car j'étudie également les ressources humaines. Ce sont mes grands-parents qui sont venus ici, vers 1992-1993. Nous n'avons pas l'intention de rentrer, puisque ici, c'est un très beau pays. Moi, je parle taïwanais et mandarin, car mes grands-parents ne parlent pas anglais. » Nous retrouvons à l'extérieur Ufrieda Ho, qui a beaucoup écrit sur le sujet, et notamment sur sa propre famille. Ces lieux sont finalement, pour elle, à l'image de la communauté : divers et composites. « Ce n'est pas un groupe homogène, il y a beaucoup de nuances et de différents contextes. Je pense que c'est pour ça que ces deux Chinatown sont distincts : cela raconte les différentes formes de migrations et leur interaction avec la politique sud-africaine de l'époque », explique-t-elle. Malgré de forts liens entre Pékin et Pretoria, deux membres des Brics, les conditions économiques ont rendu l'Afrique du Sud moins attractive, ces dernières années, pour les nouveaux migrants chinois.

The suspect in an acid attack in Chinatown appears in court. Some Hawaii Island residents woke up to a fire watch after a wildfire broke out shortly after midnight.

This episode, which is co-hosted with Delaney Chieyen Holton, features Dr. K. Ian Shin discussing his recently published book, Imperial Stewards: Chinese Art and the Making of America's Pacific Century (Standford UP, 2025). Imperial Stewards argues that, beyond aesthetic taste and economics, geopolitics were critical to the United States' transformation into possessing some of the world's largest and most sophisticated collections of Chinese art between the Gilded Age and World War II. Collecting and studying Chinese art and antiquities honed Americans' belief that they should dominate Asia and the Pacific Ocean through the ideology of imperial stewardship—a view that encompassed both genuine curiosity and care for Chinese art, and the enduring structures of domination and othering that underpinned the burgeoning transpacific art market. Tracing networks across both the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, K. Ian Shin uncovers a diverse cast of historical actors that both contributed to US imperial stewardship and also challenged it, including Protestant missionaries, German diplomats, Chinese-Hawaiian merchants, and Chinese overseas students, among others. By examining the development of Chinese art collecting and scholarship in the United States around the turn of the twentieth century, Imperial Stewards reveals both the cultural impetus behind Americans' long-standing aspirations for a Pacific Century and a way to understand—and critique—the duality of US imperial power around the globe. Ian Shin is Assistant Professor of History and American Culture at the University of Michigan, where he is also a core faculty member in the Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program. In addition to Imperial Stewards, his articles and reviews on topics that range from the Boy Scout movement in New York's Chinatown to the role of colleges and universities in 19th-century U.S.-China relations to the history of museums of American art have appeared in Amerasia Journal, Journal of Asian American Studies, Journal of American-East Asian Relations, and Connecticut Historical Review.

Mókus, hamis Rolex, Harlem és a magyar rap hőskora – Animal Cannibals Amerikában   Ebben a MÓKA Podcast epizódban két ikonikus magyar figura, Qka MC és Ricsipí, vagyis az Animal Cannibals, mesélnek az első amerikai útjukról.   Hogyan jutottak be Amerikába? Miért kellett CD-t feláldozni a vízumért? Milyen volt Harlem a '90-es évek végén? És hogyan lehetett 10 dollár alatt teljes ruhatárat vásárolni New Yorkban?   Ez a rész egy időutazás a magyar rap fénykorába sok nevetéssel, emlékezetes sztorikkal és kulturális különbségekkel. A fiúk mesélnek arról is, hogy:  • hogyan lett a MÓKA Podcast neve a „Jó ebédhez szól a nóta” mintájára  • milyen volt a 9/11 tragédiát élőben követni New Yorkból  • hogyan vette le egy mókus a hamis Rolexet a Fehér Ház előtt  • miért szerettek a kínai negyedben vásárolni  • és mit tanultak az ottani magyar diaszpórától   A podcast során kiderül, hogy magyarokként hogyan lehet boldogulni Amerikában, és hogy egy rapduó hogyan válik nemcsak előadóvá, hanem kultúraközvetítővé is.   Ez az epizód nemcsak szórakoztató, hanem tanulságos is. Tele nosztalgiával, valós sztorikkal és magyar büszkeséggel.

When we try to represent languages on a map, it's common to assign each language a zone or a point which represents some idea of where it's used or where it comes from. But in reality, people move around, and many cities are host to hundreds of languages that don't show up on official records. In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about urban multilingualism! We talk about a recent book we've been enjoying called Language City by Ross Perlin, about the over 700 languages spoken in New York City, as well as how we've noticed urban multilingualism for ourselves in Melbourne, Montreal, and elsewhere. We also talk about organizations that work with communities interested in reclaiming space for their languages, what linguistic rights are, and how to tell if yours are being taken away from you. Click here for a link to this episode in your podcast player of choice: Read the transcript here: Announcements: In this month's bonus episode we get enthusiastic about linguistic landscapes! We talk about contrasts between the signs in the Chinatowns of Montreal and Melbourne, renaming streets from colonial names to names in First Nations languages, how signs can show the shifting demographics of tourism in an area, and how bi- and multilingual Lost Cat signs show what languages people think their neighbours understand. We also talk about our most absurd sign stories, including the Russell Family Apology Plaque, and creative imaginings of official signage, such as the Latin no-smoking sign in a modern-day British train station.

