As globalisation continues languages are disappearing faster than ever, leaving our planet's linguistic diversity leaping towards extinction. The science of how languages are acquired is becoming more advanced and the internet is bringing us new ways of teaching the next generation, however it is increasingly challenging for minority languages to survive in the face of a handful of hegemonic 'super-tongues'. In Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language (Zed Books, 2021), James Griffiths reports from the frontlines of the battle to preserve minority languages, from his native Wales, Hawaii and indigenous American nations, to southern China and Hong Kong. He explores the revival of the Welsh language as a blueprint for how to ensure new generations are not robbed of their linguistic heritage, outlines how loss of indigenous languages is the direct result of colonialism and globalisation and examines how technology is both hindering and aiding the fight to prevent linguistic extinction. Introducing readers to compelling characters and examining how indigenous communities are fighting for their languages, Griffiths ultimately explores how languages hang on, what happens when they don't, and how indigenous tongues can be preserved and brought back from the brink. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Recent visits to Taiwan by U.S. House Rep. Nancy Pelosi and a delegation of five U.S. lawmakers earlier this week have set the stage for rising tensions in the Taiwan strait.Beijing claims Taiwan as its own territory and sees U.S. visits as encouragement for Taiwan's pro-independence movement.

The hyper-miniscule components are used in everything from your phone, computer, car and even military fighter jets. So important is Taiwan's involvement in the industry that some argue it could even deter a war.The Globe's Asia correspondent James Griffiths is on the show to talk about how Taiwan came to dominate the industry and why it's crucial to the delicate geopolitical situation today.

On this episode of the podcast, I meet James Griffiths. James is a pottery artist living in Madison WI. James had started out working in retail but wanted to try making pottery full-time. We talk about how that transition to a full-time artist started and how James ended up opening their own pottery studio called The Kiln Shed in a space on Madison's east side!

Many columns of type have been spread across the decades in the music press when it comes to Squeeze. However, very few books on the band have been published. Taking into account the crucial formative years in the global public eye, music journalist James Griffiths has penned 'The Pop Music Played,' a detailed deep-dive into the years 1978-1982. This time period - considered 'classic' by Squeeze fans - has rarely been chronicled as much as Griffiths has put to print in book form. In this podcast, he talks about not only his book but how how and where his musical inclinations started, how the band grew from small town pub group to Madison Square Garden headliners, all with a good-natured interplay from someone who has given us more to love (and read) about Squeeze. James' book can be purchased on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Squeeze-Music-Played-Story-1978-1982/dp/1739957407 and brick-and-mortar stores wherever good books are sold. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The 26 million residents of Shanghai have been dealing with strict lockdown conditions since late March due to China's zero-Covid strategy.

China believes in internet sovereignty, whereby each country should control its' own internet. And it is looking to influence Internet governance and free speech policies through international organizations and the UN. Most recently, Russia has implemented controls on its' citizens access to internet information following China's example.

Language is considered humankind's greatest achievement. But all over the world many indigenous languages are racing towards extinction not because they are simply dying out, but because they are being undermined by the powerful at the expense of the powerless says journalist James Griffiths. He looks at the ways globalization and colonialism rob us of our linguistic heritage in his new book called Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language.

The 2022 Winter Olympics are on in Beijing. It's the first city in the world to host both a winter and summer Games (the latter of which happened back in 2008). These Games are shaping up to be much different. COVID-19 restrictions and a diplomatic boycott by a number of countries put a bit of a damper on the hype.Asia correspondent James Griffiths is in Beijing. He tells us what it's like inside the Olympic bubble and how politics are playing into these Games.

We spoke to James Griffiths, Co-Founder and Technical Director of Cyber Security Associates (CSA), on the need to improve partnerships between technology companies and the government.

In this episode, Jeremiah and David talk with James Griffiths, Asia Correspondent for the Globe and Mail, about his new book Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language. This podcast can be considered the third installment of a trilogy of Barbarian at the Gate episodes that deal with the politics of language and dialects in China (see the links to the earlier podcasts below). Our previous guest Gina Anne Tam aptly sums up Griffiths' research topic in her dustjacket review of the book: “Speak Not is a beautifully narrated and intensely smart global history of how languages are destroyed. From Hong Kong to Wales, Hawaii to South Africa, Griffiths artfully guides us through intimate stories of people fighting over decades, often in vain, to protect their linguistic heritage and identities, stories that, when taken together, reveal an oft-unexplored aspect of the ‘disasters wrought' by colonialism, nationalism, and global inequality.” In addition to insights from the revitalization of Welsh, one of Griffiths' native tongues, the podcast delves deeply into the recent plight of Cantonese in Hong Kong and the mainland minority languages of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia. Links to: “Mandarin Mayhem” April 10, 2020 “Mandarin Mayhem, Part II: Dialect and Nationalism in China” June 02, 2020  The Great Firewall of China “A residential school system in China is stripping Tibetan children of their languages and culture, report claims” The Globe and Mail  December 7, 2021David Moser, A Billion Voices: China's Search for a Common Language (Penguin, 2016)

