A new US-China podcast
Jane Perlez, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who served as Beijing bureau chief for the Times, spent much of her career writing about China. She covers the rise of Chinese leader Xi Jinping and how the United States struggles to respond to China's growth.
Now, Jane is exploring the origins of the rivalry and conflict between the two superpowers in her new podcast, “Face-Off: The US vs. China”. In the eight-episode series, Jane and her co-host, Rana Mitter, a historian at Harvard, talk to diplomats, spies and even Yo-Yo Ma.
The podcast focuses on key parts of the unraveling relationship – including near collisions between US spy planes and Chinese fighter jets, as well as Apple's compromise when the company flirting with China – to find out how the two countries, once friends, became rivals.
“We tried to come up with some rationales and some ways to think about moving forward without being hysterical,” Jane told me. “We're trying to see China for what it is, which is a challenge, but it's something the United States is extremely capable of solving.”