One of the fascinating ironies about Los Angeles is that it is often movies in heightened genres like noir that best capture what the city really feels like to those born and raised in it (like this podcaster). Movies like Billy Wilder's acidic Hollywood takedown classic Sunset Boulevard and Roman Polanski's & Robert Towne's 70's new cinema classic Chinatown show sides of the city with a denizen's inside baseball knowledge. But there's also a neorealist strain in the films of John Cassavettes, Charles Burnett, and others that shows Los Angeles from a working class and middle class ground level. The way we actually live our life here. And finally, oddly, 60's and 70's B movies like 1977's totally couldn't be made today "The Van" show LA as it is because the moviemakers couldn't afford a budget to dress it up.

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est le nom de notre série d'été sur RFI. On vous emmène explorer les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. C'est à Lima, au Pérou, que se trouve la plus grande communauté chinoise du continent sud-américain. Là-bas, impossible de passer à côté de l'influence culturelle, gastronomique et même économique des immigrés chinois, arrivés dès le milieu du XIXe siècle aux pays des Incas. Passez la grande porte rouge traditionnelle, gardée par deux lions en pierre... Et bienvenue au Barrio Chino.

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est une série d'été de RFI qui vous emmène dans les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde sur tous les continents. Aujourd'hui, direction le Chinatown de Bangkok où les vieilles échoppes familiales, ateliers de métaux, bijouteries, témoignent encore du passage de générations de migrants chinois. Le quartier conserve son charme vivant, mais accueille aussi de nouvelles adresses branchées qui attirent, et donc se gentrifie. Au grand dam de certains vieux commerces qui peinent à s'adapter.

Dans mon Chinatown, c'est le nom de notre série d'été. On vous emmène explorer les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. Aujourd'hui, direction Londres, au Royaume-Uni, dont le Chinatown est l'un des quartiers touristiques incontournables pour qui veut découvrir la capitale britannique. Située dans l'hypercentre de la capitale, on y trouve des restaurants réputés. Comme une vitrine pour la culture chinoise et panasiatique. Mais la présence chinoise à Londres cache une face plus sombre, moins instagrammable. De notre correspondante à Londres, On se trouve ici au cœur de Londres. À deux pas du West End, le quartier des théâtres. Les noms de rue sont écrits en anglais et en chinois. Des lampions surplombent les allées, une immense arche bleue et dorée marque l'entrée de Chinatown, un quartier gourmand, où cette restauratrice est installée depuis 20 ans : « Bonjour, je m'appelle Ellen Chew, j'ai fondé les restaurants Chew. Chinatown, c'est un endroit vraiment important pour moi. Je viens ici quand mon pays me manque. Je viens ici pour la gastronomie, mais cela va au-delà de ça : Chinatown, c'est une communauté d'amis. On vient ici pour manger, mais surtout pour être entre amis. » Son secret : un fabricant traditionnel de nouilles dans une ruelle dérobée. La Singapourienne l'assure : sous des façades bling-bling, Chinatown reste très authentique. Bien que mal nommée. « Quand je suis arrivée il y a 20 ans, on trouvait surtout du canard laqué, des Dim Sums, quelques Japonais, mais surtout de la cuisine cantonaise. Aujourd'hui, ça a changé. On trouve des restaurants malaisiens, singapouriens, vietnamiens, thaïs. Chinatown aujourd'hui, c'est plutôt Asiatown. » Beaucoup plus à l'est, l'ancien quartier des Docks. C'est le Chinatown originel où se sont installé les premiers immigrants chinois, des marins, au 19ᵉ siècle, un quartier rasé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. À deux pas d'ici, la Chine souhaite construire une nouvelle ambassade, juste en face du mythique Tower Bridge. Et ça, ça inquiète fortement la diaspora chinoise et hongkongaise « Non à la répression transnationale chinoise. Non à la méga-ambassade ! Le Parti communiste chinois va s'en servir pour nous espionner, nous les Hongkongais, et les autres. Et c'est dangereux pour la sécurité nationale britannique ! » C'est aussi ici qu'on rencontre Carmen Lau, une activiste hongkongaise qui possède le statut de « citoyenne britannique d'Outre-mer ». Élue locale pro-démocratie, elle a dû fuir Hong-Kong en 2021. Mais continue de subir la répression chinoise. « Le régime chinois et le gouvernement hongkongais ont placé une prime sur ma tête et sur celles d'autres activistes, mes voisins au Royaume-Uni ont reçu des lettres pour les inviter à me livrer à l'ambassade chinoise. Je trouve que le gouvernement britannique n'en fait pas assez pour lutter contre cette forme de répression. » Ces dernières années, 150 000 Hongkongais ont demandé l'asile au Royaume-Uni. Pour Carmen Lau, même à 10 000 km de chez elle, cette diaspora a un rôle à jouer pour l'avenir de Hong Kong. « Nous essayons de recréer notre société civile, nos mouvements de défense des droits humains. Et puis, en tant que Britannique d'Outre-mer, nous avons le droit de vote ici. À nous d'activer ce pouvoir au nom de nos droits. » Si le projet est validé, l'ambassade compterait parmi les plus grandes d'Europe – une sorte de Chinatown de verre et de béton, bien loin des lampions et des canards laqués du West End.   À lire aussiDans mon Chinatown: Lagos, une ville d'opportunités pour les ressortissants chinois