This weekend, Hong Kongers head to the polls to elect their government. Well, to elect 20 of the 90 seats in their Legislative Council – and from a roster of candidates carefully vetted by the Communist Party of China in Beijing.The Globe's Asia correspondent James Griffiths tells us how Hong Kong's normally boisterous election has been quieted by the new national security law, and why it's still going ahead despite critics calling it a sham.

As globalisation continues languages are disappearing faster than ever, leaving our planet's linguistic diversity spiralling towards extinction. In a new book, Hong Kong-based journalist James Griffiths looks at how minority languages are extinguished by government repression as well as dying out because of neglect. He reports on what is happening to Cantonese in beleaguered Hong Kong and explores how the revival of his native language, Welsh, has gone hand in hand with political activism. 

We convene a roundtable of climate change reporters from Argentina, South Africa and the Philippines to hear about the stories top of mind on their beats — from sea level rise to drought — as world leaders meet for COP26 in Glasgow. And, Yahoo is pulling out of China. The company points to the increasingly challenging business and legal environment in China for those decisions.James Griffiths, author of "The Great Firewall of China," joins us to discuss.

China's President Xi Jinping is unlikely to attend COP26, leaving some to wonder how countries will be able to agree on bold moves to lessen climate change without the leader of the world's highest carbon-emitting country at the table. Over the next two weeks, leaders from more than 190 countries will meet in Glasgow to talk about the state of climate change and how to transition to a low-carbon economy.The Globe's Asia correspondent James Griffiths explains why Xi Jinping isn't expected to attend, what it means for the success of COP26 and what exactly China's plans are for reducing emissions.

If development is to mean more than economic growth, then language should be on top of our agendas. The preservation of minority languages and the building of lingua franca is crucial for the cultural, social and civil well-being of societies. Development which values culture is inseparable from policies which preserve and languages. In this conversation with James Griffiths, the author of 'Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language', Zilun delves deep into the history and various cases of language revival policies to examine their beneficial impact on development.

China's second-largest property developer, Evergrande, owes about US$300-billion in liabilities, sparking fears that the property developer could default. But would Beijing allow such a huge company to fail?The Globe's Asia correspondent James Griffiths explains how Evergrande became a behemoth in a real estate market overrun with speculation, and why its current trouble started partly because of new government crackdowns on inequality in China.

Seven Hong Kong democracy activists were sentenced to prison this week for their roles in the 2019 protests that saw hundreds of thousands of people protesting, and many violent clashes with the city's police.That unrest continues to have a major impact on Hong Kong today, thanks to the national security law passed in its wake, which banned secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign powers. This broad law created a chilling effect on the city's once-vibrant pro-democracy movement and other civil society.Hong Kong-based Asia correspondent James Griffiths speaks with us from the city to explore how it has changed since the national security law was passed.

Once little more than a pornography filter, China's ‘Great Firewall' has evolved into the most sophisticated system of online censorship in the world. As the Chinese internet grows and online businesses thrive, speech is controlled, dissent quashed, and attempts to organise outside the official Communist Party are quickly stamped out. But the effects of the Great Firewall are not confined to China itself.In this week's episode James Griffiths tells Carl Miller about his years of investigation into the Great Firewall and the politicians, tech leaders, dissidents and hackers whose lives revolve around it.To pre-order the new version of James's book book click here: https://amzn.to/3xVi6qKFor FREE access to our live recording with Jude Law on Wednesday 18 click here and enter promo code 'PODCAST' at the checkout: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/jude-law-how-i-found-my-voice-registration-166901469789 Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/intelligencesquared.

