Ne Zha 2 has just become the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally. It's a fantasy film about a boy's quest, fighting demons with magical powers, based on Chinese mythology. It's now in the top 10 biggest movies in history and it could end up beating Avatar, as people are still going to see it. This is the first time the Chinese film industry - which is in large part controlled by the information arm of the Chinese Communist Party - has created such a successful film.BBC journalist Koh Ewe explains why this film has been such a hit, and what this tells us about Chinese cinema. Kerry Allen, who monitors Chinese media for the BBC, explains what the reaction's been like in China and film reviewer Sully from @SullyStreams on YouTube gives us his verdict on the film.

Japan blamed the attack on rising xenophobia and online nationalism in China.

This week we've had the release of what is, right now, the most popular game in the world - but it's not a new version of GTA or Minecraft - this one is from China and it's called Black Myth: Wukong. There are predictions it's going to make hundreds of millions of dollars - and it now has more than two million active online players. It's been made by a relatively small Chinese company called Game Science and it's the first time a game from the country has managed to break through internationally on this scale.The BBC's Kerry Allen, a China media analyst, describes the gaming industry in China - and the various restrictions gamers there face. And Mel Ramsay, a BBC journalist and video games expert explains why the game has become so popular inside and outside China - and some of the controversies around it.Also, Kirk McKeand, a video games journalist in the UK who has played Black Myth: Wukong, gives us his take.

Just over a decade ago, President Xi Jinping was a virtual unknown. Few would say that now. In ten years, he's reworked the Chinese Communist party, the military and the government so that he's firmly in control. He's also vanquished all of his obvious rivals. And now, he's about to extend his time in office. Some say Xi might stay in the top job indefinitely. So how did Xi Jinping do it? Celia Hatton, the BBC's Asia Pacific Editor, speaks to fellow China watchers to find out. Producer: Rob Walker Editor: Clare Fordham Researcher: Ben Cooper Studio Manager: James Beard Production Coordinators: Maria Ogundele and Helena Warwick-Cross With special thanks to Kerry Allen.

For online influencers getting verification - a blue tick next to their social media account name - is the ultimate prize. It brings credibility and elevates their status online. Presenter David Harper investigates how accounts can become 'verified', what it means, and if you make your money through online platform, how much is it actually worth? David speaks to Matt Navarra, a social media consultant and industry analyst. Matt has worked for Meta and Google amongst others and says he asked how to get a blue tick dozens of times each week. He explains why verification is useful to brands and users. Entrepreneur Jacques Bastien lives in New York, he works with different brands and companies, and explains why verification is so important for his clients, making them seem more trustworthy. He says the blue tick has a financial benefit which is hard to quantify, but is there. And the BBC's China media analyst Kerry Allen explains the different approach by Sina Weibo, where accounts are checked and ‘verified' to a certain degree when an account is created. She explains the different ‘V' system that accounts have depending on who owns the account. Presented and produced by David Harper. (Image: Social media influencer. Credit: Getty)

It's natural to rethink your career. We're in unprecedented times, causing many of us to review our career paths, consider taking a break or search for new opportunities. In this episode, we will discuss strategies to increase your employability, even if you decided to take a career break, which many professionals are doing due to pandemic burnout. When I develop ideas for episodes, I make a few assumptions about my listeners. For example, I assume they are ambitious for their career. Otherwise, why would they be listening to The Job Hunting Podcast!? I assume, of course, that they want a job and want to live their lives with purpose, as opposed to finding whatever job is available. They want to find a job aligned with their values. Leading a purposeful life is a very post-covid sentiment. Everyone wants it. However, the outcome of two years of working and living under unusual circumstances has taken a toll. Many of us are burnout.  People "feel so apathetic now they're having to deal with the coronavirus and feel exhausted. They literally just want to lie down with a book, or sit and watch some TV, rather than keep the momentum going by working hard," says Kerry Allen, the BBC's China media analyst. It's normal to want to take a break. Don't be hard on yourself for feeling unmotivated. In this episode, I will: Discuss what's happening with the labor force and why the unemployment rate is so low. It is not because the economy is thriving. It's way more complicated than that. Offer you two better ways to assess your chances of getting your next job fast. A clue: it is not the unemployment rate! Explain the importance of paying attention to trends and what type of news to consume if you want to advance in your career.  Links mentioned in this episode: The Job Hunting Podcast Ep. 108.

Brenden also describes how COVID-19 affected his health department's TB program. 

“Lying flat” - or tang ping - is a trend among mainly young Chinese to opt out of the rat race and it represents the antithesis of a development model that has delivered extraordinary growth for the country over four decades. The sentiment has been widespread enough to warrant a public condemnation from the President. Xi Jinping. Ed Butler hears from "Jeff," a computer developer from Hangzhou, but working in Beijing, who explains why he decided to give up on the Chinese dream in pursuit of a better quality of life. The BBC's China specialist Kerry Allen describes how the trend has developed online and how it's been accelerated by the forced slowdown during the pandemic. And Dr Lauren Johnston, a scholar of Chinese economics with a focus on the demographic shifts, says that both the privileged and the poorer 20 and 30-somethings feel exhausted by the Chinese ultra-competitive world of work and family pressures.

Former poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy and Mercury-nominated songwriter Kathryn Williams have released new album 'Midnight Chorus'. We ask them about their collaboration and how they avoided the clichés of Christmas. With added pressure from Covid and fewer staff because of Brexit, the demand for care workers has risen. In October this year there were 130,000 vacant care worker posts in England, leaving many people without the care they need. Last week, government advisors said that care worker jobs should be placed on the shortage occupation list, which would make it easier for employers to hire and sponsor migrant workers in these roles. What would this mean for the care sector? Emma speaks to Karolina Gerlich, executive director of The Care Workers Charity and Louise Arnold, Managing Director of Peninsula care homes. There has been widespread concern for the safety of Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai since she posted sexual assault allegations against a former top political figure a few weeks ago. She disappeared and then returned saying she was safe and well. Now the tennis player has denied saying she was sexually assaulted. What are we to make of this? Emma speaks to Kerry Allen, China Media analyst for BBC Monitoring. The Christmas Radio Times is out and we now know what TV we can look forward to watching over the festive period. But can TV divide a household rather than unite it? Are women the gatekeepers of family TV? Or do men rule the remote? Professor of Media and Communications, Catherine Johnson, has looked at the impact lockdown has had on our family TV watching styles, and journalist Emma Beddington tells us what she'll be tuning into in her house.

Docs gets to talk about his almost interesting day and we reveal our March Madness picks. We are joined by Georgetown Running Club president and Rock and Roll Half Marathon Champion Kerry Allen who continues the college basketball discussion. She tells us about getting back into running after a long break from the sport, running for GRC and in Washington DC. Then, for some reason, Farley tries to guess what Kerry does for a living before we get back to running related strava talk. Joanna and Farley trade Grandma stories, Docs has a political story, Farley dives into another Marathon Cheater Reveal and we pay tribute to the late great running legend Ed Whitlock.