« Dans mon Chinatown », c'est le nom de notre série d'été sur RFI. On vous emmène explorer les quartiers chinois des grandes villes du monde. Aujourd'hui, direction le Chinatown de New York, l'un des plus vieux au monde. Situé dans le sud de Manhattan, il fait face de nos jours à de nombreux défis. Entre les aléas de la politique internationale des États-Unis et les projets de développement locaux, ses habitants tentent malgré tout de préserver leur communauté. Arriver à Chinatown le matin, c'est arriver dans un quartier qui se réveille en douceur. Dans une ville où tout va vite, ce quartier semble parfois suspendu dans le temps. « Là, on est devant le tout premier immeuble d'appartements de New York, vieux de plus de 200 ans. » Grace Young connaît Chinatown comme personne. Celle que les médias ont surnommée la « reine du wok », pour son expertise de la cuisine chinoise, nous a donné rendez-vous sur Mott Street, là où tout a commencé : « Les premiers à avoir vécu ici étaient les immigrés irlandais, puis les Italiens, et ensuite les juifs. Et ce n'est probablement qu'à la fin des années 1800 que les premiers Chinois sont arrivés. » À New York, Chinatown a toujours été l'une des destinations les plus prisées des touristes. Mais marcher dans les rues aujourd'hui révèle une autre histoire. « On tourne à gauche sur Canal Street. Au loin, vous voyez Lung Moon Bakery, qui a fermé durant la pandémie de Covid-19. Là, il y avait un marché et maintenant, c'est un horrible magasin de souvenirs ''I Love New York'', qui n'apporte absolument rien au quartier », raconte Grace Young. Durant la pandémie de Covid, l'économie de Chinatown a été durement touchée. Des dizaines de commerces ont fermé. Ceux qui existent encore font face à de nombreux défis. « Nous entrons dans Grand Tea Imports », indique Karen Liu. Ses parents ont ouvert ce magasin il y a plus de 20 ans. Elle ajoute : « Vous remarquerez que les étagères sont pleines à craquer. On a du thé, des théières, des tasses mais aussi de l'encens et des objets traditionnels qu'on importe de Chine. » À lire aussiDroits de douane: les États-Unis prolongent de 90 jours la détente avec la Chine Ces derniers mois, ils n'ont qu'une chose en tête : comment survivre aux taxes douanières imposées par les États-Unis ? Karen Liu confie : « Chinatown ne peut pas exister sans les importations chinoises. On est aussi un quartier populaire, donc on essaie de garder nos prix abordables. Donc, même 30% de droits de douane, cela pèse énormément sur nos marges qui sont déjà très très faibles. » En plus de la guerre commerciale, Chinatown doit faire face à la gentrification qui ne cesse de faire flamber les loyers. La famille d'Alice Choi-Barrick possède une société de distribution de fruits et légumes. Après 40 ans dans le quartier, ils ont dû abandonner leurs locaux. « La pandémie a évidemment tout changé. Quand les autres commerces qu'on fournit en produits ont fermé, on a perdu des clients. Et cela nous a mis dans une situation financière délicate. Nous n'avons pas eu le choix et nous avons déménagé dans un entrepôt dans le Queens », explique-t-elle.  Comme Alice et sa famille, ils sont nombreux à s'installer dans les Chinatown du Queens ou de Brooklyn. Le Chinatown de Manhattan, lui, compte désormais moins de 30 000 habitants d'origine chinoise. Une réalité contre laquelle se bat Grace Young, qui espère préserver ces quartiers historiques : « Ces quartiers nous lient à notre passé. S'ils disparaissent, on perd une part de nous-mêmes. » À lire aussiDans mon Chinatown: Lagos, une ville d'opportunités pour les ressortissants chinois

Sue Ko Lee (1910-1996) was a labor organizer who participated in one of the longest strikes in the history of San Francisco’s Chinatown. She and other garment workers joined forces with a white-led union to win better pay and shorter hours — and a huge victory for the Chinese American workforce.

We’ll be talking about Pink Collar Workers: women who revolutionized jobs that have traditionally been called "women's work." Through their lives, they created a more just and humane world for us today. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.
