Daily: CHINA CRISIS with Dr Yu Jie

How did China really perform in the biggest global health disaster in 100 years? Chatham House China and diplomacy expert DR YU JIE gives Alex Andreou the inside story on the PRC’s response to Corona. What was behind the infamous silencing of warnings about the virus from local doctors? Will the Crisis threaten the Party’s rule? What it’s like to live with China’s stringent, ultra-personal monitoring programme? And how do things feel different for a Chinese person in the West now?

• “China needs to let the scientific evidence speak for itself, rather than orchestrating a propaganda campaign to tell its narrative.”
• “Chinese social media is not particularly kind about Chinese people returning home. They say ‘Why are you bringing the virus home to us?”
• “The 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party comes in 2021. China will need an economic success story to tell its population.”
