Podcast appearances and mentions of ed wong

In this episode, Ed Wong, diplomatic correspondent and former Beijing Bureau Chief for the New York Times, joins us to discuss his new book, Edge of Empire: A Family's Reckoning with China. Ed's father, Yook Kearn Wong, lived through the Japanese occupation and the Communist Revolution in China. Captivated by Mao's vision of a powerful China, he served in the People's Liberation Army during the Korean War and later served in Xinjiang. By 1962, disillusioned with the Communist Party, he made a daring escape to Hong Kong.Ed's book is one part a family memoir and one part a reflection of Ed's experiences in China both as a student and as a journalist. We discuss the legacies of empire, China's frontiers, what the Qing Dynasty means for China today, and how memories of the past continue to be used and misused in the PRC.

The central character of New York Times correspondent Ed Wong's memoir, At the Edge of Empire, is not Wong himself — it's his father, who studied in Beijing in the 1950s and staunchly supported the Chinese Communist Revolution. Wong's book traces his father's disillusionment with Mao's government and eventual move to the U.S. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about intertwining his family's personal story with the greater history of his parents' home country, and what Americans can still stand to learn about Chinese citizens.

Cet épisode est une expérience, sans doute une première en France. J'ai voulu le faire sur cet épisode car il est passionnant et je suis sur qu'il va vous intéresser. Ce que vous allez entendre n'est pas ma voix ni celle de mon invitée mais une traduction et un doublage intégral en français par une intelligence artificielle. Ed Wong est un journaliste qui a remporté le prix Pultizer pour son travail sur les animaux, c'est également, l'auteur acclamé de "d'un monde immense", un livre qui redéfinit notre compréhension des sens des animaux et du tissu même de la réalité. Aujourd'hui, Ed se plonge dans le monde kaléidoscopique de l'Umwelt, les expériences sensorielles uniques de différentes espèces d'animaux avec un focus particulier sur les chiens parce que j'avais envie de parler d'un animal proche de nous et que j'adore les chiens moi-même. Nous verrons comment le nez d'un chien modifie radicalement sa compréhension du monde, nous percerons les mystères de la communication des baleines en haute mer et nous nous interrogerons même sur les perceptions électriques des abeilles. Les réflexions d'Ed vont des chiens empathiques qui se mettent à l'écoute de nos émotions à l'idée stupéfiante de sentir le passé et l'avenir, et il nous met au défi de réévaluer nos points de vue centrés sur l'homme. Cet épisode est un appel à embrasser la richesse des diverses perspectives de la vie, un rappel de notre cognition limitée et une incitation à cultiver une empathie plus profonde pour tous les êtres vivants. Alors, ouvrez votre esprit, préparez vos sens et apprêtez-vous à entrer dans les pattes, les nageoires et les ailes des incroyables créatures de la Terre. Cet épisode sur Vlan va vous ouvrir les yeux, ou plutôt les sens.

Ed Wong, EVP and Chief Digital Officer, at Smart & Final joins us on the Digital Grocer Podcast at NRF 2020. Ed shares the process of selecting the right grocery eCommerce solution for Smart & Final. He explains the unique challenges of serving both household and business customers and advice for approaching the specific requirements that come with that. When selecting an eCommerce provider, Ed explains two important requirements that Smart & Final had, “To control how we would want the customer experience to be, and be able to select a partner who’s going to be able to say ‘well, we’ve been there and done that’, versus, let’s say, engaging with one of the more legacy platforms where they would still need to configure and learn how to really adapt into grocery had been some of the initial requirements that we started with.” Control over brand experience was a major factor for seeking out a new platform. “For us, we had a very specific objective in mind in terms of what we wanted to do. We were operating under the Instacart’s powered by Instacart white-label platform and certainly I think as the evolution of, not just us, but also Instacart and the marketplace, I mean that was deemed appropriate for us to consider how to have a better control over our own brand experience, that we would want to maximize.” Sylvain and Ed talk about the unique challenges that come offering online shopping experiences for both household and business customers. Is offering B2B eCommerce just reduced functionality, or is there more to the story? Tune in to the podcast to learn more about how grocery retailers can find the best eCommerce solution for their business.