It's been almost 1000 days since Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained by the Chinese government. The move was widely seen as retaliation for Canada arresting Chinese citizen Meng Wanzhou on behalf of the U.S. Now, Spavor has received an 11-year sentence for espionage, Kovrig's sentence is expected any time now, and Meng's extradition case could continue for years.The Globe's new Asia correspondent, James Griffiths, breaks down the politics at play between China, the U.S., Canada and Iran to untangle the threads that link these cases.Send a message to Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig as they near 1,000 days in detention in China.

What happens if you criticize the Chinese government on the internet? Can the government censor any opinion that it doesn't like or is there a line which it cannot cross? In this half of the two-part series on internet censorship in China, Zilun talks to James Griffiths about the anatomy of censorship in China and its implications on internet world-wide. If other developing countries follow the trend to censor the internet, what are its foreseeable consequences? The speaker, James Griffiths, is the author of the “Great Firewall of China: How to build and control an alternative version of the internet,” and “Speak Not: Empire, identity and the politics of language.” He is the incoming Asia correspondent for the Globe and Mail, and a former senior producer for CNN International.

What could the internet look like in the future, and how closely might it resemble what users in China experience?Kathryn speaks to James Griffiths, a Hong Kong-based journalist who has taken an in-depth look at the internet controls introduced by China that allow it to suppress information and prevent any sort of collective action of the kind it does not want. In his book, The Great Firewall of China: How to Build and Control an Alternative Version of the Internet, he tracks the history of the Chinese internet, peppering it with the experiences of many dissidents and dissenters who found themselves foul of the state's censors. He also looks at how Silicon Valley companies have aided China in its control, and points out Western tech companies are often stridently restrictive as well - but largely when it's in their own best interests.

IT'S THE RETURN OF THE WELSH WARRIOR! The Duke of Cardiff himself, prestigious CNN journalist James Griffiths is back on the pod and folks?? We got a little off topic!! But who gives a shit, you don't pay for this (yet) and what is a Knausgaard podcast without copious digression (the imitative fallacy can fuck right off)!!  Due what I am self diagnosing as fatigue from the J&J vaccine I am too tired to write a full fledged recap but some things we covered in this were: Drew's guide to seduction by email; being Eskimo brothers with Jonathan Safran Foer; Elif Batuman and ill-fated campus romances; the disappointing lack of defecation scenes in My Struggle; Morrissey's solo career; and of course Robert Caro's LBJ biography which James has been reading recently and in which he has found some interesting Knausgaard parallels.

Happy Thanksgiving (and to our Romanian listeners: happy thursday!)Last week we welcomed our friend, Hong Kong-based CNN correspondent James Griffiths, to the pod for what may be our smartest episode yet. Apparently the scintillating genius of our show is what spurred James to finally crack open My Struggle: A Death in the Family, so we interviewed him about his journey down the K-hole. Did the book live up to his expectations? And how did it stack up next to KOK's famous nyt magazine piece "My Saga," which James has also read?Drew was halfway into a bottom-shelf bottle of Zinfandel called "The Federalist" (really) during this one so be warned the discussion strays often and egregiously from KOK. From what I remember some of the things we talked about were: French Canada; coups (both d'etat and other varieties); geriatric ballsacs; an encounter Drew had with Fareed Zakaria; European-style racism; Chinese phyllo-semitism; and potential sponsors of the pod (if you're the company that makes numbing dick wipes please reach out).Thank you so much to James for bearing with us. I very much recommend checking out his book, "The Great Firewall of China," which would absolutely be top of my list of I was capable of reading books other than Knausgaard. He also has another book coming out next year, "Speak Not: Empire, Identity and the Politics of Language" which he promises me will explain why Welsh people don't use normal vowels.As always, feel free to reach out to me at teixeira.lauren@gmail.com. Would love to hear more from listeners about their journey taking the K-pill and possibly read excerpts of those testimonials on the pod!Finally, if you are an older man who would like to share a picture of your wizened nutsack with Drew, you can find him at deohringer@gmail.com

The evidence seemed to point to an intruder, but suspicion soon fell on Russell's valet. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the investigation and trial, and the late revelation that decided the case. We'll also marvel at Ireland's greenery and puzzle over a foiled kidnapping. Intro: Marshal Ney directed his own execution. Lewis Carroll invented an alphabet he could write in the dark.

And James Griffiths, author of The Great Firewall of China, takes us through a short history of how the CCP built an alternative version of the internet, and how it became the perfect authoritarian tool.

In this week's episode, we hear about an interesting "Come and Try" event coming up in Melbourne, in June.  We speak with James Griffiths who is involved with the project about his story, the event, and interesting sports with which he is involved.