This week on the Sinica Podcast, Kaiser and Jeremy are joined by Eric Olander, host of the China in Africa Podcast from the China Africa Project, and by Anzetse Were, a developmental economist based in Nairobi. They explore questions related to Kenyan debt and development, as well as Sino-American competition in East Africa. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 10:33: When did China begin to put concerted diplomatic effort into relations with African countries? What were the optics of China’s push into the African continent? Anzetse highlights three examples that led to China’s success in dealing with businesses and governments: “[Chinese diplomats] are quite humble in their articulation, certainly to African people, saying, ‘While this has been the Chinese experience, we don’t know what you want, what you can learn and what you don’t want to learn.’ So they’re not prescriptive. But of course the biggest thing that African governments like is that they don’t lecture about anything.” 19:05: Is China leading African countries into “debt traps”? What are the primary causes for concern regarding the debts of African governments, and the wider international community? Anzetse explains that it’s a confluence of factors, including transparency issues and the effects of kindling trade relationships with new partners: “There is concern in the global north, particularly Europe and North America, as to reexposure in African governments to debt…and their concern is that they’re doing it with a party that the world does not really understand in terms of how it deals with debt defaults and how it deals with repayments owed. I think that Europe and North America were much more comfortable when debt owed was in their hands, obviously because they had [control], but I think because they had a common understanding on how this would be addressed. They do not know how the Chinese are going to do this.” 42:21: America is restructuring the way it provides aid to the rest of the world through the International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) and the Better Utilization of Investments Leading to Development Act (BUILD Act), in an attempt to compete with China in the developing world. How effective is this restructuring? Eric provides some insight: “It’s not challenging China at all. It’s not intended to challenge China. Instead, they actually complement each other very, very well. So, a country like Kenya can turn to China for infrastructure and massive loans from the Chinese for a public sector type of development. But then, IDFC and the U.S. come in to fund American business and Kenyan business that can’t get funding anywhere else.” 49:36: What effect is the Belt and Road Initiative having in Africa? What about the African countries that are excluded from the plans, as China has made inroads, for the most part, on Africa’s eastern seaboard? Anzetse states: “I think the Chinese began to understand, ‘We do not want to start dividing African sentiments on China, we’re going to find a way to make sure all the regions in Africa are represented in this Belt and Road Initiative. Whether it will be practical is not clear.” Recommendations: Jeremy: I Didn't Do It for You: How the World Betrayed a Small African Nation and In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz: Living on the Brink of Disaster in Mobutu's Congo, both by Michela Wrong.

Though the cult of Mao Zedong has long subsided, there has been speculation that a personality cult is being crafted around Chinese President Xi Jinping, which comes amidst a sweeping crackdown on dissent. But is the public buying it? In this episode, former New York Times Beijing Bureau Chief Ed Wong speaks with the Center on U.S.-China Relations' Orville Schell about China’s “adaptive authoritarianism," the prospects for political change, and relations with the United States in the age of Trump.

The spectacular trial of Bo Xilai seized the media's attention last week as the fallen politburo member — still widely admired in Chongqing and Dalian and heavily connected among the Party elite — defended himself with unexpected vigor against charges of corruption, and hardly paused to implicate his wife and subordinates in murder, mutual poisoning and financial skullduggery. This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy host two guests: Ed Wong from The New York Times and James Miles of The Economist for a closer look at what some Chinese commentators are calling China's "trial of the century." Join us for an in-depth discussion of the trial which looks at not only what this means for media transparency in China, but also makes historical comparisons with previous political purges, including the famous case against Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four following the Cultural Revolution.
